Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun. If you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku: http://haikuguy.com/issa/

It has been pointed out to me that anyone relying on a scree reader can't see the haiku so I am including it here.

The majority of this track was created in virtual modular using VCV Rack. he drone/atmospheric elements were generated using Full Blotter - Very Large Grains Psychedelic Machine, the latest virtual instrument from Giorgio Sancristoforo, Pauls Stretch on steroids with lots of control. details here: https://www.giorgiosancristoforo.net

I also used a CC0 rain sample from Freesound:

just start over

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.
