haiku #368: A river in January / running through / a January valley

From a series of (almost) daily ocean glimpses. The music is composed to a video of the sea (photons captured fresh every day). You can experience the full video version here: https://youtu.be/9_kjAos1HnY

Glimpse 1470 (Oct 11 2025)

We've seen this picture before.

A collaboration piece with Bleeptwig building upon Manafiend's wonderfully nostalgic and cinematic piano and strings piece - adding and spacing layers. A lot of layers. Eight layers. And the some more layers.

Some guitar melody added to ikjoyce's synth track: https://soundcloud.com/ikjoyce/disquiet0472-jamtimebacking

I chose to play in F harmonic minor instead of natural minor. The sharp 7th sounds a little off sometimes but I like it.

hidden among  the trees  ( Naviarhaiku 369 )

This is the last part of an asynchronous jam with halF unusuaL and Lake Forest Sound Machine.  I recorded some guitar melodies to https://soundcloud.com/half-unusual/half-robodub-disquiet0473-with-lake-forest-sound-machine

...which was a duet with https://soundcloud.com/lakeforestsoundmachine/robodub-disquiet0472

The original track was pretty tonally chaotic. I picked out a few frequencies and from that chose to jam (for the most part) in B melodic minor/harmonic minor but there's a lot of fourths which gives it kind of a goofy feel. There's also some chromatic moments.

Heavenly creatures
descending it seems –
the sea of spring

Matsunaga Teitoku (1571-1654) was an early haikai poet and founder of the Teimon school of poetry, which aimed to make haikai accessible to a wide audience while striving to make it a respectable literary form. A task ultimately accomplished by Bashō.
