fun sounds, and great with the speeding up and slowing down, has given my cerebrum a mild workout

I read the haiku a few times and imagined a cloud of visibly cool air enveloping a warm lake, a tree and a heron. 

This original version of "Slouch Beneath The Tree With Me" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 576, Amongst The Rushes.

Amongst the rushes,
a stillness comes over us -
Heron in winter.

scorched earth (naviarhaiku582)

Not far from where I live there are a couple of signs like this. I took an electronic sequence created in Pure Data and combined it with its duplicate played in reverse with slightly less volume, the whole with various adjustments and some added reverb and delay.

Two Way Traffic with Priority (disquiet0688)

The “Quiet Zone” sign is one that I regularly see and adhere to during my commute into work, which is displayed on the upper decks of the “Go Train” that heads into Toronto. While most of the passengers comply with the request to keep their sonic level at a minimum, there are always those who seem blissfully ignorant. This was the case on my latest trip into town, where a young woman sat behind me and promptly started to engage in a cheerful and lively phone conversation for the entirety of the trip. I resisted the urge to scold her and instead got out my phone and hit record. The resultant recording was far too noisy to use in its original form, so I subjected it to various forms of granular synthesis in an attempt to mimic my own audio experience during my commute. This usually consists of an ambient soundscape sent to my headphones, which never seems to completely obscure the rumble of the train, the sound of the announcements, the rhythmic click clack of the tracks and the noises made by passengers ignoring the “quiet zone” message - all of which are rendered in a stylized form in this track. Everything you hear is derived from the four minute recording made during my trip.
