Flying

Abstract ambient instrumental with a gentle pulse — playfully shifting between major and minor moods.
Layered synthesizers (10 tracks across 6 synths), all performed in real time — no sequencing, just hands-on, old-school playing.

Inspired by this haiku:

an autumn nightfall
the skeleton of a huge fish
drawn back by the sea.

— Saitō Sanki (1900–1962)

an autumn nightfall (Naviarhaiku 617)

Made for the haiku challenge 617 of Naviar records.

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.
