haiku #378: snowflakes gently fall / cold winter’s pale sakura / I envy the birds

more or less songs

something wild in you

Not as well aligned with the subject as I'd planned, but I took a slightly unusual approach. I recorded myself reading the haiku, then used that as my sole sound source (albeit significantly processed). The result is quite interesting, if not exactly as I'd intended.

This track was inspired by the following Haiku:
Snowflakes gently fall,
cold winter's pale sakura -
I envy the birds.

Winter's Envy (naviarhaiku378)

The Schooner Of Thomas Hume

Don Jennings posted this lovely waltz.  I thought I would take it for a spin with each of my two accordions.  Maybe I changed the chords to make for easier play on the accordion but melody I think is close to original.

Moments fade, memories shift — “it’s never the same” by instagram.com/ambientbyID10 x instagram.com/lunnorr captures the beauty of change through atmospheric ambient textures and quiet emotion.

Allegory Of The Cave / Those You Love

Boson Spin - Ambient Bite 522

Music and voice : Deepman
Words and voice : Luciole Langevine

C'est au profond de l'ombre
Dans le silence épais
Au centre de tes nuits
Qu'il éclot de tes rêves
Captif consentant
Pris au tendre filet 
De ton espoir immense

Il flotte
En suspension

Cœur d'ambre lumineux
Cerclé de lave intense
Cocon de tes soupirs
Glisse à l'orée du monde

Et les mailles ondulantes caressent sa lumière
Sous le souffle léger de tes lèvres entrouvertes
Sur ton visage muet au doux regard de brume
Lentement se dessine en tracés délicats
La résille ténue de ce qui jadis fut.

Translation:
It's deep in the shadows
In the thick silence
At the center of your nights
It hatches from your dreams
Consent captive
Caught in tender fillet
Of your immense hope

It floats
In suspension

Luminous amber heart
Surrounded by intense lava
Cocoon of your sighs
Glides to the edge of the world

And the undulating meshes caress its light
Under the light breath of your parted lips
On your mute face with a soft misty gaze
Slowly takes shape in delicate lines
The thin mesh of what once was.
