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...

white petals
on the stormy sea -
floating memories

Haiku by Vincenzo, aka El Wud

Memory Petals(NaviarHaiku 545)

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."
