haiku #451: first light / losing the thread / of a dream

a collection of 20 tracks made in the last two years- many made in response to Haiku's presented as part NaviarHaiku's weekly sound challenges. Some started off inspired by certain moods or environment sounds.

Calm reflections and distractions...

This is the final experiment I'm going to do using an Audacity cut up from the piano improvisation I did a few weeks back (thanks @stellato-strings for use of your lovely piano), and I'm still playing around with seeing what sounds I can maximise from the Garageband presets.

I'm creating material for a set by a canal bridge in Woodbridge for the Ambient Festival on 24th September: https://www.woodbridgeambientmusicfestival.com/#/saturday-floating/

All hail to the marvellous weekly Naviar Records Haiku challenge, details of this prompt below:

first light
losing the thread
of a dream

As a Nashville-born transplant to Rochester, New York, Taylor Wray has found short-form poetry to be the perfect antidote to the long, cold winters. Taylor is the author of two collections of haiku and senryū: WAITING FOR THE MOON and SINKING AND RESURFACING (both from Inspirebytes Omni Media).

For more of Taylor’s poetry, follow him on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook at @inthreelines, or visit https://linktr.ee/inthreelines.

Losing the thread of a dream [naviarhaiku451]

This lovely haiku by Taylor Wray led me towards the Phrygian mode. My improvisation, in E Phrygian, is played on Babylon VST synth. Recorded and mixed in Reaper, with Frostbite2 added. Mastered with CloudBounce.

The Seahorse and the Swan(NaviarHaiku516)

started from a few notes on home made string instrument- attempt to create the sound world of an often active brain awake at 4am but going nowhere! :) Thanks NaviarHaiku & ,Marco.

The noise of a busy mind in the silence of inertia(NaviarHaiku534)

bells, piano and guitar based sounds weave in and out of each other like cherry blossoms enveloping the figure of a person, inspired by the haiku;
The figure of a man
swallowed by the world
hanafubuki
by Natsume Soseki’

"   the concept of hanafubuki, which can be translated as “flower snowstorm”. It's a common theme in Japanese art and literature to represent the beauty of impermanence and cyclicity of life and nature. One of the most influential modern Japanese writers, Natsume Soseki’s literary career started in 1903, with a series of haiku and renga published on various literary magazines.

Between 1900 and 1903 he studied at the UCL in London, but this proved to be quite a dramatic experience for the young Soseki. Despite this, when Soseki returned to Japan, he exploded into prolific writing activity."
