Naviar Broadcast #295 – Last bloom before autumn – Wednesday 29th November 2023

Winter sky–
Distant dreams
Shattered and flown away
(Tr. by John Stevens)
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.

Inspired by Marco's beautiful and touching haiku, this piece was born from a fascinating dialogue with the beta version of Qosmo's Neutone_Gen using the haiku text itself ... Enjoy!

What's a month for the sea
as the waves touch my feet
a shiver, endless

a month for the sea [naviarhaiku528]

A Shiver, Endless was inspired by the haiku by Marko.

What's a month for the sea
as the waves touch my feet
a shiver, endless

Marco is the creator of Naviar Records.  In his words, "Those were my first days travelling alone in Japan without Gosia and Zoe, so I wrote it thinking about the perception of time, and how much I missed them."

A Shiver, Endless was written for Trumpet, Bass Trumpet, Trombone, Bass Trombone, Vibraphone, Cymbals, Violin, Viola, Cello and String Bass.

A Shiver, Endless

Naviar is a music community and label. Through regular publications, open projects and events, we explore the connection between experimental music and traditional Japanese poetry.
