I just cannot get enough of organ stops. Ever! This is this weeks' response to this week's Naviar Haiku Challenge. It was starting to faintly drizzle when I went out and took this picture earlier in St James' Park. A lot of my phone photos seem to be of Buckingham Palace at the moment.

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.

Without a voice_Naviarhaiku459

I took a few seconds from something I was listening to and stretched it out to this length. Then it was duplicated. Using Sliding Stretch, one track was made to drop an octave over its length; the other to rise an octave. So, by the end they are 2 octaves apart. End of experiment  (with an enhanced mix of both tracks added and down-pitched an octave, of course).

Minimal, textural drones — emotionally resonant yet contemplative — capture the fragile beauty of morning light and the quiet promise of renewal.
