Kawahigashi Hekigoto (1873-1937) was an important advocate of the free verse haiku. His haiku inspired this improvisation, played on two instances of LABS VST synth. Recorded and mixed in Reaper. Mastered with CloudBounce.

If not now, when?

I love the smell of the ground after rain (petrichor), which this week's haiku, by Richard Barnes, evokes. It inspired my improvisation (in A Aeolian) played on a VST piano with effects from Guitar Rig 6. Recorded and mixed in Reaper. Mastered with CloudBounce.

Petrichor (naviarhaiku438)

Multiple layers of synths, strings, samples come together to create a wall of sound that is intended as a soundtrack to the outer reaches of Space and beyond.

I'm really happy to post this collaboration with E-noki . With her wonderful voice and cool production techniques she gave new life to this track. Thank you so much for all your work and input E-noki! And for proving at least some of my words turn out to be singable after all :).

For E-noki's solowork, please go to @e-noki); for the equally adventurous and beautiful collaboration of E-noki with Karl Gründer make sure to visit Anouge (@anougemusic)!

Finally: a big thank you to my friend SinTaMental (@sintamental), who made all of this possible in the first place!

Recorded 29July 2017, overdubs 5 December 2021.
Vocals recorded by E-noki January 2022.

E-noki: vocals, electronics, music and final mix
qsc: words and music, synthesizers, bowed guitar

Under the trees the river saw us embrace
Heard two hearts beating restlessly yet seeming safe
As the evening sun kissed the gentle waves
it never seemed to wonder why we came
While you and I dreamed of a ship to sail away
In still waters that are darker than before

"...in still waters" E-noki with quarkstrangenesscharm

My music is freely improvised, usually on VST synthesizers, sometimes fretless bass, guitar, occasionally electric viola or cello, with a variety of effects pedals. Solo music is performed live and recorded as 'FlownBlue'.  I am also in four improvising duos: 'Windfall Light' (with Jim Tetlow), 'Abstract Blue' (with Kevin Buckland), 'Light Fragments' (with Steve Escott), and Szukanie (with Michał Wojciechowski). I'm a member of the Quadelectronic improv group based in Leicester, UK. Duo music is all on Bandcamp - links below.
