haiku #613: Star above the peak - / a silk worm-breeding village / silently asleep

Little song for Mizuhara Shuoshi haiku:
"Star above the peak -
a silk worm-breeding village
silently asleep."

Silk Peak (naviarhaiku613)

“Glissando” – an abstract orchestral–ambient soundscape with a cinematic edge.  
Blending real instruments and string samples, it evokes the mood of a modern trailer soundtrack: immersive, expansive, and atmospheric.

Star above the peak -
a silk worm-breeding village

Asleep [Naviar Haiku # 613]

Made for the haiku challenge 613 of Naviar records.

Star above the peak - a silk worm-breeding village silently asleep

by: Mizuhara Shuoshi

Mizuhara Shuoshi was a 20th century Japanese poet. Shuoshi rebelled against the principles of emotional detachment in haiku, which he thought limited his ability to emotionally express himself through poetry: he started a magazine called Staggerbush which focused on a more romantic, lyrical type of haiku.

Guided Levitation - against all odds (naviarhaiku613)

Guided Levitation is an ongoing selection of sound design works that emerged as a form of daily spiritual practice — a way to maintain balance within the volatility of my own mental landscape. The project began to take shape in the first half of 2025, amidst my grief over the passing of David Lynch — an artist whose work has long served as a beacon in the dark depths of the subconscious, where we, as artists, draw the imagery that becomes the foundation for expressions transcending our individual selves and ambitions.

Through art, these forms find new life — shaping and inspiring others, especially fellow artists. For David Lynch, music and sound design were essential aspects of creation. I share this belief, and thus I allow the music and sound pieces from Guided Levitation to be used freely in films and other creative works, provided proper credit is given.
