Made for the haiku challenge 617 of Naviar records.

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.

fish skeleton - Naviarhaiku617

The haiku prompt for this:

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

I have my field recording of the sea so I had a starting point; everything else was made with VCV Rack. I started with the sequences then added the synthetic waves, mixed with the real ones towards the end of the track. Wanting to keep the rest quite sparce and minimal I then made a simple chord sequence and a simple self generating melody.   

With a rough plan for the overall form I was going to follow I set up physical controls and multi track recording, hit record and mixed/modulated all the elements in one live take.

While the sea recording is my own it has been uploaded to freesound, find it here: Waves_on_a_Shingle_Beach by Mr_Lamppost -- https://freesound.org/s/800900/ -- License: Creative Commons 0 

Drawn Back By The Sea - (naviarhaiku - 617)

Little song for Kjmunro haiku:

"The harp player
moves under cover
market day."

"Mercat" is the word "Market" in my language. This is my market of my little island.

UN GAUCHO – solo bass

A simple, heartfelt solo bass piece — part of a series of intimate instrumental moments I play live or record at home for fun.
Five-string bass (high C), light effect pedals — just melody, warmth, and a great instrument.

Thanks for listening!

(almost) black (naviarhaiku619)

Little song for Kinsha haiku:
"Some starlight
spared from being scooped up
four-handed net."

The title “Llum recollida amb les mans" in my island language is like "Light gathered in the hands” trying to evoke the image of the haiku where light is harvested with a single gesture, as if it were a living substance. The literal translation of haiku takes on another meaning, and the words must be changed so that they have the same poetic meaning.

Llum recollida amb les mans(naviarhaiku620)

An electronic sequence created using Pure Data with additional reverb and delay to produce two  levels, one with prominent sharp sounds and the other a fuzzy background with the impression of increased distance.
