Deep in the Full White Night - naviarhaiku618

Made for the haiku challenge 622 of Naviar records.

Under the burning sky -
a procession of ants,
without end.

Haiku by Santoka Taneda

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.

Under the burning sky - (Naviarhaiku 622)

This is another in my continuing obsessive series of making small piano miniatures. By focussing in on just one word in this week's @naviar-records haiku challenge, I'm also keeping the parameters of the composition tiny too: two piano lines that makes for a very simple piece to play.

The only changes I use Logic to make are the velocities of individual notes, and using the valve mastering preset.

Here's information about this week's @naviar-records haiku challenge:

The piece's title "Without" is taken from this haiku by Santoka Taneda

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.
