This week's Naviar Haiku from Max St John, inspired by playing with his son on the beach: "In his eyes / sunlight glistens / the universe reflected"

For this, I imagined looking at the sparkling sun reflected in the child's eyes, and then getting drawn in and seeing there is more depth, and then drawn in further starting to see the child's universe opening up - all the memories had and those to come, overlapping in space and time... then a sudden jolt back to reality on the beach. 

I had the perfect sample of a child being extremely cute, a short snippet from a much longer recording of a park in Brussels (I was recording a violinist busking, but the brief noise made by the cute kid stole the show!). The beach was a recording I made in Brighton,  and the rest of the 'memories'  were raided from the last few years worth of field recordings, quite haphazardly overlaid with a few choice ones carefully placed for effect (like the swans flying overhead - an amazing sound!).  I didn't have as much time to work on this as I would have liked, otherwise all the samples might have been more carefully chosen and placed - but then a little aleatoric influence is not a bad thing.  

The shimmering synth is a BassStation2 playing an arpeggio of the Tristan chord, using a high pass filter to gradually add more lower frequencies, and the attack/decay/sustain constantly changing to adjust the type of sound from sharp points of light to smooth clouds of imagery.

My artistic vision is to evoke the mind into reality and help see the misty latent of life. elicit my journey into sound and find my landmarks. I'm a man who lives deep inside his dreams. trapped so deep, left to wake up thinking the dreams were real.

I don't see things normally, i tend to think right outside the box. Ever since i was young, I'd see people live there life's through fear and live by dogma. I want to show people life though every perspective possible. My journey in a short term, is to make you smile. 

The music inspired by the nature of man and what we are capable of. We can Destroy the most wonderful things and also create things so vast in beauty, it will bring a tear into the eyes of the universe. 

I have taken a very strong liking towards the film composing scene. Ascending the emotions through heaven to hell. To bring a tear into the eye. Recent influences consist of Hans Zimmer, Jóhann Jóhannsson and Life herself :)

namaste.
