Lazing In Shadows  ( Naviarhaiku 504 )

Lazing in shadows,
Conceding the drawing room
to moonrays

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.

Lazing & conceding (naviarhaiku504)

Lazing in shadows,
Conceding the drawing room
to moonrays
-------------------

When I thought about this haiku, the 'drawing room' made me think  about the place I make music, my music room which I call the blue room as its painted blue.  But as it happens I'm shortly leaving this room so my partner can put her easel up in here and paint where the light (south facing room) is better and I'm moving my music stuff to the north facing side of the house - where I can make music in the gloom!    So this haiku to me seems to sum up my move to a different room in the house, perhaps a change of room will hopefully help my creativity!?

Did you ever blow a dandelion clock

lets try

This [disquiet0621] assignment had me scrounging around for bits that had lain dormant on my HD, and when I found this it felt kind of incomplete and seemed to lend itself perfectly for enhancements of all kinds. I supplemented the existing welcoming major key guitar ideas with a healthy helping of fatty Jazz bass lines soaked in delays, plus clicks'n'cuts percussion & naughty machine beats to give it a bit of a kick.

Anyway, enjoy and be sure to gobble all of this up -- as we all know, leftovers often taste even better the next day, and I should think that that is certainly the case here.

This track came about over a period of time, adding little riffs of piano and finally, Simon creating an electronic 'ground'. It's a bit of a collage. I wondered if it was going to work at all. Now, I like it.

"The Final Chapter" unfolds over 4 minutes and 16 seconds of serene, immersive ambience. Soft, evolving textures drift like mist through a quiet soundscape, building a gentle sense of closure and reflection. Layers of airy pads and subtle drones create a warm yet spacious atmosphere, perfect for moments of meditation, focus, or emotional release. With its delicate dynamics and cinematic undertone, this piece feels like the last page of a long journey, both tranquil and bittersweet.

The final chapter

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.
