on New Year's Day

As customary, the first haiku of the year is by Kobayashi Issa.

Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828) was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun.

New Year Foreboding (naviarhaiku574)

Disquiet Junto Project 0679: Ice Age
The Assignment: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it.

With my Zoom H5 I recorded some Ice Cubes falling into and moving inside a salad bowl made of glass. I made a lot of efforts to get most out of the sound, for example I placed the bowl on a clotheshorse, so that it can swing more freely … but at the end I didn't use these sounds. I applied a lot of diverse stretching and reverb to get some pads and made a Pigments granular patch with some sounds I liked most. What I had planned didn't work and I made a lot of unusable detours. Now it's mostly an improvisation over some kind of instable repetitive structure, and I like it. All sound is based on the ice cube glass recordings; you may assume there are water noises, but it's really (stretched) ice, maybe sometimes with some surrounding meltwater.

The recordings can be found on my Freesound page

on new years day everywhere a corrupt worlds blossoms-naviarhaiku574

All sounds originate from the Behringer Kobol with mixing and effects from Logic. I love the Kobol which is simple yet quirky.

I felt the haiku to be very hard to interpret. The line "corrupt world's blossoms" was hard to understand. What I knew was that it didn't invoke the same peaceful ambient textures that haiku's usually inspire.  So this tune is a bit harsh compared to the others.

Does anyone ever read these descriptions? :-)

Lost (naviarhaiku574)

Inquiétude

I use sound as a way to express my healing process, accept reality, and find beauty in life's unpredictability. In its raw and unfiltered form, sound serves as a powerful medium for conveying the complex emotions I experience while navigating life's chaos and uncertainty. By embracing disharmony and unexpected shifts in my music, I am not only accepting reality as it is, but also transforming it into something meaningful and intimate for me. This creates a space where vulnerability and acceptance coexist, allowing me to find love and beauty in the imperfect and even the disturbing.

bio here:
http://dedeland.com/daniel-diaz-bio/


In some words:
Composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist. Born in Argentina,
I studied music in Buenos Aires, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Paris.

For 20 years, I developed an important career as a session and backing musician in Argentina and Europe, playing, among other instruments, the bass, touring and recording with many jazz, rock, fusion, world, Latin and tango bands.

At the same time, I worked as an arranger, producer and musical director with many projects and artists in the USA, Argentina and Europe.

From 1992 to 1997, I performed my compositions live with my own band in Buenos Aires and began a solo recording career with the worldwide release of my first album "The Years Alone" on the North American label Green Linnet/Xenophile. On this album I arranged and performed 11 of my songs written between 1986 and 1993. I played most of the instruments, but included guest appearances by some great South American players.

My recording career continued with "Segundo Ciclo" (1997), released worldwide by Timeless Records, and 12 more albums released between 2000 and 2016.

Currently, I work as an on-demand film/TV composer while continuing to play live and produce.

Naviar is a music community and label. Through regular publications, open projects and events, we explore the connection between experimental music and traditional Japanese poetry.
