Lazing In Shadows  ( Naviarhaiku 504 )

Lazing in shadows,
Conceding the drawing room
to moonrays

Natsume Seibi (1749-1816) was the son of a wealthy Edo rice broker and was acquainted with a number of other famous poets, including Oshima Ryota and Kobayashi Issa. In addition to his poetry, Seibi left behind a number of fine examples of haikai prose.

Lazing & conceding (naviarhaiku504)

Lazing in shadows,
Conceding the drawing room
to moonrays
-------------------

When I thought about this haiku, the 'drawing room' made me think  about the place I make music, my music room which I call the blue room as its painted blue.  But as it happens I'm shortly leaving this room so my partner can put her easel up in here and paint where the light (south facing room) is better and I'm moving my music stuff to the north facing side of the house - where I can make music in the gloom!    So this haiku to me seems to sum up my move to a different room in the house, perhaps a change of room will hopefully help my creativity!?

A Distant Memory

Personal winter interpretation of “Zanarkand” on solo piano with bells.
This is a tribute to composer Nobuo Uematsu, with whom I feel a musical soul connection; this music is pure medicine for me! I hope it also makes your long, dark winter evenings more bearable and showers your longing and sadness with a glittering cloud of magic!*****   Nobuo Uematsu composed the soundtrack for “Final Fantasy,” the famous video game series. 

persönliche Winterinterpretation von "Zanarkand"auf dem Klavier solo mit Glöckchen.
Dies ist ein Tribut an den Komponisten Nobuo Uematsu, mit dem ich eine musikalische Seelenverbindung fühle, diese Musik ist pure Medizin für mich! Ich hoffe, es macht auch eure langen, dunklen Winterabende erträglicher und überschüttet die Sehnsucht und Traurigkeit mit einer Glitzerwolke aus Magie!*****
