Lost on the way to anywhere

This assignment fitted with the track I was working on at the time, a single-take improv on a recent Naviar Haiku Challenge track. I simply added some reverb to mask a couple of misjudged moments and a “space” version courtesy of Abstract Chamber. I enhanced the fade-in and fade-out which were a bit faint.

The title is from Ray Bradbury’s “The Fog Horn”

“I'll make me a sound and an apparatus and they'll call it a Fog Horn and whoever hears it will know the sadness of eternity and the briefness of life."

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Yariksha, a singer and poet from Montréal, Canada, crafting songs that blend ritual, emotion, and sonic exploration. My lyrics are entirely my own creations, and many are deeply autobiographical — born from lived experience, transformation, and love.

I compose using a blend of intuition, AI collaboration, and digital tools, shaping each piece with care, emotion, and intention. My music spans folk ballads, ambient textures, intimate jazz, cathartic rock, and more — always guided by the story I want to tell.

I sing in Mhàraé (a language I created), as well as French, English, and Gaelic, weaving together cultures and emotions in sound.

I’m also passionate about musical anthropology — I research ancient cultures, histories, and musical traditions, from the Celts to Mesopotamians to Egyptians, and so on. These influences subtly infuse my creations, adding depth and resonance to the sonic landscapes I explore.

If something here resonates with you, feel free to follow, share, or write to me. I’d love to hear what you feel.

Thank you for listening.
