Marco Lucchi - Once full of life [Naviar Haiku # 512] w/Night Note

I was moved when I read this weeks Haiku from Naviars own Marco Sebastiano Alessi.
There was an idea in my head almost straight away, a repeating piano set to a echo delay effect that could potentially never end. Anf then the feeling of an empty house, an old distorted 78rpm record playing as if from a distance (of time?) and the feeling of a place of memory but now all gone.

If I was better at 'social' media' stuff, I'd be making a bigger fuss of this 1,000th upload! 🎉 

heaven and earth:
neither exists apart from

Kajiwara Hashin was born in 1864 and studied under Kyoshi. Although Hashin is not very well-known as a poet, this particular haiku that he wrote is quite popular worldwide: it was first translated by Miyamori Asataro and later by R. H. Blyth.

Neither exists apart  (naviarhaiku584)

After watching the wonderful TV series "In My Skin", I tried to compose a track to match this touching story. While playing the piano melody on my midi keyboard, I recorded the mechanical sounds of the keys using a smartphone and a dictaphone.
This recording approach was inspired by this week's Disquiet Junto project, but doesn't follow that prompt closely.
These recordings (treated with various effects) were mixed with the piano, and strings and synth sounds were added to the track, all to support the guiding emotion drawn from the story.

In My Skin - the Sound of Sound  (Disquiet0689)

programmed jazz beat, programmed upright bass, four takes of live improv piano, several samples from "silent hill: pt", metal tools foley, two layers of drone, scraped cymbal, and three return tracks of autochroma granular delay
