Murakami Kijo was a contemporary of Masaoka Shiki. Born into a samurai family in a time of social transformation in Japan, Kijo lost most of his hearing at the age of 18, which compromised his studies and professional career.

Widowed young and struggling financially throughout his life, Kijo worked as a scribe to sustain his family. Eventually, he started being regularly featured in the Hototogisu magazine (curated by Kyoshi at the time) and became a distinguished haikuist.

My Own Shadow (naviarhaiku524)

A response to Disquiet Junto 0629: Puzzle Logic, a challenge to break an existing work into small pieces and reassemble it.

These pieces are so small, it's hard to see what they're supposed to be. You vaguely remember the picture on the box. Here, in the corner— a string? Is this part of a voice? What could the dark bit here be? You're tempted to check the picture on the box. This is definitely the bassline. And see how the— no, wait a minute, that's an edge piece. You don't want to look at the picture on the box. These have to come together somehow. Don't they? Don't they? Do not look at the picture on the box.

The original work was "St Anthony", which you can find on bandcamp: https://coralineada.bandcamp.com/track/st-anthony

Recorded and produced at NOSIGNAL Multimedia Labs, The Shambles, Chicago, IL USA.

Disquiet Junto

Hieronymus Box (disquiet0629)

number of items:
- two modules (marbles and beads) 
- or five modules (if you count mults)
- or sixteen patch cables
- or ...

usually the built in wavetable mode for beads annoys me by switching on unexpectedly, but here it's the main voice.

Inspired by Marco's beautiful and touching haiku, this piece was born from a fascinating dialogue with the beta version of Qosmo's Neutone_Gen using the haiku text itself ... Enjoy!

What's a month for the sea
as the waves touch my feet
a shiver, endless
