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.

Shining ashes in the dark

Shining Ashes In The Dark (naviarhaiku442)

The concept of the “wood-wide web” is a term that’s been coined by scientists and biologists studying the underground systems of roots and fungi which ultimately create a family tree of connections across the planet. In short, all forests “hold hands” under the earth. Communicating through a subterranean internet, trees are able to feed those in need from miles away and grow stronger together
According to Suzanne Simard, who’s been studying the phenomenon for decades, while it may not be immediately visible, it creates palpable energy. “When I walk into a forest, I feel the spirit of the whole thing, everything working together in harmony,” she tells Smithsonian Magazine’s Richard Grant. “It doesn’t make evolutionary sense for trees to behave like resource-grabbing individualists,” Simard explains, noting that instead, a “healthy stable forest” benefits most when everyone thrives. “That’s why they’ve evolved to help their neighbors.” (https://alpynbeauty.com/blogs/alpyn-crush/woods-wide-web)

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)

False Awakening

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.

Echoes of memory (naviarhaiku512)

Echoes Of Memory (naviarhaiku512)

This track draws inspiration from the rhythms and sounds of popular music from southern Italy (Neapolitan tammuriata and pizzica salentina) with electronic processing and recordings of voices and sounds from some Neapolitan markets.
The Laurieddhu is a mischievous elf from the folklore of southern Italy, in Naples he is known as Munaciello. He never appears during the day. Very similar and corresponding figures to this spirit are also found in other Italian regions or in the tradition of the Irish Leprechaun.

Laurieddhu

Inspired by the following haiku
white petals
on the stormy sea -
floating memories

Wandering Memories

Wandering Memories (naviarhaiku545)

Inspired by the following haiku written Kyorai a Japanese haiku poet:

autumn wind...
I am stringing
a plain-wood bow

This is one of Kyorai's most famous poem, and one that Natsume Sōseki used as an example of great haiku poetry when teaching at a high school in Kumamoto.

A Soft Autumn Wind (naviarhaiku563)

Track created by processing a lonely voice recorded in a street of Naples.
For all the suffering, forgotten and unheard voices of the world.

Pain flows like blood through time

Pain Flows Like Blood Through Time

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 (Wildsilences is no longer on SoundCloud, but will forever stay on Bandcamp, https://wildsilences.bandcamp.com/). 
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 Bandcamp page.

Drifting away

Inspired by the sound of a music box recorded several years ago (you can listen to it at the beginning and at the end of the track)

A little memory circle

Inspired by the following haiku written by Konishi Raizan, a famous haiku poet of the Genroku period (1688-1704).
spring dream…
not becoming unhinged
is what’s unbearable

Shapeless Shadows

Shapeless shadows (NaviarHaiku600)

This song is for Palestine. The voices at the end of the track were recorded during a pro-Palestine demonstration in Naples.

My name has dissolved
letter by letter, into the air.
My dreams have vanished in a timeless sky
I don't remember my face
Jewish soldiers stole it
They dissolved it
And now I no longer have a name, nor a face
Like my land, torn and devastated.

Nameless Children

Nameless children

The idea for this track was born from listening to a piano experiment by Meccaniche del Suono (https://soundcloud.com/meccaniche-del-suono/2-di-3-hole-third-disquiet0698). 
The sound of the piano (Meccaniche del Suono) made me imagine that moment of suspension  in the air just before the rain. 
I thank the author (@meccaniche-del-suono) for the permission to rework and publish the track. I invite you to visit his very interesting Soundcloud page.

Just before the rain

There are moments when sounds and images fall like rain from the clouds of memory.

Mnemonic Rain

Under a vague and dim light

Imagining a microphone placed inside a mole’s tunnel, the piece gathers and transforms barely perceptible underground sounds. A listening practice directed toward what usually remains beneath the surface.

Subterranean Ears

Inspired by the following haiku written by Takahama Kyoshi,  a Japanese poet active during the Shōwa period of Japan.
A single paulownia leaf
sunlit as it falls
to the ground.

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
