haiku #622: Under the burning sky - / a procession of ants, / without end.

Little song for Santoka Taneda haiku:
"Under the burning sky -
a procession of ants,
without end."
The title "Processó sota el cel" in English is "Procession under the sky".

Processó sota el cel (naviarhaiku622)

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.

Ant Procession Amplified (naviarhaiku622)

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.
