‘fortuna’
Modular Eudemonism.
Track created in 2023.

Kairos is an ancient Greek philosophical concept. Unlike Chronos, which is linear time, Kairos can only be indicated by feeling: it is the ‘time of the opportune moment’. Kairos tells us, for example, when the artist should stop and let his work live its own life.

I would like to thank Marco for giving me this opportunity.

濁り水のたうつ冬の雪曇りここは地獄と独り言す火

Winter. Snowy cloudy. Muddy water rushed in from the ocean and swept everything away. At night, “This is hell,” someone said to himself, staring at the fire in the distance.

HAIKU MUSIC CHALLENGE

Naviarhaiku 562

Through a world of sound
the only filter I have
my discerning ear
 
Jason Richardson is a Leeton-based musician and poet who’s collaborated with Naviar many times over the last few years: in 2014 his music was part of the sound installation we made for the State of Origin exhibition in London. In 2017, Jason and I curated together the exhibition Crossing Streams in Narrandera. In 2021, I interviewed Jason as part of our series of online events, Naviar Virtual. You can listen to our interview on Naviar’s YouTube channel.

autumn wind...
I am stringing
a plain-wood bow

Kyorai was a Japanese haiku poet who first trained as a martial artist before he started writing and became one of Basho’s first disciples.

This is one of Kyorai's most famous poem, and one that Natsume Sōseki used as an example of great haiku poetry when teaching at a high school in Kumamoto.

A 'bit' conceptual this one ... You're hearing 1-bit sound at the beginning of the piece ... all the way up to 16-bits by the end ... Enjoy!

Fog clears away:
the waterfall shows up
bit by bit.
 
Undoubtedly one of the most important Japanese novelists in modern history, Natsume Sōseki began his career publishing haiku and renku poems in a number of newspapers and periodicals. Early in his career he met Masaoka Shiki, who encouraged him to become a writer and tutored him in the art of composing haiku.

Between 1900 and 1903 he studied at the UCL in London, but this proved to be quite a dramatic experience for the young Soseki. Despite this, when Soseki returned to Japan, he exploded into prolific writing activity.
