haiku #588: The past, immutable - / an icicle stabs / directly downward

The past, immutable -
an icicle stabs
directly downward
 

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.

#4196 92.50% 340 left): Jun. 10, 2025: And softly make a rosy peace (again, William Butler Yeats from May 22, 2025) 

So gently does the mind risk forgetting to embrace the rosy peace of dawn.

In “and softly make a rosy peace,” Chair House blends into the morning’s pale light, painting tranquility in soft sonic hues. A dewy, lingering touch evokes the scent of petals, kindling a quiet celebration within. On the drizzly dawn of 250518, this improvisation strikes the perfect balance of calm and tender nostalgia.

and softly make a rosy peace - #4196 (92R50 percent 340 left) by chair house 250610

The Mongol Princess is a conceptual EP/soundtrack Mood Exhibit released in July 2017.
moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/the-mongol-princess

It is an audio story of a young, beautiful, and kind princess that died tragically by disease at an early age. The music reflected her stages of life with emotion and textures of various ethnic and acoustic instruments. It remains my most passionate musical project.

This EP is a document of her return; in spirit form, as a legend. These tracks retain the same feel as the original, but with a more grandiose and mystical flavor, and mixed minor electronics.

https://moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/the-return-of-the-mongol-princess

I had asked fellow electronic artist Belial Pelegrim to collaborate on 2 tracks for this EP. These 2 tracks showcase his brilliant production and vision, fitting perfectly to the mythology of The Princess.

Summer is marked by certain experiences, from swimming, to strolls along boardwalks, to...well...waiting in queues of all kinds as summer sees people fill outdoor spaces. Keith has a keen eye for observing these experiences and finding humour and stories in  all of it.

Welcoming our special guest voice - Sheila - the server at the window , whose calming, inquiring presence makes the  lineup tolerable ;)

Note: the term "poutine" on the side of the chip truck makes this a uniquely Canadian flavour  :)

Track 5 from the Wigmore Allen Gibbons album called SHYLING found at https://www.terrywigmore.com/wigmore-allen-gibbons

Busy at the Chippy

    I was standing in the queue 
    And there was more than quite a few
    That to be … perfectly blunt
    Wanted to murder the guy…the guy at the front
    
   5  cod and chips…3 fries with garlic dips
    A lamb shish kabab…and a happy meal for that bugger at the back”
    It was busy at the Chippy…so busy at the Chippy
    It was busy at the Chippy…Ooh baby tonight

    Well I kept on standing there
    Feeling hungry right in there
    When I could be doing something…
    Something much better on a Saturday night. 
    Than waiting for…

    5 cod and chips…3 fries with garlic dips
    A lamb shish kabab…and a happy meal for that bugger at the back”
    Chippy woman: “We don’t do salad…Do’ya want salt ‘n vinegar on them love?
    How’s your Mary’s feet? … Oooooh, I know”

    (INST)

    (CHORUS)
    “…oh and I want 4 scampi and salad…5 haddock lightly battered
    3 sausages in a lovely curry…and a happy meal for that bugger in a hurry”
    Chippy woman: “That’ll be £226 and 10p for a carrier bag, love! ...
    Will ya need that in dollars pet?”

Vertigo

Created as a response to:

insect tremolo
soberingly cools the heat
of farmland roads

Naviar haiku challenge 603, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Created using Voltage Modular and a lot of crickets from freesound. 

The synth elements are quite minimal and all driven semi-randomly, there's a fair amount of subtle random modulation built into each element so the final track, while a live take was mostly a mix with only a few other controls.

All the cricket samples were CC0, I'll add attribution and links when I work out which ones I actually used. :)
