he got locked out of her garden
before this springtime's floral bloom
as he saw her soft glance harden
saw different patterns on her loom

he found some fallow, barren wasteland
on a hill of thistles, nettles
to cultivate defiant plants and
to get scarred by willful brambles

go feed on nettle seed
thistle oil and fibre weed
there is nothing else you need
nutrient rich and bittersweet

haggard, thin and somewhat healthy
his medicine was on demand
to overcome fatigue and palsy
when there is nothing left to want

go feed on nettle seed
thistle oil and fibre weed
there is nothing else you need
nutrient rich and bittersweet

sonic structures and silent stretches and well   -   nettle seed

“This space between French and English is, for me, a perpetual torment…”

Philosopher Alain Badiou reflects on Beckett — and on the strange torment of thinking and speaking across languages.

In this halF unusuaL piece, his voice becomes a sonic poem: shattered, dissolved, and reassembled through GRM Tools Atelier.

A tribute to Musique Concrète, to the friction of thought and sound, and to an uncertain space between sameness and otherness.

— created in GRM Tools Atelier

More experiments in sound, language, and philosophy coming soon.

Watch the whole lecture - Alain Badiou. Theater, Poetry and Philosophy. 2003 - at https://youtu.be/p6SmRlSqFrM?si=V8XQwU_yX5vcxJ2Y

meditation (Naviarhaiku 223)

played quietly on my twelve string guitar: representing a waterfall. gets louder throughout, bit frenetic, hard to get the sense of rushing water and meditation at the same time.

recorded on phone and just a bit of delay and reverb added
.

I’m quite sure this is the first time I share I haiku written by me.

In February I spent 10 days in Himachal Pradesh, a northern Indian state in the Himalayas, practising yoga 4 hours a day with my partner. Even though the yoga class was initially my idea, I soon realized that I lacked the flexibility (and patience) to enjoy it fully. We would start at 6,30AM with meditation, and that was my favourite part as sometimes, for a few moments, I was able to free my mind completely. In those rare occasions my senses were sharper, and after practicing for a few days I heard the sound of a waterfall, which I knew was in the village but I didn’t hear before. 

Seven days to make music in response to the assigned haiku: to participate visit http://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

Thank you all for your comments, because there is always room for improvement
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)
