haiku #418: A machine gun, / the low moon, / round and resounding.

naviarhaiku402 – 
How cool cut hay smells
when carried through the farm gate
as the sun comes up

Nozawa Bonchō was a haikai poet and disciple of Basho who worked as a doctor in Kyoto. Later in life Bonchō distanced himself from Basho’s school and was imprisoned for a crime. He died in 1714.

For this track I made heavy use of Spitfire Audio's LABS Instruments: Soft Piano, Tape Orchestra Strings Flautando and Peel Guitar Ensemble. The field recordings in the background are from LABS' magnificent Tundra Atmos.

On the spring equinox
Clouds wander about
The entrance of a mountain temple.

A Machine Gun  (Naviarhaiku 418 )

Electronic sequence, sounds created in Pure Data.

Resounding (naviarhaiku418)

For Haiku 418 from Naviar Records I was blocked by the "machine gun"... As I didn't want to use any type of gun sounds an idea came to reverse the situation: I finally recorded some machine gun like firing, but those sounds act as signal for the side-chain that makes the tracks duck in volume. So instead of being loud they create gaps of silence, as if they were distant memories from the ear that are blocked by a traumatized brain.

Saitō Sanki (1900 – 1962) was a dentist who discovered his passion for haiku poetry in his mid-thirties, when his colleagues at the hospital in Soto Kanda convinced him to write a haiku for a collection. Later, he became one of the most important exponents of wartime haiku: he was imprisoned in 1940 during the government’s World War II persecution of controversial artists, and was officially forbidden to write until the end of the war.
