Welcome to the thirty-first experiment of Naviar Haiku. 

Waking up to rain
The percussive sounds of drops
Falling all around

Participants are to complete the task by Wednesday 13th August and post a track inspired by this haiku poem on Naviar’s Soundcloud group Naviar Laboratory: soundcloud.com/groups/naviar-laboratory

Waking Up Somewhere Else [Naviarhaiku031 - Waking Up To Rain]

I create Ambient, Electronic, Jazz Fusion, and Blues music - sometimes melding any of those forms together. Instruments, field recordings, a rare voice, writing code, and whatever else might sound cool are used.

Creating Musical Spaces for Imaginal Exploration.

Dear Friends,
we have been active on Soundcloud for 12 years now. Since the first beta we supported this wonderful project. Unfortunately Soundcloud has changed a lot. Since there are no more groups To us SC feels like frozen. The advertising is more annoying than on Spotify - even though we pay for it! Our visitors are mostly good old Friends. Most of them - like on reverbnation - are also musicians. Don't get me wrong, SC is a great Place to communicate with other musicians but not so much for promotion nowadays.
. 
Many of you spend a lot of time and energy in collecting likes and comments here - but what for if no "real" listeners come by? You work for soundcloud many hours a month, pay for it and have to listen to their addspots, too - crazy!
Soundcloud is offering a monetization similar to Spotify for a while now, when you become a pro-member. However, you need at least 1000 plays a month and come from the "right" country to participate and only a few reach that number every month.

We have compared the number of plays for some of our current tracks:

Cum Ex on SC 686 on Spotify 4131
Cum Cum on SC 393 on Spotify 3792
Farewell Fiji Islands on SC 2151 on Spotify 7944
Diversity Disappears on SC 3603 on Spotify 8309
Farmers on Fetanyl on SC 2252 on Spotify 7670

Please compare yourself: Tuh Pa Warez (maybe u need the free app to see stats) open.spotify.com/artist/6oJjFUCpo…MdQlmBWpp0M42rQA

Our plan: We bring you all to Spotify - for free :-) 
There you can see how much potential your tracks really have. You will automatically get your own account and can see how often you have been heard and how many follow you.

Normally that costs money, so we give you the opportunity to remix our tracks here. We then upload them to Spotify with you as featured artist and you'll get a passive account there, which you can turn into an active one anytime you feel your tracks are well received.

So happy remixing!

 How charged with punishments the scroll, 
 I am the master of my fate: 
 I am the captain of my soul."
