spiky dream

Made for the haiku challenge 621 of Naviar records.

Deutzia in full white - deep in the night, the Milky Way. 

Haiku by Ikenishi Gonsui

Ikenishi Gonsui (1650–1722) was a haiku poet from Nara who settled permanently in Kyoto in 1684. A collection of his works, entitled Ikenishi Gonsui no kenkyū, was published in 2003.

A quiet cabin;
hunting milkcaps, I was soon
lost among the pines

Kagami Shikō was a Japanese poet, considered one of the ten outstanding disciples (Shōmon jittetsu 蕉門十哲) of Matsuo Bashō. He was in turn the master of the famous poetess Fukuda Chiyo-ni.

Originally from the present-day Gifu Prefecture, Kagami Shikō became a monk at Daichi-ji Temple, and in 1690 he became a pupil of Bashō, later accompanying him on some of his journeys and recording his last will in 1694.

After Basho's death, he kept travelling around Japan, writing several essays on haiku and collections of writings until his death in 1731.

A quiet cabin; (Naviarhaiku 624)

Little song for Kagami Shikō haiku:
"A quiet cabin;
hunting milkcaps, I was soon
lost among the pines"

In my language "Perdut entre la cabana" Little experiments only hardware soundscapes.

Lost among the cabin (naviarhaiku624)

A quietly epic, all-acoustic instrumental in 7/4, built around some simple melodic ideas voiced across ukuleles, acoustic guitars, and acoustic bass—exploring phrasing, articulation, and rhythmic displacement rather than repetition.

Fingerpicked and slide guitar lines intertwine with a grounded bass pulse and muted, organic percussion, creating a sense of forward motion that feels both playful and stubborn, light yet quietly profound.

The piece leans toward acoustic post-rock and organic prog, with cinematic, travel-adventure overtones and a strong melodic focus.

Instruments played:

Kala ukulele
Martin acoustic guitar
L’arrivée acoustic bass
Assorted percussion (including hitting my Spanish guitar w/mallets , doumbek and pezuñas)

Composed and performed by Daniel Diaz, December 2025

Inspired by the haiku:
A quiet cabin;
hunting milkcaps, I was soon
lost among the pines
— Kagami Shikō
