haiku #425: Looking, not seeing – / Suddenly I realise / Spring buds unfolding.

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 nameless mountain

Ryōkan Taigu was a Japanese poet and calligrapher who lived during the Edo period. A Buddhist monk who lived much of his life as a hermit, he spent most of his time writing poetry, calligraphy, and communing with nature. His poetry is often very simple and inspired by nature.

Looking, Not Seeing  ( Naviarhaiku 425 )

A live electronic sequence created in Pure Data.

Spring Buds (naviarhaiku425)

For this week's naviar haiku I tried the VSTs Noises and Wires by Audiothing / Hainbach. Adds some warmth to my sound textures. Ridiculously great plugins.

Looking, not seeing [naviarhaiku425]

This is a recycled improvisation that I did a while ago. It seems to suit my haiku for this week. It's played on a six-string fretless bass, with some effects added. Recorded and mixed in Reaper. Mastered with CloudBounce.
