Even though afar
a feeling of coolness comes
from those mountain pines

Kagami Shikō was a Japanese poet, considered one of the ten outstanding disciples (Shōmon jittetsu 蕉門十哲) of Matsuo Bashō. He was in turn the master of the famous poetess Fukuda Chiyo-ni.

Originally from the present-day Gifu Prefecture, Kagami Shikō became a monk at Daichi-ji Temple, and in 1690 he became a pupil of Bashō, later accompanying him on some of his journeys and recording his last will in 1694.

After Basho's death, he kept travelling around Japan, writing several essays on haiku and collections of writings until his death in 1731.

Magic River - Improvised Piano Piece

This is composed solely of musical recordings of variable quality that I made during a tour of southern Spain in 2023;  a National Day event in the square in Madrid, a religious parade through the streets of in Granada, a Flamenco show in Seville and the organ (and ambience) of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. I made a rough assembly last year, disliked it and left it. I’ve warmed to it, a bit – it’s now framed by the flamenco school recorded in Seville. All have been slightly treated/enhanced to varying degrees during the mixing process.

You must see live flamenco before you die.

The Assignment: Finish something (musical) you started last year.

This project has just one step: finish something you started last year, likely a piece of music you left unfinished.

Recuerdos de España [disquiet0680]

Thoughts frozen in time
My mind was paralysed 
Animation flashing across my eyes
Searching peace in the calm of night
There was an empty space in a corner of my mind
I felt the need to fill it

I can give you all you give to me and more
With the healing of my love, you push at an open door
Take a breath to see the beauty, feel the rain on my face
And inner strength from the love of your warm embrace 

There’s no strength in anger
Kindness feeds the hunger
Lift the shroud of discontent
I don’t fight this alone
Troubles I don’t own are leaving me now
I’ve learned to love what I have, and what is all around

Catastrophize, memorize 
Imagination burnt out in overdrive 
I’m done with fighting problems 
And the madness I’d invite
My heart and mind is one 
I trust you with my life

Drifting in the shadows, I find a light inside
Whispers of the past, now a gentle guide
With each step forward, breaking chains that bind,
In the quiet moments, clarity to find

Let the storms rage on, I will stand my ground
In the warmth of your presence, my peace is found.
With every heartbeat, we’ll weave a tapestry,
A story of resistance, love’s sweet symphony

When the road grows weary, and the shadows start to creep
I’ll find resolve within, in the quiet deep
For every scar I carry, there’s wisdom it unfolds
Lessons from the journey,  the future starts to mould

Take Another Breath
