On New Year’s Day  ( Naviarhaiku 417 )

naviarhaiku417 – on New Year’s Day

on New Year’s Day
lucky! lucky!
a pale blue sky

As customary, the final haiku of the year is by Kobayashi Issa. I just discovered New Year’s Day was the first day of spring in the old Japanese calendar, and it generally fell on February.

Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Issa was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun. If you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.

Happy New Year to all!

New Year Quartet (naviarhaiku417)

A track for Naviar Records Haiku challenge; seven days in which to create a track in response to the haiku posted. As the Haiku is about New year's day I thought it appropriate to write it on this day. For this piece I decided to do something different to my past Haiku challenges, with no brass or strings in this piece. A Piano and synth piece mainly based around Olafur Arnald's Stratus software. I decided to use a slightly dissonant key, reflecting the uncertainty of the world at the moment, whilst at the same time trying to give a more hopeful feel.
