Nice ethereal mood - the stretch really helps keep things together.

Delayed tremolo on the strummed chords are so bright and airy against the twilight background.. You really captured the mood of the Haiku.

Haiku #212: Under a winter moon / with shallow water / a river flows

A dark, fateful opening ushers in the vast expanse of the Pandemic Suite. The bassoon strikes a motif of destiny— a solemn call, answered with heavy hearts by the string orchestra.
Inevitable, unrelenting, chord upon chord presses forward, until the music finds its root— the home key, like fate fulfilled.
A dark entry-gate to the 31-part Suite.

Pandemic Suite – 01. Prologue

An Ambient Improv meditation on my Kawai ES7 Stage Piano seeking to describe... 

a feeling.... an atmosphere... a certain something that seems to be in the very air we're breathing. A moment... a pause... 
a sensing of what the french call... 'je ne sais quoi'.

May you relax and enJoy.

SONG 114 - NaviarHaiku604 - In Spring Sunlight

un trio un peu étrange : piano/cello/trompette bouchée, pour une ballade entre chat et loup; bref encore une rêverie, inspirée par un chat qui aime les livres

ce chat qui médite

inside the cathedral

Under a Winter Moon [NaviarHaiku212]

multi-instrumentalist & composer.
Genre fluid music for images / instrumental / contemporary post-fusion / experimental jazz / electro acoustic ambient / melodic noise / neoclassical / naive hard core / cosmopolitan world music.

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.
