Inspired by this haiku written by Nozawa Bonchō (1640 - 1714):
The long, long river
A single line
On the snowy plain

The world line (or worldline) of an object is the path that object traces in 4-dimensional spacetime. It is an important concept in modern physics, and particularly theoretical physics.

Thanks to Naviar Records (@naviar-records) for their fantastic work.

Shining Ashes In The Dark (naviarhaiku442)

Heterotopy is a term coined by the French philosopher Michel Foucault to indicate "those spaces that have the particular characteristic of being connected to all the other spaces, but in such a way as to suspend, neutralize or invert the set of relations that they themselves designate, they reflect or mirror ».
The mirror is, for example, heterotopic, we see ourselves where we are not, in an unreal space that opens virtually behind the surface but which, at the same time, is an absolutely real place, connected to all the space that surrounds it.

Heterotopy

A false awakening is a vivid and convincing dream about awakening from sleep, while the dreamer in reality continues to sleep. After a false awakening, subjects often dream they are performing daily morning routine such as showering, cooking, cleaning, eating, and using the bathroom. False awakenings, mainly those in which one dreams that they have awoken from a sleep that featured dreams, take on aspects of a double dream or a dream within a dream. A classic example is the double false awakening of the protagonist in Gogol's Portrait (1835).(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_awakening)

Weaving In A Sudden Breeze (naviarhaiku473)

Inspired by this haiku written by Santōka, a wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, he was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.
Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.
Early morning,
One star remaining,
It’s a good day too.

The idea of ​​this track comes from listening to the track Un Momento 2  by Rosmarino Baia(https://soundcloud.com/rosmarinobaia). 
Komorebi (木漏れ日)in the Japanese language is the light that filters through the leaves of the trees, a brief but very intense moment that expresses a state of mind, a feeling that is elusive, like the rays of the sun filtering through the leaves trees in a forest or during an eclipse. A magical sensation, but at the same time also melancholic, which reminds us of the impermanence and constant changeability of all things.Thanks again to Rosmarino Baia for the collaboration, I invite to visit his very interesting page and listening to his great music: https://soundcloud.com/rosmarinobaia

For all the suffering, forgotten and unheard voices of the world.

Galactic Souvenir

Re-elaboration of human breathing, voices and cat purrs

Deep breath

The idea for this track was born from listening to a vocal experiment by Wildsilences (@wildsilencez). I tried to reproduce the voice as if it were a sound far from the sea. I thank the author for the permission to rework and publish the track. I invite you to visit his very interesting Soundcloud page.

Drifting away

A term used to denote the movements of the imagination in which vectors of meaning are created out of the relationships between physical and virtual world spaces.

Interference of Light

Transitional Space

Karma is neither a punishment nor a reward, it is simply a gigantic cosmic mirror that reflects back what you emit.

Thanks Gipsy Cat for its cosmic purr at the end of the track

When I listened to Wie Wir Die Welt, Matthias Boss violin improvisations, I immediately thought that I would like to weave sounds between those notes launched towards unexplored landscapes. So I asked the author for permission to work on his track with remakes of his own violin and other manipulations. Kindly Matthias agreed and this track is the result of our virtual collaboration. I invite you to listen to it and above all I invite you to listen to the original track and the rest of the Matthias Boss tracks. https://soundcloud.com/bosspfaeffli

The Taiji dolphin drive hunt is based on driving dolphins and other small cetaceans into a small bay where they can be killed or captured for their meat and for sale to dolphinariums (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiji_dolphin_drive_hunt).
During the entire six-month long hunting season dolphins are routinely subjected to harassment, suffering and abuse. Dolphins are chased, injured, manhandled, run-over by skiffs, dragged, drowned, taken captive and slaughtered. Entire pods of dolphins are decimated, from the very young to the very old. (https://www.dolphinproject.com/campaigns/save-japan-dolphins/)
Sea in the cove turns red with blood as dolphins are slaughtered.

The massacre of dolphins in Taiji is the symbol of human indifference towards Life.

The Red Cove

Experimental ambient project realized with the use of sound overlaps, causal collisions and cosmic echoes.
