haiku #552: Stretching ahead - / the straight road, / loneliness.

The SoundCloud algorithm doesn't class this as 'music' so refuses to recommend it to potentially interested listeners lol! See what you think ...

Stretching ahead -
the straight road,
loneliness.

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.

Process notes

On 02 Aug, I recorded Polysynth in Bitwig for 20 minutes after building an interesting modulation system. 

In the very early hours of 03 Aug, I recorded a Eurorack modular performance for 14 minutes.

This piece uses short sections of both along as re-imagined in Ableton Live. 

Tools used - Bitwig, Bitwig Polysynth, Eurorack modules (Nonlinear Circuits Dos Osc, O_c, Temps Utiles, Braids, Behringer Abacus & Neutron), Zoom H6, Ableton Live & native devices.

This original version of "This Body Is Not Dry" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 552, Stretching Ahead.
