Natsume Seibi (1749-1816) was the son of a wealthy Edo rice broker and was acquainted with a number of other famous poets, including Oshima Ryota and Kobayashi Issa. In addition to his poetry, Seibi left behind a number of fine examples of haikai prose.

a project created in december 2020 found from the archive

Procedure:
A MIDI sequence was created with Elektron Octatrack,
which drives a piano track in Ableton.
The sequence was then broken down into four melodic lines.
The harmony was extracted from each melodic line.
For each track, the ghost plays its part and sings as it pleases.
Next, for the sake of musicality, each ghost decides which notes to play and which to omit from its part.
During the performance the Time increase and the ensemble takes place

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.

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.
