Indian Summer Dragonfly (naviarhaiku232)

trying to evoke a dragonfly shadow which i found hard but after i'd made this i went into the garden and saw the rare sight of a dragonfly which i mustve invoked!

arpeggiated classical samples, same midi as this weeks disquiet track

Masaoka Shiki is mostly known for having revitalized haiku in the time when,  after centuries of isolation, Japan opened to the West and was flooded with new ideas from abroad. You can find out more about Shiki and the artistic revolution that happened during his time in the essay “Masaoka Shiki and the Origins of Shasei“ by Charles Trumbull

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.
