How many songs will I write for my mother... at least one more. 

I originally recorded a demo version of this song just two months after she died. Here is the original.

Lyrics:

I wanna know
Where did she go
I wanna know

I wanna know
Where did she go
I wanna know

Is it in the trees
Blowing in the breeze
I wanna know

Is it on the page
Where her eyes last laid
I wanna know 

Mother mother mother 
Take me
To your place
Of endless rest

Mother mother mother mother
Break me
Put me
To the ultimate test

I wanna know
Where did she go
I wanna know

I wanna know
Where did she go
I wanna know

Birds flying high
High in the sky
Oh why
I wanna know

Our volition is limiting most of the time, because it forces us into habitual emotional paths and musical patterns. Mechanical improvisation can be used to counteract this volition.

Number 1 was written by me, number 2 is written by Chat GPT. It would be interesting, which one you prefer.
Poem 2:
I love you, because you let me talk to the silence.
You don't disturb the stillness,
You don't fill the air with empty words.
You let the quiet be,
You let me breathe in the calm.

In the hush, I feel you,
Though you are far away.
Your presence is a whisper,
Soft but strong, a steady pulse
In the expanse of distance.

I love you, because you understand
That silence is not absence,
But a space where our souls meet,
A realm beyond the reach of miles,
A sanctuary for our unspoken truths.

You are far, yet you are here,
In the pauses between my thoughts,
In the quiet moments of the night,
In the stillness of the dawn,
You reside within me.

Your absence is a presence,
A tender ache that I cherish,
A gentle reminder of the depth
Of our connection, of the bond
That distance cannot sever.

I love you, because you honor
The silence, the space where
We commune without words,
Where our spirits intertwine
In an embrace that spans the stars.

You are my faraway near,
My distant close,
The one who listens
To the language of my heart,
In the silent symphony we share.

You Don't Disturb The Silence2

The SoundCloud algorithm doesn't class this as 'music' so refuses to recommend it to potentially interested listeners lol! See what you think ...

Stretching ahead -
the straight road,
loneliness.

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.

Welcome to halF unusuaL, an evolving space inspired by play in the spirit of ‘hai’ (meaning “fun” or “unusual” in the word haiku). Here, improvisation connects the unexpected, mining the boundary between music and non-music to shape sound worlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity. Listen freely, explore deeply, and for the sounds to live for your eyes as well as your ears, please stop by the YouTube channel. Thank you for joining this journey! Your support helps keep this afloat ... and is HUGELY appreciated 🥰
