Misty Childhood

Misty Childhood (Haiku Challenge 484)

The rain is over:
South Mountain puffs out
Spring clouds.

(Tr. Sōiku Shigematsu)
One of the most influencial modern Japanese writers, Natsume Soseki’s literary career started in 1903, with a series of haiku and renga published on various literary magazines. Between 1900 and 1903 he studied at the UCL in London, but this proved to be quite a dramatic experience for the young Soseki:

“The two years I spent in London were the most unpleasant years in my life. Among English gentlemen I lived in misery, like a poor dog that had strayed among a pack of wolves.“

Despite this, when Soseki returned to Japan he exploded into prolific writing activity.

Gary Clarke joined a social media platform to raise awareness about an infrastructure issue in his local area by creating a website at Whaligoe Eye in August, 2021. During this time, he stumbled across a poetry and writing community which provided support and encouragement for his creativity.
Living right on the coastline in the Highlands of Scotland provides Gary with plenty of inspiration for his poetic endeavours, and through moments of sunrise and sunset gracing the North Sea it proves to be a motivational muse.

Sound of mountain
sound of ocean
everywhere spring rain.

Sôen Nakagawa was a key figure in the transmission of Zen Buddhism from Japan to the Western world. Author Sean Murphy, in his “One Bird, One Stone: 108 Contemporary Zen Stories”, tells us an interesting story about the Zen Buddhist master during his time in the U.S.:

“Soen loved to walk around New York City. He’d stare at the lighted skyscrapers, at their tops, he claimed he saw Buddha figures in the lights. “Look at the Buddha,” he’d point, “Shining Buddha!” He’d fill the sleeves of his robes with nuts and berries from Central Park or herbs growing in the sidewalk cracks, and add them to his bowl at the next meal. He loved the musical Fiddler on the Roof, and when asked a question about why some particular point of ceremony needed to be performed in a certain way, he might burst into song, responding “Tradition…!”

English Musician based in York

A lot of my music is created using XiiixxiQ, a working example of a Euclidean Chromaticon; a Euclidean, Non Linear, Polymetric, Polyrhythmic, Morph-able Step Sequencer

Uniquely based on summing the output of multiple Euclidean sequencers to produce new, hybrid rhythmic structures that contain both internal, small scale variation, whilst ensuring larger scale repetition. This, in combination with the variation provided by driving a step sequencer that can treat a sequence of notes as a Schoenbergian 'pitch row' or Fortean 'set' - which can then be manipulated under similar transformations (transposition, retrograde, inversion, diminution, expansion etc) in addition to re-ordering, creates the possibility of endless experimentation without resorting to stochastic intervention thus giving the user ultimate choice and therefore control.

The current source code for latest version of XiiixxiQ (ver 0.168 ) can be found here [ https://github.com/XiiixxiQ/XiiixiiQ ] It is written in C++ and requires Juce 7 (free) to be compiled.
