JUST BEFORE A DISCOVERY

A piece for Naviar Records' weekly haiku challenge. As the first word is 'experimenting', I thought I'd experiment with odd time signatures. The haiku has 5, 5 and 8 syllables, so my piece is based round two bars of 5 beats and 1 bar of 8 beats. I also wanted the piece to be quite melodic with the melancholy feel of a moonlit night under the trees.

Ghtcheona

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

I was actually just messing around for a few hours with some sounds and thinking of the heat wave we're having here in the UK. This was bubbling along and  I was playing some dead sounds on the piano when the Naviar Haiku came along, it seemed to fit the mood and the words. I then started a new arrangement to further focus the sounds on the words and meaning of the poem. Quite pleased with this. Not taken part in the Haiku challenge for a while so seemed a good time to come back to it.

Dreamin' or Somethin'

Dreamin' Or Somethin' - Naviarhaiku394

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.

halF parT [naviarhaiku394]

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.
