he wrote sonnets for you

A reworking for this track in my archive originally created in autumn 2024, after a few versions in the last year i  find it fits well with the context of Haiku Music Challenge Naviarhaiku 617



an autumn nightfall
the skeleton of a huge fish
drawn back by the sea.

by: Saitō Sanki



Saitō Sanki (1900 – 1962) was a dentist who discovered his passion for haiku poetry in his mid-thirties, when his colleagues at the hospital in Soto Kanda convinced him to write a haiku for a collection. Later, he became one of the most important exponents of wartime haiku: he was imprisoned in 1940 during the government’s World War II persecution of controversial artists, and was officially forbidden to write until the end of the war.

an autumn nightfall (Naviarhaiku#617)

The Narcotic and the Sacred

In a world where flora evolved to think and remember, a lone being known as the Verdant ascended from the soil to commune with the orchid — the most ancient and sentient of all plants. The orchid was said to store echoes of every living creature that had ever inhaled its scent, a biological archive of consciousness itself. As the Verdant pressed its lips to the bloom, not to eat but to listen, memories poured into it like sunlight through glass — wars, love songs, storms, the sound of rain on extinct oceans.

I'm fortunate to live in a suburb that’s threaded with green spaces—seven parks in all, a couple of them protected nature reserves. Fifteen minutes from home is Sunnydale Park, almost certainly one of the last flood-mitigation projects to receive EU funding. When work began in 2019, it was little more than a few craters dotted between stands of trees—raw earth devoid of plant and bird life. But now it has settled into itself: a lush wetland, alive with waterfowl and divers, and home to a solitary egret. The air carries occasional rumbles from planes drifting to and from East Midlands Airport, and the distant, bright cries of children at the nearby primary school.

I made this afternoon's field recording using an Olympus Pearlcorder Microcassette S711.

 My latest track that I am currently working on. 

Early mix and I will be expanding it.

Please feel free to let me know what you think as it really helps.

I hope you enjoy it.

On my music external hard drive I have a folder called "No Home" where I put songs which I have never released, partly as they have never fitted in with any of my projects/albums or they just end up being standalone tunes...or I don't think they were any good...so I thought I might actually release some of them.....:)

This one is from 2013.

The Oxford Ambient Collective (OAC) is the solo musical alter-ego of David Smith, an artist who began his compositional journey in his early thirties using software such as Buzz, FL Studio and Reason. He has a  focus on a aesthetic of crafting immersive "ambient drones and ethereal soundscapes." Intentionally grounding his work in the history of the genre, Smith’s creative output reveals a clear artistic lineage, with albums like Berlin Vol. III acknowledging the "subtle German EM influences" and paying thematic homage to the pioneering Berlin School of electronic music. While deeply reverent to this historical lineage, Smith's methodology is aggressively contemporary, positioning him at the vanguard of mobile sound design by relying on a sophisticated suite of iOS applications to perform complex sonic morphing and generate his signature textures; his advanced workflow employs Soundscaper as an "experimental sound mini lab" for textural manipulation, with all audio professionally routed through the AUM mixer and hosting application. This innovative approach powered his self-proclaimed "proudest achievement"—a 90-minute live performance at Oxford's prestigious Ashmolean Museum, an opportunity secured through his affiliation with Oxford Brookes University as part of its 150th Anniversary celebrations. To solve the inherent challenge of engaging an audience with long-form ambient music, Smith transformed the event into an immersive audio-visual installation, pairing his soundscapes with curated visuals from sources like The Internet Archive to command "active listening." The project's visibility expanded significantly beyond this institutional context through a pivotal relationship with the independent Focussed Silence label, which was instrumental in securing national airplay on BBC 6 Music. This success highlights a versatile appeal, with OAC's work finding a home on highly experimental programs like A Duck in a Tree on Resonance FM—hosted by the influential group :zoviet * france:—as well as on sophisticated global platforms where his work was programmed alongside compositions by genre progenitors like Brian Eno and Vangelis. While OAC remains a solo endeavor at its core, Smith actively engages in digital collaboration with a network of sound artists like Encym via platforms such as SoundCloud, effectively transforming the solo project into a decentralized creative hub, thereby giving true meaning to the "Collective" in his moniker.
