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...

Firefly At Night (naviarhaiku390)

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.

This week's Haiku is by Santoka:
Wind blows it's way to sea. Deep in night. Alone.

I took a different approach this week, layering up several sounds from my BS2. Streichfett, JP-8080, D-05, and Nord Piano so that they were playable from my MC2000 master keyboard, and then performing a live ad-lib using them, switching them in and out as I played.  I also used an unusual reverb on the BigSky to add more strangeness to the atmosphere. This is a single take, recorded direct from the mixer.

More relaxed than part I, somewhere in dream country, with a few coins tossed at the beginning and the end asking for the next turn of events.
