haiku #614: The coming of autumn / determined by / a red dragonfly

I recorded some toy glockenspiel on top of my telecaster. On the other track good old electric guitar feedback.

Tulppaanit

Will Pact

Hybrid orchestral soundscape, a simple E major chord progression played on both electronic and acoustic instruments:  4 synthesisers alternating with 4 bowed basses, 2 cellos and a violin.

Reflections on Shadows

When the authentic self seeks to create an environment set apart from the all pervasive false reality and narratives of these distorted times, it must do so without foundation or context, upon a tabula rasa, an arte povera, from nothing, and how better than through joyful aimless play with no intention other than to create and exist within the moment, through art and music and dance, away from symbols and language and meaning, away from expectation or reception, a creator with no audience or consumer, for the simple  fun of it. And it must be fun; if working hard and making effort are key to success or gaining respect then neither success or respect are important, one need not pass beyond gatekeepers for something as worthless as approval. There are no bad paintings. Want for nothing other than to know the people sing even if you hate their song. Smile at their terrible dancing, then dance yourself.

SQRIA is like all my other recordings in that it is made live only with small cheap synth boxes (Korg Volca (Sample1, FM1, Modular, Kick), Korg NTS1, Korg SQ1, Bastl Kastle (1.5, Drum and ARP)) - no daw or complex programming - just some forethought/intention and the generation of a suitable playspace - then recording what happens as I move things about. SQRIA is different in that each track is originally hours long and then edited down to something near 20 minutes.

The coming of autumn
determined
by a red dragonfly

Kaya Shirao was born in 1738 in Fukagawa, Edo, now part of Tokyo.

He ran a school in Edo during Spring and Autumn, but in Summer and Winter, he would move to the countryside to teach thousands of aspiring poets from throughout the Shinano province (now Nagano Prefecture). He's considered one of the first established haikai writers to help spread cultural forms from national to regional urban centers.

The coming of autumn (Naviarhaiku 614)

A four-minute ambient journey built from four evolving one-minute drones — each exploring a distinct emotional landscape.
Major to minor, light to dark, tension to abstraction:

00:00 – 01:00 → Luminous, joyful
01:00 – 02:00 → Dark, melancholic
02:00 – 03:00 → Anxious, tense
03:00 – 04:00 → Abstract, strange

Synthesizers and acoustic instruments blend seamlessly to create a warm, organic soundscape — bowed upright bass, harmonica, harmonium, and Tibetan bowls intertwine in a meditative yet cinematic flow.
Perfect for moments of reflection, atmosphere, and deep listening.
