Summer Remains (naviarhaiku404)

the intensity of heat and ice cold weather has something of the same effect.  The summer heat and icy ocean waters meet at sunset.  inspired by this Haiku by Natsume Soseki.                                                                                                           A red sun
Falls into the sea
What summer heat!

Languid Crystals of Heat and Ice(NaviarHaiku404)

Time moves in one direction, memory another. We are that strange species that constructs artifacts intended to counter the natural flow of forgetting.  ~  William Gibson

The flow of forgetting

This is the second ambient track I’ve made I find these tracks very relaxing to make so I hope you enjoy it.

Unfaithful Passion

Original Score inspired by the Tade Thompson novel Far from the light of Heaven

Dyson Elements - Dragonfly

Method: Overlays, inlays, outliers.
Narration: Imagine, we acted on earth hour as radically as the threat behind its creation really is. Imagine this was the moment, aliens chose to arrive. We humans live relatively long lives on some lightweight planet in a gravity-poor corner of this milky way. Time passes slowly along our whereabouts. What about light-riding aliens taking and losing an interest in us for exactly these reasons?
Note: Not enjoyable without good headphones.

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

let‘s turn around our light ships
the captain decided, we are too late, too late
the drop in radiation carrying earth‘s
rotational signature has lasted too long, too long
for five of the crew‘s lifetimes there‘d been
hope of resurgence, up until now, up until now

how would we be noticed
by slow-moving giants
how would we be talking 
to slow-thinking neurons
the philosopher pondered
as earth hour ended

earth hour

Earth Hour

Lake Michigan, Chicago Chess Pavilion.
In memory of Ron Washington.

Almost all tracks are free to download and covered by a Creative Commons license. Collaborations / Remixes are welcome so feel free to experiment - no need to get my permission first. Just send me a link to your track when you're done :)

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.
