Dark And Light  (Naviarhaiku 482 )

started with sampling three old kitchen frypans and saucepans as gong sources - a then a whole lot of resynthesis, drawn filtering and  transposing-microtonal, major minor and pentatonic mappings and mess later -here we arrive in sombre monotony!

Dark and light buried truths will rise.

Dark and Light_buried truths. (Naviar Haiku 482)

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)

🎶 you just stand there

(Cinematic | Emotional | Orchestral)
Sometimes silence hurts more than words.
This piece was born from that very silence — the moment when love collapses, and the one you trusted most just stands there, watching you fall.
It’s not about revenge, it’s about realization.
When love dies, hate doesn’t destroy — it repairs what’s left of a broken soul.

A fragile piano carries the memory of warmth, while Bohemian violins cry softly between the shadows.
Her voice drifts through the fog — neither angel nor ghost — whispering what’s left of connection.
This is not a song of anger. It’s the echo of what remains when everything else is gone.

🎻 Production Notes
Lead lines use Virharmonic’s Bohemian Violin for feather-light bowing, intimate vibrato, and fluid legato phrasing — creating a breathing, human tone that weaves between sorrow and strength.
Abbey Road One forms the cinematic backbone, while Native Instruments Piano Noire shapes the emotional pulse.

Female vocals were rendered in ACE Studio, as no suitable singer was available in time.
Melody, phrasing, dynamics, and emotional design were all composed by me.
🎧 I care about real, honest music — composition, arrangement, performance design, mixing & mastering are entirely handcrafted.
No AI, no Suno, no Udio, no Mubert — everything you hear was created by me.

I believe AI should never replace the artist — it can assist, inspire, or speed up a process, but it should never define the creative vision.
When you hand over the full creation to AI, you surrender your growth as an artist and become dependent on a machine that doesn’t feel, dream, or doubt.
Real art is born from imperfection — from human emotion, not automation.
Stay real 🎶❤️🎶 
🖋️ Lyrics (English & German)

You were my fire,
now I’m cold in the light.
Between love and rage,
you fade out of sight.

Du warst mein Feuer,
jetzt frier ich im Licht.
Zwischen Liebe und Zorn
verblasst dein Gesicht.*

Your name’s a poison in my chest,
my heart’s a grave that never rests.
I hate you ‘cause I still need you,
and love just dies when it bleeds through.

Dein Name – ein Gift in meiner Brust,
mein Herz – ein Grab, das niemals ruht.
Ich hasse dich, weil ich dich noch brauch,
und Liebe stirbt, wenn sie hindurchblutet.*

I fall — you just stand there.
Broken — but still fair.
I scream — no one cares.
Love is dying, and hate repairs.

Ich fall — du stehst nur da.
Gebrochen — und doch so klar.
Ich schrei — und keiner hört.
Die Liebe stirbt, der Hass sie heilt.*

I wear your face under my skin,
burned and scarred where you’ve been.
Swore I’d never let you go —
but had to break you just to grow.

Ich trag dein Gesicht unter meiner Haut,
verbrannt, gezeichnet, wo du einst warst.
Ich schwor, dich nie gehen zu lassen —
doch ich brach dich, um zu wachsen.*

Everything in me — still pieces of you.
I see your ghost in everything I do.
If you can hear me, curse my name —
but don’t forget it.

Alles in mir — noch Splitter von dir.
Ich seh dein Gespenst in allem, was ich tu.
Wenn du mich hörst, verfluch meinen Namen —
doch vergiss ihn nie.*

When it’s done, it’s just stone and dust.
I hate you now — ‘cause I must.

Wenn alles vorbei ist, bleibt Stein und Staub.
Ich hasse dich jetzt — weil ich’s muss.
