I had the pleasure of making this track for the Naviar Haiku challenge for the haiku below.

This was recorded in preparation for the https://soundcloud.com/naviar-records curated Naviar Haiku Fest at Cafe Oto, London, on 7 December.

Music inspired by this haiku:

The spring sea:
all day long
undulating, undulating.

One of the four great haiku masters, Yosa Buson studied both Japanese and Chinese poetry. He was also an accomplished painter, and most of his poems were accompanied by paintings, resulting in a more diverse and individual set of works than the one by his main historical influence, Basho.

EX ABRUPTO - Sortie de résidence (june 2024) - recording excerpts (with Erämaa Trio)

The Same

Every old instrument carries with it the memory of its best performance. The broken cello in the back of the junk store was no exception.

Disquiet Junto 0659 had us squinting at a close-up photograph of the back of a cello, and instructed us to interpret the grain and pockmarks as a musical score.

This composition is an interpretation of Nick Drake's "Cello Song", reimagined as a symphonic piece. I spent an inordinate amount of time with a physical modeling synthesizer to try to create the sound of the broken cello. I hope it's convincing.

To hear the music like the junkstore cello remembers it, it's best to use a trusted set of headphones.
