haiku #594: caged bird / glaring with envious eyes / at butterflies!

caged bird
glaring with envious eyes
at butterflies!
 

Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828) was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun.

caged bird (Naviarhaiku 594)

'RETURN TO THE ROOFTOP' is the debut full length album from Boorloo (Perth) based composer, producer and sound artist Sleepthink (Ethan Reed). Sleepthink presents a deeply personal record that uses sound as a means of exploring the emotional aftermath of the suicide of a close friend and long time musical collaborator. Through the use of various synthesis techniques, sonic manipulation, field recordings and acoustic instrumentation, Sleepthink offers diverse soundscapes, emotionally potent melody and a range of unique textures across this work. Recorded and produced in his home studio, this 14-track record gives a deep insight into the creative process of the artist and his love of sonic textures, experimental recording techniques and emotionally dense music.
Recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by Ethan Reed (Sleepthink).

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 🥰

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.
