Janice Doppler spent her writing energy on grant proposals and curriculum development during her career as a teacher and school administrator. Retiring enabled her to develop her creative self—carving realistic birds from wood and nature journaling.

Her heart was captured by haiku during a senior-center workshop that she attended on a whim. Her haiku and haibun have been widely published. She placed second in the Porad Haiku Award in 2021 and 2022. Her collection, Stardust, is available on Amazon. You can read samples of her work at The Poet Hub.

A solar day is defined as the time it takes for the Sun to return to the same position in the sky as observed from a fixed point on Earth. This rotation is the basis for the division of time into 24 hours, 60 minutes and 60 seconds.

Ein improvisierter Song, den wir auf einem Kölner Straßenfest gespielt haben. Trotz der nicht optimalen Tonqualität, hat der Track seinen Reiz./An improvised song we played at a Cologne street festival. Despite the less-than-ideal sound quality, the track has its charm.

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.
