I started and abandoned this track consistently during 2024, never finished it, never been sure about it but there's something I do like. The modulations are fun and clever, I think,  smooth and yet surprising and effective. I recorded several guitar takes over the year (each time I had a guitar recording session I gave this a fresh tray). I wanted this to be a "guitar" showcase, but eventually made it a full keyboards+bass+guitar+drums track.
The final guitar is an edit from 3 takes I did on a 6 month period, the one with volume pedal is nice.
So the title and the melodic motif (nicked from "Summer of '42") have been on my "to do" list for a couple of years, the actual performance comes  from 2024.
I took that photo in Costa Rica on February 2020.

A Koala Sampler jam using Tibetan bowls and subtle beats at 120 BPM. I was aiming for conflicting emotions - blissed out trance and moving your body.

A standard jazz ballad chord progression treated as an abstract ambient soundscape with three tracks of electric bass and 3 tracks of synthesisers.

Created June 12th 2025 For this haiku:

orchids by night –
within their fragrance looms
their blossoms’ white!

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.
