haiku #324: sleeping, waking / the emptiness / of my mosquito net

Naviar Haiku is a weekly challenge to create a piece of music based on a poem. See https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku/. This week's haiku is by Yamaguchi Sodo (fl. 1675):

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

For this one (my 5th) I thought I'd try something different from my usual electroacoustic creations. It's an orchestral piece - in 7/8 time - to celebrate springtime. Is it also a bit jokey? You can decide...

To Calmer Seas (naviarhaiku388)

A new track exploring a different sound palette to usual; for this I wanted to use largely brass instruments. A kind of post-rock brass band.
The lead brass instruments were Audio Modelling's SWAM Flugelhorn, French Horn and Trombone.

Ours Was A Steep Crooked Stair

THOT String And Zitherversion

Secret Messages In The Spring Breeze (naviarhaiku439)

Takakuwa Rankō was a haijin from Kanazawa and a student of Wada Kiin. Born into a wealthy merchant family, he travelled all over Japan and finally settled in Kyoto, practising as a doctor. A great admirer of Bashō, he erected a small shrine (the Bashō-dō 芭蕉堂) in his honour in 1783. Among his main pupils was the poet Sakurai Baishitsu.

I imaged three children playing an improvised game of parkour, jumping over obstacles, chasing each other. Musically this is three improvised synth phrases with added snippets of vocals.

The collection represents an attempt to explore various states of mind, ranging from the eerie to the joyful, elicited by and expressed via repetitive arpeggios accompanied by ambient layers and electronic rhythm.

tetkik ve tedavi is Adil Sarıbay, an Istanbul-based musician working with various techniques and devices to explore ambient and electronic musical possibilities for self-expression and communication of experiences and emotions.
