Description:
A cold Southerly blows through the Port Hills,
A glider cuts through the updraught,
Nearby transmission tower,
On Sugarloaf hill
Speaks many tongues.

Wind swirls through the tower's structure,
it's voices echo in the valleys.
Electromagnetic messages spill out.

The tower takes on many identities.

The Twists And Turns Of Youth

oshio Kiyosaki (1922-1999) was a Japanese haiku poet and scholar of Japanese literature. He published a biography of Kyoshi Takahama in 1966 and co-authored Kyoshi Monogatari, another study on the renowned haiku poet, in 1979.

The Milky Way (amanogawa, or "Heavenly River" in Japanese) is a kigo for Autumn, mainly because that's when the galaxy is most visible in Japan.

When Im out walking in the countryside I often look up & see The Common Buzzard that as made an astonishing come back.
The "comeback" of the common buzzard refers to its successful recovery as the most common bird of prey in the UK, after being persecuted by gamekeepers and declining due to pesticide use in the mid-20th century. Legal protection and a reduction in pesticides have allowed populations to rebound, and they are now found almost everywhere in the country. This recovery is considered a major conservation success story. 
So back to the idea of the song which was recorded June 2024.
Crows pursue common buzzards a behavior called mobbing to defend their territory. By harassing the buzzard, the crows try to drive it away from their nest site, which is a common defense mechanism for many birds. 
I can never understand why the powerful buzzard just doesn’t turn and take the crow out with it’s incredible sharp talons. 
The idea I have linked to dating and trying to free yourself from the worst  brief two dates of your life yet she still persists in pursuing the third one.
Chasing you down just like the Crow with the Buzzard.
Hope this makes sense as my imagination always tries to think outside the box with lyrics.
Conscience Of Kings gives you ….

The Buzzard and the Crow 

V1
Just like the scratches you left down my back 
There a reminder of our brief past 
I turn my  talons to be a  lethal assassin 
ever time I looked up that never happened 

Chorus 
You are the crow
Me I am the buzzard 
Fly away from me
My brief lover x2
It’s time to let me go
Cause I am the  buzzard 
And you, you are the crow 

V2 
The first night we met the  warning signs were there 
Sharing platter not shared you  got tequilaed and fell of the chair 
I gave you the benefit of  first  date nerves 
I anit saying what happened second date was  absurd 

Chorus 

Lead break 

Outro 
The carrion crow 
who just won’t let go 
As I try and fly 
into the open sky
Your in pursuit 
following my route 
The buzzard and the crow 
Is there something that they know 
That’s me and that is you 
It’s over we’re done we’re  through

Welcome to my place of musical experiments and my endless journey of exploring new sound textures, rhythms and melodic ideas. I am a multi-instrumentalist coming from a background of having actively played, harmonica, recorder, piano, organ, clarinet, tin whistle, pan pipes, guitar, violin, Shakuhachi, jaw harp, didgeridoo and accordion. My genre is mostly a fusion of Jazz and Soundscape, however I often seek inspiration from a wide variety of music, Celtic, Rock, Heavy Metal, Classical, Folk, Micro-tonal, just to name a few. I also build my own instruments, various Shakuhachi using them either directly in recordings or sample the sounds to incorporate in pitch shifting tools in Ableton Live. I often set myself a music challenge, taking every day sounds not considered musical, sampling, transforming and moulding them into a virtual musical instrument. Experimenting with evolving polymeters is a favourite feature of my works. I have been classically trained but soon ventured into free improvisation, which is my happy place.

I am based on the South Island of New Zealand, enjoying the great outdoors there. I often take inspiration from this for my music and associated cover art.

I have a no cover’s policy, all my works being original compositions, the only exception would be the odd jazz interpretation of a Bach piece from the Baroque era. My percussion sections do not use any artificial intelligence drum machines, nor do I use auto tuners for my violin playing. Paid likes and plays — none of that either. 

I also participate in musical collaborations, from accepting sound samples to see what I can do with them, to instrumental collaborations. Send me a message if interested.

Please join me on this wonderful journey of music exploration.
