The assignment this week was to produce a song with as much silence as notes. I did not interpret silence as being total silence.

Naviarhaiku - Old Cold Stars

October 26, 2018.

I have lost my way
In a strange town at night, –
A sky of old cold stars.

~ Richard Wright

One of the most celebrated African-American novelists of the twentieth century, Richard Wright discovered haiku during the last eighteen months of his life (he died of heart attack in 1960, aged 52). In such a short time he wrote 4000 poems, and his posthumous book “Haiku: This Other World“ is a collection with 817 of his own favorite haiku.

His daughter Julia once said that haiku for Wright were “self-developed antidotes against illness, and that breaking down words into syllables matched the shortness of his breath.”

Strangetown, At Night (Naviar Haiku 251)

This page is for tracks made in response to Naviar Records weekly haiku challenges. I have been involved for years now.  Check out UNNECESSARY ENTERPRISES pages here on Soundcloud and also the collections at Bandcamp. This page "activated" in September, 2018.

Naviar is a music community and label. Through regular publications, open projects and events, we explore the connection between experimental music and traditional Japanese poetry.
