haiku #451: first light / losing the thread / of a dream

adventure time

Desert Storm

This is the final experiment I'm going to do using an Audacity cut up from the piano improvisation I did a few weeks back (thanks @stellato-strings for use of your lovely piano), and I'm still playing around with seeing what sounds I can maximise from the Garageband presets.

I'm creating material for a set by a canal bridge in Woodbridge for the Ambient Festival on 24th September: https://www.woodbridgeambientmusicfestival.com/#/saturday-floating/

All hail to the marvellous weekly Naviar Records Haiku challenge, details of this prompt below:

first light
losing the thread
of a dream

As a Nashville-born transplant to Rochester, New York, Taylor Wray has found short-form poetry to be the perfect antidote to the long, cold winters. Taylor is the author of two collections of haiku and senryū: WAITING FOR THE MOON and SINKING AND RESURFACING (both from Inspirebytes Omni Media).

For more of Taylor’s poetry, follow him on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook at @inthreelines, or visit https://linktr.ee/inthreelines.

Losing the thread of a dream [naviarhaiku451]

This lovely haiku by Taylor Wray led me towards the Phrygian mode. My improvisation, in E Phrygian, is played on Babylon VST synth. Recorded and mixed in Reaper, with Frostbite2 added. Mastered with CloudBounce.

First Light (naviarhaiku451)

A song describing a "chore progression" - in my case, hoovering.

naviarhaiku476 – Birds in a bare tree

Birds in a bare tree
Dance on windswept branches
Their waiting ballet…

John Hinks, aka FlownBlue, is a prolific and talented composer, and a regular participant in the Haiku challenge. Aside from his solo project, John is also involved in three improvising duos: ‘Windfall Light‘ (with Jim Tetlow), ‘Abstract Blue‘ (with Kevin Buckland) and ‘Light Fragments‘ (with Steve Escott).

Birds in a bare tree (naviarhaiku476)

A ghostly current drifts through the ruins of a forgotten world. Wraithstorm moves like an ethereal wind, carrying distant echoes of memory and time. Soft, glowing drones weave through the mist, while spectral melodies rise and fall like flickering apparitions in a dream. The soundscape is vast and meditative, evoking solitude, weightlessness, and quiet reflection. Let yourself dissolve into the endless horizon, where silence hums with the voices of the past.

Wraithstorm

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.
