haiku #611: half-asleep eyes / open to a dreamlike world / of blossoms

w/ Daniel Craig

G4BF (Garmonbozia for Breakfast) prepares and serves distorted culinary recipes, nauseating food for humans, delicacies for demons. Every ingredient is good for making disgusting mush. Cooking is experimentation, isn't it?

G4BF is a multifaceted project, with variable personnel, by musicians Giorgio Alloatti and Paolo Possidente.

This haiku poem is part of the Naviar haiku music challenge, where artists are invited to make music in response to a weekly assigned haiku poem. Participation is free and there are no limitations in the songs’ length or genre.

You have seven days from the posting of this haiku to submit your track. For information on how to make a submission, visit the Naviar Haiku Music Challenge page.

Among the pines (naviarhaiku600)

The "one sentence that in some manner describes your artistic practice", step two of this week's Disquiet Junto brief, is as follows:

I make music to explore sound and the boundary of what is considered ‘music’ … and I use chance so that, in turn, sound can explore me through the process, as well as, at best, anyone else who listens. 

Perhaps ironically, the SoundCloud algorithm doesn't consider this track 'music' enough to recommend to potentially interested listeners ... so it might actually be worth a listen! 😁😜

Great to be contributing to Musikfestival Bern again with this exploration!

half-asleep eyes
open to a dreamlike world
of blossoms

Natsume Seibi (1749-1816) was the son of a wealthy Edo rice broker and was acquainted with a number of other famous poets, including Oshima Ryota and Kobayashi Issa. In addition to his poetry, Seibi left behind a number of fine examples of haikai prose. 

Haiku by Natsume Seibi

Notes from the Penguin Book of Haiku:

nebuki me o / hirakeba hana no / ukiyo kana

Ukiyo, the floating world of pleasure, specifically referred to the pleasure quarters with its various beautiful women (hana, literally ‘blossoms’) as well as to popular theatre and street spectacles.
