On New Year’s Day  ( Naviarhaiku 417 )

naviarhaiku417 – on New Year’s Day

on New Year’s Day
lucky! lucky!
a pale blue sky

As customary, the final haiku of the year is by Kobayashi Issa. I just discovered New Year’s Day was the first day of spring in the old Japanese calendar, and it generally fell on February.

Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Issa was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun. If you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.

Happy New Year to all!

New Year Quartet (naviarhaiku417)

A track for Naviar Records Haiku challenge; seven days in which to create a track in response to the haiku posted. As the Haiku is about New year's day I thought it appropriate to write it on this day. For this piece I decided to do something different to my past Haiku challenges, with no brass or strings in this piece. A Piano and synth piece mainly based around Olafur Arnald's Stratus software. I decided to use a slightly dissonant key, reflecting the uncertainty of the world at the moment, whilst at the same time trying to give a more hopeful feel.

A kaleidoscope sea,
waves folding into triangles and circles
as if the ocean had learned to play with blocks. 
Above, the sun unravels into bright shards, 
scattering like toys in the sky. 
It feels joyful, almost innocent. 
Yet every color carries a hush. 
Summer is only tidying up its games before slipping quietly away.

Chapter 245 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of dreams and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

If you wish to take a dive into everything that has come before:
The TAFFETA Albums each contain 15 consecutive tracks and are available for free, exclusively on Bandcamp.

TAFFETA VOL. 16 will be available on 9/26, exclusively on Bandcamp.

TAFFETA | 245

Villagers whispered that when El Chalambra appeared, time bent sideways—clocks stuttered, rivers reversed, and memories no longer obeyed their owners. His presence was both omen and invitation: to step beyond the known map, to risk dissolving in the kaleidoscope of his gaze, and perhaps never return the same.

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 🥰
