This week's haiku challenge:

Stretching ahead -
the straight road,
loneliness.

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.

Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

Haiku by Santoka Taneda

Submission deadline: 7th August 2024

For this, I started with a very casual absently-minded piano piece using  QuNexus, Noire Felt & Bitwig. I pulled a section of this for this Naviar Haiku and another section for this week’s Disquiet Junto. I moved an audio copy of this section to Ableton Live and added a dronish patch I put together in Vital. I added some Chow Tape Model to the piano track. That’s really it. 

This original version of "Trunk, Redeclared" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 561, stars on the pond…

stars on the pond...
again the pitter-pattering
freezing drizzle

by: Tachibana Hokushi

Tachibana Hokushi, whose real name was Tachibana Genjiro, was born in Kanazawa in 1665. Hokushi was one of Basho’s most famous students at the time, and he even accompanied the great master during part of his famous journey through the narrow roads of the North, from Kanazawa to Matsuoka.

„Fallende Rosenblätter“ (18.10.2025)

Mein kleiner, musikalischer Klangzyklus über Blumen geht weiter.

Fallende Rosenblätter 

Zarte Rosenblätter liegen auf dem kalten Marmorstein. 
Ist das alles was geblieben ist vom Leben. Ein Marmorstein mit Gravur und verwelkten gefallenen Rosenblättern.

Eine Blüte einer Rose bleibt nicht ewig.
So auch die Liebe wie das Leben.
Wie eine Knospe einzeln gewachsen, so welken und vergehen einzeln Momente wie Rosenblätter. 
Ob gelebt oder geliebt oder auch nicht.
Wir werden zu gefallenden Rosenblättern. 
Fallen aus dem Leben und in das Leben hinein.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"Falling Rose Petals" (October 18, 2025)

My small musical sound cycle about flowers continues.

Falling Rose Petals

Delicate rose petals lie on the cold marble stone.
Is this all that remains of life? A marble stone with an engraving and wilted fallen rose petals.

A rose blossom doesn't last forever.
So does love and life.
As a bud grows individually, so do individual moments wither and fade like rose petals.
Whether lived or loved or not.
We become fallen rose petals.
Falling from life and into life.

Thank you for your valued attention.

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)
