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.

Mindful Moment

Mindful Moment (Naviarhaiku223 – Meditation Class)

This week's Haiku is by our glorious leader, Marco Alessi :-) 
"Meditation class / the distant waterfall / suddenly closer" 

I have been playing with Mutable Instruments Clouds, and loaded in a sample of me saying the word 'haiku' (from the opening to the Resonance Extra radio Naviar radio show). I had some random madulation, and then played with the settings on Clouds in real time  to get some interesting 'chanting' and 'omm' sounds, playing around with this until I got some 'waterfall' type sounds in the quiet sections. At one stage, I swept the buffer fast enough that you can hear the actual sample in full, an accident, but it seems to work! :-)
