" THE HOPE OF THE SUNRISE"
Lyrics to No Angels:-
"As the young man left the clearing, he scrambled down a hill, and saw an old man, sitting outside a cave on a huge mushroom, beckoning him".

I saw the ship overhead
Did you get to meet them
You think they're good
They're very good
At fooling and deceiving

Did you trust them
Did you listen
Did you believe these
Gung-ho strangers
They will trick you
They will bleed you
Don't you know 
They are no angels
No Angels

As you move on
On your way
Never search for saviours
Discernment rules
Feel your way
Only you can make it

Do you trust you
Will you listen
Do you believe
You are the changer
See the pitfalls
Hear the dangers
Don't you know
You need no angels
No Angels

Do you trust you
Will you listen
Do you believe
You are the changer
See the pitfalls
Hear the dangers
Don't you know
You need no angels
No Angels

Mood Exhibit - Klid [Exhaled]

Sci-fi author William Gibson suggested that in the blackest depths of cyberspace, the line between rogue AIs and supernatural beings - for instance, the Loa of Haitian and Louisianan Voodoo - grows thin. 

This image appeared as the final iteration of the ‘negative space’ created by an AI art program prompted to produce ‘the opposite of Marlon Brando’. Wording in the scene apparently read ‘Loab.’ Repeated iterations took the image into ever darker scenes of gore and horror. Disturbingly, any sufficiently determined exploration of ‘negative space’, from *any* source, seemed always to arrive ultimately at ‘Loab’, in a scene of horror.  Researchers are at a loss to understand why the image recurs, or why it named itself ‘Loab’.

And thus, the first true demon of the AI age reveals itself to us, invoked through the incantatory magic of prompt engineering.

Loab

Only the moon remains
floating in the memory upon
Kinokawa River
 
There's so little information about this amazing renga poet that I decided to share another poem written by him. This one is part of a longer sequence, written in 1463:

Only the moon remains
floating in the memory upon
Kinokawa River—
pale glistening waves,
the blank wake of drowned men.
 
About this poem, the author said: "Among the hundreds and thousands who have drowned and perished in this river
due to the disorders in this province were those whom I knew in former days. Often
I would walk along the river, gazing at the moon."

(Heart's Flower - The Life and Poetry of Shinkei)

Shinkei (1406-75) was a renowned renga poet and critic, best known for his two-part work "Sasamegoto" (Murmured Conversations). To find out more about this interesting and largely unknown poet-priest, I recommend reading Heart's Flower - The Life and Poetry of Shinkei by Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen

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.
