Regarded as the father of contemporary haiku, Masaoka Shiki was a poet and literary critic during the Meiji period Japan.

He advocated realistic observation by “sketching” (shasei) poems and going out into nature with notebooks, thus abandoning the traditional subjects of haiku of the time. His advice for an aspiring poet was, “Use both imaginary pictures and real ones, but prefer the real ones.”

This is an audio-visual meditation on Salvador Dali's Metamorphosis of Narcissus; one of my absolute favourite paintings. Find out more about the painting at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamorphosis_of_Narcissus ... The haiku grew out of my playful collaboration with AI art and video tools. Watch the painting spring to life in various ways!!

Morikawa Kyoroku (1656-1715) studied with the great Basho for ten months, who was the one who chose his nickname Kyoroku because he excelled in all six (roku) art forms: calligraphy, painting, spear, sword, horse riding and haiku.

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0686: Catch Your Breath. The Assignment: Listen to yourself inhale and exhale; make music from what you sense.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0686 discussion thread on Lines:

Lately, I’ve been thinking of experimenting with music that could evoke the empty, transitional, surreal, and perhaps eerie aesthetics of liminal spaces. This week’s prompt about breathing seemed like it would make for an interesting soundscape if combined with that vibe. 

This was produced in Ableton Live 12 using Slate + Ash Spectres Multisample. Two tracks were created using a MIDI keyboard, with built-in effects. Additional atmospheric tracks were added from various field recording samples that were recorded last week.

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 🥰
