vernal seas…
all day long swelling, falling
swelling, falling
 
One of the four great haiku masters, Yosa Buson studied both Japanese and Chinese poetry. He was also an accomplished painter, and most of his poems were accompanied by paintings, resulting in a more diverse and individual set of works than the one by his main historical influence, Basho.

This haiku was translated by Adam L. Kern.

The third streaming release in February 2024! This track also pays homage to the highly unruly Octave Cat; my first ever synth in the 1980s ... Like s-c-r-at-cH, the rhythm track for s-cat-cH is also derived from the 'unintentional' noises inherent in playing vinyl records. If you missed the links on social, a 'scatch' is either an obsolete word for 'stilt' and also a name for the bit in a horse's bridle. That might also make the promos a little clearer! Enjoy!

Inspired by Marco's beautiful and touching haiku, this piece was born from a fascinating dialogue with the beta version of Qosmo's Neutone_Gen using the haiku text itself ... Enjoy!

What's a month for the sea
as the waves touch my feet
a shiver, endless

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 🥰
