Knock, knock, knock – making up personal pictures is a steady inner dialogue. Wether wrong or right pictures come up – the studied movements reminds my of a well trained shadowboxer.

The theme and basis of this evening's "comprovisation" experiment were:
Light diacaustics, i.e. focal lines that are observed on the water surface 
can serve as the basis and source material for a number of sonification translations.
Light sensor and granular sampling meets analog synthesizer and white noise as second random element. A Reservoir of pre-produced Midi compositions complements this Improvisation..

Haiku by Takahama Kyoshi: https://www.gov-online.go.jp/eng/publicity/book/hlj/html/202210/202210_12_en.html

Takahama Kyoshi was a Japanese poet active during the Shōwa period of Japan. He was the editor of the haiku magazine Hototogisu (previously edited by Shiki), where he promoted a more traditional style of haiku, as opposed to other popular schools which did not follow the pattern of seventeen syllables at that time.

Kyoshi also highlighted the symbolic function of the kigo (the seasonal reference), even though the more modern trends were already tending towards seasonless haiku.
