haiku #526: Turning around / I see my shadow / in the moonlight

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...

Float

Strange Dreams of a Turtle...laughing at us.

Strange Dreams Are Made Of This(NaviarHaiku488)

one of  a series of pieces thinking about Seahorses!  Yet another underestimated fellow creature:) Mysterious and intriguing.
Thanks to this weeks lovely Naviar Haiku poem, by Corine Timmer,  for setting me on this audio train of thought!

Mysteries In Moon Dust(NaviarHaiku526)

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."
