this is a live recording for Naviarhaikus famous Haikuchallenge:

insect tremolo
soberingly cools the heat
of farmland roads

- Kogetsu Eguchi -

cricket's theme (naviarhaiku603)

Made for Naviar Records' 609th Haiku Challenge

A torch in the dark [naviar609]

Disquiet Junto's 715th prompt was simple: record yourself making a mistake on purpose, and emphasize the error through repetition. 

Long-time readers will know that I favor narrative in my pieces, so I created a little vignette: we listen in on a frustrated pianist in a parlor, as she tries to improvise on a piano with a bad E4. (The piece was improvised, but it was refined over a couple of takes.) 

Features synthetic piano, organic vocal, and ambient field recording.

Thanks to Marco Alessi from Naviar Records for the weekly challenge!

autumn butterfly - Naviarhaiku612

Finally, more than a year after the initial idea, I can share this concept about the seasons with you.
It consists of several songs merged into a single track. The initial idea came about when I released the song Winter's Ending.
All the tracks are published individually here, with the exception of the interlude Maj (an improvised draft from 2022)
and the track Last Summer, which was completed recently.
Below is the timeline for the entire song.

0:00:00.000 ->  rites of passage
0:05:51.000  ->  Le printemps (avec l'hiver au coeur)
0:10:06.032  ->  Go outside
0:16:51.500   ->  Maj
0:18:30.000  ->  Last summer
0:21:54.022  ->  Autumn
0:26:03.405 ->  preludio all'inverno
0:31:22.534  ->  Winter's ending

I did a rough mix of everything, making sure there were no volume peaks.
There will definitely be further adjustments to follow within the structure to make the mix more consistent.

In the song Last Summer, two samples from freesound.org (processed by me) were used.
Thanks to: https://freesound.org/people/Robinhood76/
                      sample: https://freesound.org/people/Robinhood76/sounds/269471/
Thanks to: https://freesound.org/people/dobroide/
                      sample: https://freesound.org/people/dobroide/sounds/74317/

Due to SoundCloud's terrible algorithm, this track will not be highly recommended... It took me a lot of hard work to create it.
I am sharing it freely with you (beauty is free, at least I believe so)...
Therefore, if you like it and if you have the opportunity,
please consider sharing it with a repost, so that it reaches your followers or anyone else
Thank you for being here.


Stagioni *read notes please

Thanks a million to Mike Nelson https://soundcloud.com/mike-nelson-93/tracks for starting this track and letting me finish it!
