Naviar Haiku 316 inspired me to pursue a Bladerunner theme.  I did my best to write something worthy of the movie's soundtrack and in line with this goal is 18 tracks, all made with U-He Tyrell N6.

Over the years, this song has taken on other meanings, and often reminds me of scene, created in my mind by a passage in a Piers Anthony Xanth novel. The Brain Coral, a character in the 2nd Xanth book, Source of Magic, had the ability to suspend beings in its preservative fluids for eventual release later in history. To this point, the theme of the song has changed, in its video form, to a peek into the Brain Coral's underwater cave.

1st Time for Everything

From a Lighted Finite Vantage (NaviarHaiku316)

I'm a composer, working from a 3' x 5' studio (some may call it a dinette) in a 5th wheel camper, while traveling the United States. I've been on the road for six years, so most of my recent work will have come from a different state (of mind and location) during my travels.

Music makes me feel better about everything. I don't know that I'm ever happier than when I am creating. I sometimes wonder if creativity isn't one of the primary keys to happiness. Do you ever feel better than when you say, "Look what I did."? This phrase magically conjures the purest sense of childlike joy.

Music works for every part of our lives. We all have music for when we are sad, happy, celebrating, meeting others, when we are alone, and even when we are lonely. Did a song come to mind as you read each of those situations? I remember the first song I ever heard on the radio, on my first bus ride to kindergarten. One of my favorite musical memories is playing in a band for steel beach on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz.

I love telling stories with music. Everybody loves John Coffey in the Green Mile, but Mr. Jingles should have a song commemorating his reaching and joining the circus at Mouseville. If you agree, join me for this and similar journeys. The music here is synthetic, but as real as you would choose to have it.

My music most often lands on Soundcloud first and is inspired by one of my favorite communities, Naviar Haiku:

I find writing to a Haiku prompt sufficiently limiting and exquisitely inspiring.
