Travelling Home [NaviarHaiku481]

This is to share my creations and discover yours.

Those sounds we put together and call ''music'' mean everything to me.
Regardless of the style, genre, or cultural ethnicity, 
All these kinds of sounds have always occupied a huge part of my time, attention and listening.

''Music'' has followed me and been a companion in the happiest and through some of the absolute worst moments of my life.

I have been taught in a way, by every composer, conductor and otherwise musicians, bands and performers I have admired and spent so much time listening to over the years. 

My biggest influence is Karl Heinz Stockhausen, for his textures and sonorities the experimental concept from which his creations and sounds came to life, for his approach to performing and the thoroughness of detailing and documenting his works.
 
I began creating and recording my own ambient-experimental soundscapes 10 years ago with the discovery of software synthesizers and Digital Audio workshops. 
Thanks to Soundcloud, I can now share worldwide what I do and take a plunge into this vast network of ''music''. 

I use mostly orchestral instruments, but also a vast combination of ethnic and modern instruments, including synthesizers.

I use all kinds of sacred chants, ethnic voices, choirs. 
I routinely route instruments to sound processing, where the effect is an instrument.
I often use various sound sources.

Please feel free to share your track with me, I am always eager to discover:)
I am not big at reposting tracks, I find it a bit confusing, but necessary.
What I do is if you repost one of my tracks, I will repost you. 
When I repost you, I automatically tweet you also and share your track on other social media.
That way, we both contribute to the sharing of our works!

I'm a composer, working from a 3' x 5' studio (some may call it a dinette) in a 5th wheel camper, while traveling the United States. I've been on the road for six years, so most of my recent work will have come from a different state (of mind and location) during my travels.

Music makes me feel better about everything. I don't know that I'm ever happier than when I am creating. I sometimes wonder if creativity isn't one of the primary keys to happiness. Do you ever feel better than when you say, "Look what I did."? This phrase magically conjures the purest sense of childlike joy.

Music works for every part of our lives. We all have music for when we are sad, happy, celebrating, meeting others, when we are alone, and even when we are lonely. Did a song come to mind as you read each of those situations? I remember the first song I ever heard on the radio, on my first bus ride to kindergarten. One of my favorite musical memories is playing in a band for steel beach on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz.

I love telling stories with music. Everybody loves John Coffey in the Green Mile, but Mr. Jingles should have a song commemorating his reaching and joining the circus at Mouseville. If you agree, join me for this and similar journeys. The music here is synthetic, but as real as you would choose to have it.

My music most often lands on Soundcloud first and is inspired by one of my favorite communities, Naviar Haiku:

I find writing to a Haiku prompt sufficiently limiting and exquisitely inspiring.

Welcome to halF unusuaL, an evolving space inspired by play in the spirit of ‘hai’ (meaning “fun” or “unusual” in the word haiku). Here, improvisation connects the unexpected, mining the boundary between music and non-music to shape sound worlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity. Listen freely, explore deeply, and for the sounds to live for your eyes as well as your ears, please stop by the YouTube channel. Thank you for joining this journey! Your support helps keep this afloat ... and is HUGELY appreciated 🥰
