haiku #591: steady spring rains... / both dream and reality / Mount Yoshino!

steady spring rains...
both dream and reality
Mount Yoshino! 

Ōshima Ryōta was a Japanese poet of the Edo period. Some sources say he was a disciple of Yosa Buson, while others say his master was Hattori Ransetsu. He's mostly remembered for his essay “Bashō ku kai” 芭蕉句解 ('Study of Bashō's haiku') published in 1759, a magnum opus of his studies and literary theories on Matsuo Bashō's work.

The rain field recording felt inevitable as a starting point—once in place, the chimes followed naturally. Two measures of gentle drones and a few understated piano notes later, and the piece settled into a safe haven. Nothing more felt necessary.

Naviar haiku challenge 591, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

I've used rain samples a few times recently so decided to do something different and find another way to represent rain, the result is a bit abstract but that's OK it's part of the dream. Everything was created using Voltage Modular with the addition of GRFX from Imaginando to add an extra layer to the rain. As usual the track is the result of a single "Live" take.

drawing the light

Lied 7/2

October 20, 2025
I'm very messy, so I couldn't find it, but I did find a lot of other things. So don't ask me about it.

VERZWEIFELTE SUCHE

I'm primarily a visual artist both 2D and 3D, for the last decade I've operated almost exclusively in the digital 3D realm.   since the late 80s I've made periodic forays into the sonic world, MIDI sequencing, minimalism, musique concrète, found sounds  and improvisation. I am seldom happy with anything and seldom consider a piece finished.

Naviar is a music community and label. Through regular publications, open projects and events, we explore the connection between experimental music and traditional Japanese poetry.
