haiku #555/ they spoke no words / the visitor, the host / and the white chrysanthemum

HAIKU MUSIC CHALLENGE

Naviarhaiku 555

they spoke no words
the visitor, the host
and the white chrysanthemum

For this week's challenge, I picked another poem by Ōshima.

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.

They Spoke No Words ( Naviarhaiku 555 )

An electronic composition, original sounds created in Pure Data.

A bit of a combination for this one, all the sound sources were created from a multi channel virtual modular patch using VCV Rack. Some recorded as is while others were by design directed to external processes. Once everything was set up; multi channel recording and mapped physical controls, the track was recorded in one "Live"! take and remains unchanged other than some minor mattering adjustments.

Helena Kirche

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.
