naviarhaiku450 – A mountain village

A mountain village
under the piled-up snow
the sound of water.

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.”

Awakening - Naviarhaiku 451

This is my submission for the Disquiet Junto 0559 and the assignment was: Compose your personal entrance and exit cues for conference calls.
Well, I can't make it more personal than by using my own name, including my first two official initials, so that will be H.F. Lasschuit. And then I let myself be inspired by the musical signatures of Bach and Shostakovitch. H is the German name for the B, La is the French name for the A, the S becomes E flat (which we call Es). "Uit" is Dutch for "the end". So for my entrance tone I use the two initials, H and F, that become B and F with some nice delay and for the exit tone La, S, S, C, H and "uit" become A, E flat, E flat, C, B and there it stops: the end! I gave them a nice filter sweep and drenched them in reverb.

naviarhaiku456 – The spring sea

The spring sea:
all day long
undulating, undulating.

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.

Frozen dew gleams
Spiderwebs made stark
The cusp of winter

... building up fragments for Cafe Oto set on 7th December ... take a few seconds of @stellato-strings violin and let Paul and Pan stretch their stuff ... chosen by the magic of angel numbers and intuited numerology ... memory of the never ending awe I feel for Eliane Radigue's work (saw 'Sisters with Transistors' again this week) ... picture of Margate at night (not raining, but it does rain there, did this week) ... here's this week's response to the @naviar-records Haiku challenge ...

on a cold spring morn
the town is quiet

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 🥰
