Sumomo (naviarhaiku602)

Man with a Movie Camera (excerpt) -Dziga Vertov 1929 - live sound in Timișoara, Ro

Sergiu Cătană - drums
Irinel Cârlan -saxophone
Emil Kindlein -guitar

Man with a Movie Camera (excerpt) - live sound

This first track of the album is the sonic artifact of a transatlantic creative process –  
where minimal piano becomes layered, textured abstraction.  
Born from improvisation, shaped through digital exchange.

Heavenly creatures
descending it seems –
the sea of spring

Matsunaga Teitoku (1571-1654) was an early haikai poet and founder of the Teimon school of poetry, which aimed to make haikai accessible to a wide audience while striving to make it a respectable literary form. A task ultimately accomplished by Bashō.

Seven days to make music in response to the assigned haiku: to participate, visit https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

Deadline: 17th February 2021
