SO happy that Naviar Records has chosen to run with one of my own haiku for this week's challenge! As you can no doubt hear ... I still very much ❤️ Sumu!! All the Madrona Labs plugins are such inspiring sonic creative genius! 👏🙏

halF unusuaL is "an evolving space inspired by play in the spirit of ‘hai’ (meaning “fun” or “unusual” in the word haiku). Here, improvisation connects the unexpected, mining the boundary between music and non-music to shape sound worlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity."

You can find Darren’s music on Soundcloud and Youtube, and check out his website to find out more about his publications and merchandise.

half-asleep eyes (Naviarhaiku 611)

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.

Admittedly, the extract from the still belies the line in this week's @naviar-records haiku poem challenge. The actual line is "half-asleep eyes", but we'll go with what's in the image. This week I've been collaging splice sounds and playing them live in Ableton, then drastically re-editing. I wanted to mix up how I'm making music. Break habits and form new.

The information about this week's challenge is here:

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.
