A quiet cabin;
hunting milkcaps, I was soon
lost among the pines

Kagami Shikō was a Japanese poet, considered one of the ten outstanding disciples (Shōmon jittetsu 蕉門十哲) of Matsuo Bashō. He was in turn the master of the famous poetess Fukuda Chiyo-ni.

Originally from the present-day Gifu Prefecture, Kagami Shikō became a monk at Daichi-ji Temple, and in 1690 he became a pupil of Bashō, later accompanying him on some of his journeys and recording his last will in 1694.

After Basho's death, he kept travelling around Japan, writing several essays on haiku and collections of writings until his death in 1731.

A quiet cabin; (Naviarhaiku 624)

here and there 12.16.25

Little song for Kagami Shikō haiku:
"A quiet cabin;
hunting milkcaps, I was soon
lost among the pines"

In my language "Perdut entre la cabana" Little experiments only hardware soundscapes.

Lost among the cabin (naviarhaiku624)

Warm Windows

A quietly epic, all-acoustic instrumental in 7/4, built around some simple melodic ideas voiced across ukuleles, acoustic guitars, and acoustic bass—exploring phrasing, articulation, and rhythmic displacement rather than repetition.

Fingerpicked and slide guitar lines intertwine with a grounded bass pulse and muted, organic percussion, creating a sense of forward motion that feels both playful and stubborn, light yet quietly profound.

The piece leans toward acoustic post-rock and organic prog, with cinematic, travel-adventure overtones and a strong melodic focus.

Instruments played:

Kala ukulele
Martin acoustic guitar
L’arrivée acoustic bass
Assorted percussion (including hitting my Spanish guitar w/mallets , doumbek and pezuñas)

Composed and performed by Daniel Diaz, December 2025

Inspired by the haiku:
A quiet cabin;
hunting milkcaps, I was soon
lost among the pines
— Kagami Shikō

I am still looking, trying and experimenting, I really like electronic ambient for many years, but it only works as a live percussionist. In short, nothing is black or white:)
In today's hectic world I need quiet sounds and the vast majority of songs created at night, so are my compositions such as they are.

My tracks is based on the absolute freedom of the use of sound. Arises as if I painted a picture. In the head is the base, and then adding the details here and there.
As well as if I were his music told the story.

I use: Ableton-Live-Suite with Partnerinstrumets, Kontakt Player + virtual instrumentzs,NI-Machine, Ableton Push, Acces Virus TI Snow, Waldorf Blofeld, AKAI MPK 49, Korg Microkorg XL+,KORG Kaossilator,Kaosspad,KORG Wavedrum, Roland HPD 20, nord lead A1 r, Yamaha mx49, Roland Edirol for Fieldrecordings - and various live percussion.(Kalimba, frame drum, tombak, koshi etc)
