Fog and Rain (naviarhaiku586)

Here's my musical resonance to this week's haiku from @naviar-records.

fog dissolves to rain
- cool breezes clear the vista,
showing cloud-topped hills

Naviar Broadcast #372 – Spring dream… – Wednesday 18th June 2025

DRAKENSBERG

Drakensberg

Getting there, albeit slowly. The title track for orbits, which is inspired by a line from the fantastic Samantha Harvey novel Orbital (if you haven't read it, do so). A few more tracks in the works, and some other ideas starting to coalesce. The idea of releasing an actual album is odd to me, despite being something I've wanted to do since I was about 15.

Orbits Of Tender Indifference

March of the Inanimate – Repossessed
Release Date: August 24, 2016
© 2016 Keith Richie

March of the Inanimate – Repossessed is a dark, cinematic soundscape that delves into obsession, mortality, and the supernatural. This reimagined and remastered edition of the original 2014 release expands the sonic narrative with new tracks and enhanced production—immersing the listener in a chilling audio experience.

A man, obsessed with defying death, steps into a long-abandoned home to retrieve a rumored artifact said to hold the key to immortality. But what he finds is not salvation… it is something far more sinister. As ancient forces awaken, his soul teeters on the edge of annihilation, pursued by horrors that march without mercy or sight.

This definitive edition draws inspiration from the atmospheric dread of classic horror soundtracks, particularly the works of John Carpenter and Alan Howarth. Through dark-electro pulses, suspenseful piano motifs, and immersive textures, Repossessed captures the mood of unearthed terror and psychological descent.

Now featuring three additional tracks and a fully remastered mix, March of the Inanimate – Repossessed stands as both a love letter to vintage horror scores and an original journey into the heart of sonic fear.

Critical Praise:

“Musically menacing, to say the very least. This opus incorporates haunting piano melodies and a deep intensity through its pulsing rhythms… it fits right into the gritty underworld of horror-movie-mania.”
— Jer@SBS, Sleeping Bag Studios

“Keith Richie has a way with electronic music—it rarely sounds synthetic. Here, he explores sonic storytelling beyond the confines of pop structure… an invitation to imagine films that don’t yet exist.”
— Robbie Tee, Jamsphere

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.
