Happy Piano Day!

Impressionist piece inspired by the experience of free diving--wandering and peaceful with a tinge of anxiety in the back of the mind.

Some musical elements are borrowed from my album "Seven Dreams of the Orb Weaver" https://soundcloud.com/skai-eriksson/sets/seven-dreams-of-the-orb-weaver.

Some inspiration from Debussy may be heard in the shifting tonal center and more overtly with the pentatonic runs.

To convey the irregular undulations of the sea and the uneven activity level of freediving I fully indulged in tempo rubato--I think I ended up with tempo rubato e rotto :-)

I would like to thank Marco for giving me this opportunity.

濁り水のたうつ冬の雪曇りここは地獄と独り言す火

Winter. Snowy cloudy. Muddy water rushed in from the ocean and swept everything away. At night, “This is hell,” someone said to himself, staring at the fire in the distance.

HAIKU MUSIC CHALLENGE

Naviarhaiku 562

Through a world of sound
the only filter I have
my discerning ear
 
Jason Richardson is a Leeton-based musician and poet who’s collaborated with Naviar many times over the last few years: in 2014 his music was part of the sound installation we made for the State of Origin exhibition in London. In 2017, Jason and I curated together the exhibition Crossing Streams in Narrandera. In 2021, I interviewed Jason as part of our series of online events, Naviar Virtual. You can listen to our interview on Naviar’s YouTube channel.

HAIKU MUSIC CHALLENGE

Naviarhaiku 563

autumn wind...
I am stringing
a plain-wood bow

Kyorai was a Japanese haiku poet who first trained as a martial artist before he started writing and became one of Basho’s first disciples.

This is one of Kyorai's most famous poem, and one that Natsume Sōseki used as an example of great haiku poetry when teaching at a high school in Kumamoto.

„Geheimnisse“ – Lateinisch : „MYSTERIA“ (20.10.2024)

Um uns und in uns gibt es Geheimnisse. Denn das Leben ist selbst ist das größte Geheimnis. 
Im Grunde genommen suchen wir selbst stets nach dem Mysterium der Wahrheit.
Wir sind die Reisenden durch den Nebel vergangener Leben und Zeiten. 
Auf der Suche nach der Wahrheit, lassen wir unsere innere Wahrheit außer Acht. 
Eigentlich ist dies das größte Geheimnis was wir ergründen sollten.


Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"Secrets" - Latin: "MYSTERIA" (October 20, 2024)

There are secrets around us and within us. Because life itself is the greatest secret.
Basically, we ourselves are always searching for the mystery of truth.
We are the travelers through the mists of past lives and times.
In search of the truth, we ignore our inner truth.
Actually, this is the greatest secret that we should explore.

Thank you for your valued attention.
