Experimenting [naviarhaiku391 ]

A piece for Naviar Records' weekly haiku challenge. As the first word is 'experimenting', I thought I'd experiment with odd time signatures. The haiku has 5, 5 and 8 syllables, so my piece is based round two bars of 5 beats and 1 bar of 8 beats. I also wanted the piece to be quite melodic with the melancholy feel of a moonlit night under the trees.

Here’s another haiku by Tachibana Hokushi, also author of the poem we published last week.

Tachibana Hokushi, whose real name was Tachibana Genjiro, was born in Kanazawa in 1665. Hokushi was one of Basho’s most famous students at the time, and he even accompanied the great master during part of his famous journey through the narrow roads of the North, from Kanazawa to Matsuoka.

Spruce Twigs Run (naviarhaiku391)

Naviar Haiku is a weekly challenge to create a piece of music based on a poem. See https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku/. This week's haiku is by Tachibana Hokushi (b. 1665):

Experimenting
I hung the moon on
various branches of the Pine

Here's the result of my experiment. Unfortunately there was a bit too much of a breeze for it to be a success. And then the clouds came across...

There's a lot of low-level detail and binaural content in this piece, so it's best listened to on headphones.

In the late blossom
Of red sunlight
One last dance

Sunlight dances into the night.

Zooming into some contemplative, expansive guitar explorations inspired by the following haiku:

haiku by Mizuhara Shūōshi https://haikutopics.blogspot.com/2006/05/mizuhara-hana-no-ame.html

Mizuhara Shuoshi was a 20th century Japanese poet. Shuoshi rebelled against the principles of emotional detachment in haiku, which he thought limited his ability to emotionally express himself through poetry: he started a magazine called Staggerbush which focused on a more romantic, lyrical type of haiku.

Meditations on a haiku by Santōka Taneda's:

Evening sky,
the silhouettes of farmers in their fields
deepen.


(translated by James Abrams)

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.

Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

Evening Sky (naviarhaiku471)

A joyful energetic little song about squirrels, based on a 12 second AI-generated generated clip created using Riffusion where I'd typed in the lyrics: "Super mega fluffy friendly happy squirrels with their fuzzy wuzzy tails and their twitchy little noses".

You might expect AI to have made this easy - it just gave a good starting point and I've spent quite a lot of time adding to it.

A Brief Introduction to Squirrels

I've been fascinated by electroacoustic/acousmatic music since discovering what could be done with reel-to-reel tape in the 1960s. Nowadays I enjoy exploring what can be created with modern hardware and software.

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.
