Built out of a short extract from an improvisation between @stellato-strings (violin) and myself (piano) there's some Audacity pitch change going on and I'm keeping this week's @naviar-records Haiku Challenge as sparse as possible, with organ stop shifting and very low growling Garageband string ensemble. The picture is from a sunset this week in Margate.

Widely regarded as one of the most important female haiku poets, Fukuda Chiyo-ni was a Japanese poet of the Edo period. She started writing haiku early in her childhood and was strongly influenced by Basho’s poetry (probably because her teachers were his students).

The fundamentals in Basho’s poetry include: sabi (detached loneliness), wabi (poverty of spirit), hosomi (slenderness, sparseness), shiori (tenderness), sokkyo (spontaneity), makoto (sincerity), fuga (elegance), karumi (simplicity), kyakkan byosha (objectivity), and shiZen to hitotsu ni naru (oneness with nature). Fukuda Chiyo-ni was particularly interested in the latter, since most of her poetry deals with the realm of nature.

My Piano and Me is a heartfelt journey through sound and silence, a quiet conversation between emotions and keys. Each piece captures a moment of introspection, memory, or gentle longing, woven into melodies that breathe and linger. Soft, sentimental, and soothing, this solo piano album invites listeners to step into a world of calm reflection, where every note is a whisper of something deeply personal.
