halF exhalinG [naviarhaiku389]

A track for Naviar Records Haiku Challenge. The line 'Inhaling and exhaling' gave me the idea of having something with a lots of space, almost room to breath. The first section hopefully has that sense of inhaling and exhaling where the music comes in and out.

The Ocean In June  ( Naviarhaiku 389 )

I’m seeing the blue sea
The sound of drum has very softened
And Spring is in the air

Yamaguchi Sodo, whose real name was Nobuaki, was a haiku poet and a flood control expert during the Edo period. A contemporary of Matsuo Basho, Yamaguchi Sodo met the Great Master for the first time in 1675; the two poets soon became close friends and exchanged letters until the death of Basho in 1694.

The Ocean In June (naviarhaiku389)

Created for Naviar Records' weekly haiku challenge. I used the irregular pizzicato on the 1st and 2nd violins to represent the fireworks, together with a melancholy melody representing the other part of the poem.

Far Fireworks (naviarhaiku392) - Adrian Lane

A track for Naviar Records weekly haiku challenge, making a track in response to the haiku posted within one week. I wanted to capture the feeling of watching the rain hit the windows during a storm on a spring day. I also think the piece has a slightly medieval feel to it.

Rain In Spring (naviarhaiku394) - Adrian Lane

A track for Naviar Records' weekly haiku challenge. As this haiku mentions specific Japanese imagery (the kimonos and Tokyo's Sumida River) I thought I'd base my piece largely around the Hirajoshi pentatonic scale, although I have taken a couple of liberties and added an extra note in the first section.

Watching The Sumida (naviarhaiku396) - Adrian Lane

A track for Naviar Records' weekly haiku challenge; seven days to make a piece in response to the haiku posted. Like many of the other pieces I have produced for the challenge, this is based around the sound of the string quartet, playing solemn, minor key melodies.

On Many Solemn Nights We Stand And Marvel (naviarhaiku397) - Adrian Lane

A track for Naviar Records' weekly haiku challenge; seven days to write and record a piece in response to the haiku poem they post. I imagined a summer morning walking through the fields in the area I grew up, the pizzicato representing the cut hay and a pastoral melody.

My answer to the naviar haiku challenge week 369
Equipment: Roland Gaia + Roland D70 + Behringer Crave + Gibson SG Standard.
All music made and played my me.
This will be the last Naviar Haiku challenge from me for now, maybe some day in the future? We never know? I'd rather concentrate on my own projects/plans/collaborations for the nearby future

Red Leaves On The Ground [Naviarhaiku369]

One traveller,
Wakes another traveller,
At the sight of the sea.

The Haiku Foundation is always a rich source of inspiration. I immediately fell in love with this poem by Choshi, included in R.H. Blyth “Japanese Satirical Verses“. For those of you who are not familiar with the difference between haiku and senryu: the former tends to be about nature, while the latter refers to some aspect of human nature or emotions. Their structure is similar.

I couldn’t find any information on Choshi online, so here’s what R.H. Blyth said about our haiku of the week:

“We have here a clear example of the difference between haiku and senryu. The sight of the sea in the early morning makes someone wake up a fellow traveller. But what remains in our minds is not the sea glittering in the morning sunshine, but the shaking and awakening of the traveller by someone who hardly knows him from Adam. We feel the kinship of the men through that one touch of nature.”
