Serenity Darkness(naviarhaiku409)

naviarhaiku409 – darkness

Darkness,
Wet with
The sound of the waves

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka 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.

Seven days to make music in response to the assigned haiku: to participate visit https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

Deadline: 10th November 2021

Klang Wellt

Klang Wellt (naviarhaiku409)

Hello, this is a composition of some water recordings that I did earlier this year. They came in well for this haiku !
Submission for https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku/

The water recordings begin calmly, then become more intense, but then breathing becomes almost like the water, the same movement. Deeply, profoundly, the air gets surrounded by deep water. As if meditation transforms the lungs of thos of an ancient dragon.

Waves Of Darkness (naviarhaiku409)

This week's haiku, by Santōka (1882-1940) inspired a peaceful improvisation in A Aeolian, played on Go2 VST synth (by Rob Papen).

Darkness (naviarhaiku409)

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.
