Seramind - Sun Kissing The Horizon (naviarhaiku496) [Ambient, Chillout, New Age]

naviarhaiku496 – mountain’s red leaves

mountain’s red leaves
the setting sun returns
to the sky



Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun. If you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.

From the Haiku Guy website:

“Literally, Issa says that the autumn foliage “returns the setting sun to the sky” (irihi wo sora e kaesu). Is he saying that the leaves on the mountain are so bright and red, the setting sun has returned to the sky?

Shinji Ogawa has also mulled over this haiku. He suggests that perhaps “the red leaves reflect the rays of the evening sun to the sky; that is why the sky glows so red.”

以下、アルバムについて。


「森と海がまじわるところ」

鬱蒼とした森の記憶を辿るように、レコーダーを手にし土と枯れ葉の小道を登る。
まず、その小高い森の中心と思われる場所で一度目の録音。
そして同じ場所でレコーダーのマイクを空に向け二度目の録音。
遠くに僅かに波音が聴こえた。

その音に誘われて、数日後、友人たちと森を抜け海に降り立つ。
岩場の潮溜りにハイドロフォンを落とす。
マイクを通して海中の音を聴くのはそれが初めてで、海の中から外の世界を見ているような気持ちになった。
小さな生き物たちの気配、波音と森のざわめきと
すべてがまじわるところに僕はいた。


※この録音を聴き返すうちに、10年前に三木葉苗が書いた「美の基準についての覚え書き」を思い出し読み返す。合わせて読んでももらえるといいなと思いこれを付属することにしました。

Structures (from the album "Essence Found")

First Snow of The Year" is the project of Belgium-based artist Erik Sevenans, who adopted this moniker in 2017 following his relocation to Munich, Germany. Whilst grappling with a foreign language and adjusting to his new environment, Erik found himself in the midst of an exceptionally cold winter that year. During this period of adaptation, he embarked on the creation of an album, delving into the exploration of ambient textures, a departure from his usual musical terrain. The album, born out of this experimental phase, coincided with the first snowfall of the year, thus being the reason for the project's distinctive name. Originally conceived as Erik's personal soundtrack for his daily subway commute while engrossed in Murakami novels, the project took on a life of its own.
 
In 2018, Erik made a conscious decision to turn this into an annual tradition, committing to record an album each year following the first snowfall. The raw essence of his second album served as the demo version for his release with Whitelabrecs, titled "Awakening of the Pines". The record drew inspiration from Munich's surroundings, the majestic Alps, the Isar river, and the nearby forest. During the challenges posed by the Covid-19 lockdowns and beyond, Erik experienced a surge in creative productivity. He dedicated time to refining his sound, experimenting with techniques, and applying newfound knowledge to both the development of fresh material and the enhancement of his existing body of work.
 
The writing of "Awakening of the Pines" involved diverse techniques and ideas, reflecting Erik's pursuit of discovery. The initial compositions varied in style, with some leaning towards a post-rock aesthetic and others embracing a more synth-based approach. Despite this diversity, the common thread binding the tracks on this record together was the inspiration from his surrounding environment alongside the novels he was reading at the time. Each piece retains its original character, preserving the essence of its initial spark, creating a cohesive yet eclectic album.
