haiku #606: slightly faint / yet clear / the milky way

Fantasy Variations on a Wooden Peg
The creation of this work was drawn from composer's memory of childhood. When he was a child, while he was crying, suffering, or in a restless state, his mother would turn the wooden pegs(https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DHiu2gUKPZE8e-ree2Jg-02NfoqmVOyQ/view?usp=sharing) on the bed to create some sounds to attract his attention to let him calm down! The main function of wooden pegs installed on bed is to hang the clothes while sleeping. But if you use different strength to poke it or turn it in , it can make interesting sounds like birds chirping, doors squeezing, or even piercing screams. 
Based on this bedside memory, the composer recorded the sound of wooden peg on the 60-years old ancient bed. Just like his mother, he improvised on this installation, trying to create various possible sounds, even a sound art piece. Those recorded sonic clips were then manipulated through the technique similar to “developing variation” to work out all the possibilities of transformation of the material.The processed sounds were then “organized”(in E. Varèse’s word) or “digital micro-montaged”(in H. Vaggione’s word) to build up a musical composition with artistic interests which may bring endless and fantastic imagination to the listener.  
Fantasy Variations on a Wooden Peg was created and finished at the Sound Lab at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University(NYCU) in Taiwan on October of 2024.

oshio Kiyosaki (1922-1999) was a Japanese haiku poet and scholar of Japanese literature. He published a biography of Kyoshi Takahama in 1966 and co-authored Kyoshi Monogatari, another study on the renowned haiku poet, in 1979.

The Milky Way (amanogawa, or "Heavenly River" in Japanese) is a kigo for Autumn, mainly because that's when the galaxy is most visible in Japan.
