The rain is over:
South Mountain puffs out
Spring clouds.

(Tr. Sōiku Shigematsu)

One of the most influencial modern Japanese writers, Natsume Soseki’s literary career started in 1903, with a series of haiku and renga published on various literary magazines. Between 1900 and 1903 he studied at the UCL in London, but this proved to be quite a dramatic experience for the young Soseki:

“The two years I spent in London were the most unpleasant years in my life. Among English gentlemen I lived in misery, like a poor dog that had strayed among a pack of wolves.“

Despite this, when Soseki returned to Japan he exploded into prolific writing activity.

Tension (naviarhaiku485)

"I think someone is trying to drive you crazy before finally killing you."

A tribute to an early work by the master of Giallo, Dario Argento. Long on style, short on logic, the movie is a twisted tale of murder. The original score by Morricone naturally sets a very high bar, and I am confident I might, with luck, one day manage to limbo under it. In the meantime: my own poor alternative take… Made & mixed live in AUM on IPad, using Hilda, Sopranotron, Speldosa, et al. Sequencing by midiDreams. No keyboards harmed during making of the piece.

Naviar haiku challenge 604, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

A couple of relatively simple elements combined with an experimental layer using several stages of granular processing. All the basic components were made with Voltage Modular plus some additional granular processing using GRFX from Imaginando. Mixed and manipulated in a single "Live" improvised take.
