Like this. Very atmospheric. Something slightly “Dune-like” about the vocals (if they are vocals in the background), and the saw-edge of the dominant notes. Lovely.

haiku #577: Curve of time -/  a thought takes flight, / scent of a rose.

Curve of time -
a thought takes flight,
scent of a rose.

Vincenzo, aka El Wud, is an electronic musician from Naples, Italy.

A regular participant in our haiku music challenge, El Wud uses sound overlaps, causal collisions and cosmic echoes to create evocative soundscapes.

I translated Vincenzo's haiku from Italian, and made some minor variations. I hope you'll find it inspiring.

do androids smell electric roses? [ naviarhaiku577 ]

Recorded, mixed & mastered on 25 Jan 2025 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.

I read the haiku and imagined the smell of a rose and all the interesting places our memories can go to.  All sounds are native devices in Ableton Live, using my own presets/racks, all being played by multiple instances of a sequencer I put together in Max For Live with the help of Claude.ai. 

This original version of "No Drip" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 577, Curve Of Time.

Field of Memories is a deeply personal journey through time, capturing the essence of childhood innocence, life’s transitions, and the emotions woven into growing up. Each composition drifts like a warm breeze over an open field at dusk—calm, reflective, and filled with nostalgia. With delicate melodies and atmospheric soundscapes, this album invites you to sit in the stillness of the evening, letting memories unfold like distant echoes in the wind.

Field of Memories

Meet Me in My Dreams

The collaboration between Denis and Andrea began through a shared admiration for each other's music. Andrea first discovered Denis’ work and was immediately drawn to its nostalgic, dreamlike quality—like shimmering childhood memories preserved on tape. The emotional depth and analog warmth of his sound resonated deeply, inspiring her to reach out and connect.

What followed was an organic creative exchange. Working remotely, the two artists began trading sketches, gradually shaping them into fully formed compositions. Their process was instinctive and fluid, guided by a mutual understanding and a shared curiosity for sound exploration.

Above is the result of this collaboration—a five-track EP that weaves together delicate melodies, textured layers, and the tactile charm of analog instruments. The duo experimented with tonal shifts, ambient spaces, and randomized samplers, crafting a sonic landscape that feels both intimate and expansive.

The aesthetic of the release is rounded out by Denis’ analog photography, adding a visual dimension that echoes the warmth and timelessness of the music. Above invites listeners into a quiet world of reflection, where sound and memory gently intertwine.

Imbued in Composure

Some of you might recognised this release was dedicated to No Man`s Sky!

Participation mystique refers to the innate human connection to symbolic and imaginative experiences. This symbolic realm exists before or alongside our ability to think analytically or rationally. The idea is strongly linked to projection, as these symbolic or mythic elements naturally extend themselves into the world around us—into people, places, and things, just like how we unconsciously assign color to what we see.

Participation mystique is not just a psychological concept, but an aesthetic principle – a lens through which we perceive art as more than just something we observe; it becomes something inhabited.

In artistic terms, participation mystique can be thought of as a dissolving boundary between the self and the image. In this perspective, any manifestation of art can be perceived not just as an external object, but as an extension of the viewer’s unconscious. Colors, shapes, and atmosphere resonate with inner archetypes – mythical, primordial, emotional – before the mind can name them. This is why abstract compositions can seem hauntingly familiar, or why certain symbols – like a spiral, a doorway, or a shady forest – draw out something ancient, deep, and unconscious from us.

Distant Shores (Brannan Lane Remix)


Premiere : alyrik - Above The Bridge
(From Above the Bridge album)

Official release date: August 29th, 2025 

The EP features 5 ambient compositions: 4 new tracks and 1 remastered track originally recorded in 2009. The title track, Above The Bridge, is built upon a field recording made under a bridge in Wrocław, Poland. However, the crow featured in this track is not the same as the one in the artwork. The latter is a friend of my family, we feed her from time to time when we walk our dog, Kudzi.
