This original version of "Never Burn" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 584, Heaven And Earth

heaven and earth:
neither exists apart from
snow fluttering down

by: Kajiwara Hashin

Kajiwara Hashin was born in 1864 and studied under Kyoshi. Although Hashin is not very well-known as a poet, this particular haiku that he wrote is quite popular worldwide: it was first translated by Miyamori Asataro and later by R. H. Blyth.

Never Burn (naviarhaiku584)

My track notes regarding the creation of this track can be found here: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0692-combust-a-move/71387/7

**Disquiet Junto Project 0692: Combust a Move**  
The Assignment: Make music using fire for the rhythm track.

There is just one step for this project: Record a piece of music in which the sound of fire — match, burner, cigarette, etc. — provides the primary source for the rhythmic track.

Created by DD in the morning of Friday  April 11th in Paris, Jazz ballad inspired on the lovely "First Song (for Ruth)  by Charlie Haden, following the instructions provided on this challenge:
https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0693-melody-sorted/

Step 1: Choose a familiar song for which you have access to the sheet music.

Step 2: Select a segment of the song, perhaps one round of the chorus and the verse — perhaps more, or less, after you finish reading these instructions.

Step 3: Write down all the notes (and their lengths) in the main melodic line.

Step 4: Alphabetize the notes, and also sort them by length, in ascending order, so an Ab goes before an A, and a quarter note goes before a whole note, and so forth. (You might also adjust for where the note falls relative to middle C, starting low and proceeding up.)

Step 5: Record results when all those notes are played in the sequence that was derived during Step 4.

Today's pure primal piano music here. Happy if this music makes you feel peaceful.. : )

Looking for absolute natural beauty every day for Piano Ten Thousand Leaves. Target number is 4536:
This piece may might have good 1/f fluctuation characteristic although I stopped investigating it each piece.

######## Latest Album: 29th SELECTION ALBUM JUST RELEASED ########
"shin Clair De Lune" - the 29th selection album of piano ten thousand leaves

The best song in the last few years, Shin Clair De Lune, was born, so I named the album after it. The opening song is that song.

autumn suns smiling at eve upon the quiet sheaves - #4148 (91R45 388) by chair house 250423

Phew! Thankfully this track didn't pass muster with the SoundCloud algorithm ... and so won't be recommended to potentially interested listeners ... Always a signal that something is probably worth a listen! 😁

This project is the first of three that are being done by the Disquiet Junto in collaboration with the 2025 Musikfestival Bern, which will be held in Switzerland from September 3 through 7. The festival topic this year is « Kette » — which translates, as the organization explains, to “Chain”: “Chains connect but they also bind. They create relationships but also restrictions. As a gift they look nice, feared when used in vice, and yet they can span bridges across fire and ice.” All three Junto projects will engage with the work of Svetlana Maraš, who is the Composer-in-Residence for the 2025 festival.

Disquiet Junto Project 0698: Second Third
The Assignment: Record the second third of a trio.

For the second track, I worked with a solo that no one else had used. I liked https://soundcloud.com/meccaniche-del-suono/first-tongue-ram-disquiet0697?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0697 by Meccaniche del Suono, because it somehow talked to me and seemed wonderfully inaccessible. Something I would fail at.

I added more layers of strings and flutes, some electronics and some ambience. I did all this by what felt right, hence the title, which may of course be a mistake. Thanks to Meccaniche del Suono / Marco Marongiu for his track!

No total left-right-panning HERE, because I can't stand it. If you want to have one, download it THERE: https://soundcloud.com/winterer/panned-do-the-right-thing

Do The Right Thing (Meccaniche del Suono + Krakenkraft) [disquiet0698]

My first junto project- disquiet0698. Adding the 2nd part of a trio (right channel), to Alan Blip's- B-Drone starter (left channel) .  
You are hearing some shortwave recording of military weather reports, and what is (allegedly) a Russian diplomatic service transmission (time-stretched), bad violin playing and the sound of wind in the trees of my garden. Kinda concerned I've packed too much in here, but hope there's space for someone to add something more in part 3. It's been fun- thanks Alan Blip & Junto crew for the provocation :)

Sound Ripples is a sound installation by Marco Sebastiano Alessi, created for the Sapporo Tenjinyama Art Studio. Inspired by the cultural legacy of the Ainu people, Alessi and members of the online music community Naviar Records reflected on the roots of their own local traditions, and created sounds inspired by the landscapes and stories of their respective environments.
Combining field recordings from across Japan, ambient compositions by Naviar Records’ community, and sounds captured during Alessi’s time in Sapporo, this installation invites listeners to experience sound as a vessel of memory, transmission, and transformation.
This immersive experience aims to highlight the importance of music as a connector that brings cultures into dialogue: a medium that transcends space and time to build bridges between distant communities.

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 🥰
