haiku #451: first light / losing the thread / of a dream

Hummingbird (naviarhaiku 449)

This is the final experiment I'm going to do using an Audacity cut up from the piano improvisation I did a few weeks back (thanks @stellato-strings for use of your lovely piano), and I'm still playing around with seeing what sounds I can maximise from the Garageband presets.

I'm creating material for a set by a canal bridge in Woodbridge for the Ambient Festival on 24th September: https://www.woodbridgeambientmusicfestival.com/#/saturday-floating/

All hail to the marvellous weekly Naviar Records Haiku challenge, details of this prompt below:

first light
losing the thread
of a dream

As a Nashville-born transplant to Rochester, New York, Taylor Wray has found short-form poetry to be the perfect antidote to the long, cold winters. Taylor is the author of two collections of haiku and senryū: WAITING FOR THE MOON and SINKING AND RESURFACING (both from Inspirebytes Omni Media).

For more of Taylor’s poetry, follow him on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook at @inthreelines, or visit https://linktr.ee/inthreelines.

Seven days to make music in response to the assigned haiku: to participate visit https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

This lovely haiku by Taylor Wray led me towards the Phrygian mode. My improvisation, in E Phrygian, is played on Babylon VST synth. Recorded and mixed in Reaper, with Frostbite2 added. Mastered with CloudBounce.

Falling leaves
deep in the forest
I see a buddha

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.

Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

Hidden Realm

An unsettling meditation on perception in the digital age. Through dark ambient textures, experimental pulses, and fragments of glitch and cinematic sound, Raw Cognition explores how human awareness burrows into the fabric of our hyperconnected society... restless, hungry, and never quite at ease.

In this world, the human body becomes a metaphor for our digital landscape, and the chigger... tiny, invasive, relentless, embodies human perception: feeding on the endless scroll of content, reacting to the invisible hum of online life, and leaving a lingering psychic itch.

Dig Deeper Little Chigger is a journey into the spaces where technology, isolation, and introspection collide.

Deeper Little Chigger #1

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.
