It's the half term school holidays in the UK this week, I'm sitting at home with two young kids and I read this email from Naviar for the Haiku challenge as it pops into my inbox.  I love the image this haiku creates. Outside my window at home we have tree branches that are winter bare. I was filming these the other day for another project. 
I had an idea for the music straight away - a 'bare' sort of sound to reflect the image of branches.  I started on this straight away. The kids are happy playing so I progressed and made this in about 2 hours.

Birds in a bare tree [naviarhaiku476]

It's That Age Old  Quest U R On

I'm digging a grave and I'm dying
Letting go and giving up
A being, immersed in shadows
Transforming into ashes

Can anybody hear me? 
Is there anyone there who can save me? 
God, I'm falling... 

Crawling around in stinking soil....
I've got mud up to my ears
My inner Gethsemane, my garden of thorns
God, what have I become? 

A change is coming
From the ashes, from the dust
A change is coming... 

Black is the star in the mirrors of my soul
Dark is the flame reflecting from the depths and it glows... 
In the dead of night... 


I travel into the unknown
I go into the night
Into a realm without no meaning
Into the space between two worlds

In a dream inside a dream
A lifetime in a drop of water
I was not the me, and he was not the man

Behind shadows behind veils, behind illusions knowing this to shall past
I was not the me, and he was not the man

A change is coming
From the ashes, from the dust
A change is coming... 

Black is the star in the mirrors of my soul
Dark is the flame reflecting from the depths and it burns... 
In the dead of night... 
I'm digging up my grave
In the cold dark night of the soul
I'm digging up my grave

Digging up my grave

Literature is a major influence on my music.  As a boy, in the 1960s, I read cowboy novels by Zane Grey (1872 - 1939), e.g. "Riders of the Purple Sage", but no other Westerns until recently.

In April 2023, I'd just finished reading "Butcher's Crossing" by John Williams, which spurred this composition. The novel is set mainly in Colorado and has many highly visual passages. This is one of them. A young man forgets to wear his improvised buffalo-hide eye slits (1870s tech) after a huge blizzard and temporarily loses his sight. His eyes don't recover for many hours, giving rise to much internal anguish as to what his life as a totally blind man might be thereafter.

The piece uses a blues scale to give that North American feel.

IMPENDING DOOM

Working on a new project where I think the music should be heard only via earbuds/headphones.   Experimental, drone, noise, unclassifiable.
Not ambient.   Not industrial.   But 100% me.

music for headphones (as yet untitled)

🜁 SESSION IX – Aer Memoriae drifts between worlds — a breath between ruin and light.
This ethereal chapter in the Arkanæa series is built from falsetto sighs, reversed chant fragments, and airy drones that dissolve like veils in sacred wind.

Field recordings of wind harps, glass harmonics, and mist-filled sanctuaries blend with ghostly reverb tails from past sessions, reimagined as vapor.
Here, memory is not recalled — it breathes.

⟐ Genre: Sacred Ambient • Ritual Dream Music • Ethereal Vocal Soundscape
⟐ Mood: Floating • Introspective • Timeless • Reverent
⟐ Instrumentation: Falsetto hums • Aeolian flute • Glass harmonica • Harp harmonics • Mist field recordings

Close your eyes. Feel the veil pass.
You are inside the air of memory.

I love listening to & creating ambient, dark ambient, avant-garde & experimental electronica (and the occasional beatscape). I have no professional aspirations  - I just really like creating music / manipulating sounds. It's my way of relaxing after a hard day at the office. All my tracks are produced using monitoring headphones (Audix A140) so I recommend that you listen to my music through headphones. My DAW of choice is FL Studio. I also use Reason every now & then. 


To the artists I follow; I do my best to try to listen to as many of your tracks as possible each night (I listen to each track all the way through - you went through the effort to create a track so you deserve to have it heard in full). If I miss a recent upload of yours, please forgive me...

Thank you for taking the time to visit my little corner of the soundcloud.

Naviar is a music community and label. Through regular publications, open projects and events, we explore the connection between experimental music and traditional Japanese poetry.
