Dungeon Ducks Escape(disquiet0504)

The original track is a mix of noise recordings that I made a couple of weeks ago. This is then transformed by slowing down the tempo a little & filtering to create a metallic resonance. The second follows from the first without a break.

Disquiet Junto Project 0221: Morning Music
The Assignment: Compose something — quiet, peaceful, refreshing — you’d want to wake up to.

Took a bit of the opening music from NPR’s Morning Edition. Time stretched various amounts, layered and edited, bit of Borderlands added to create a dreamy soundscape. 

Thanks to BJ Leiderman for the Morning Edition theme music.

I posted a second, extended  version on my other Soundcloud page at:

Thin Snow Scatters On the Wind (naviarhaiku256)

Naviar Haiku 256

Thin snow scatters on
the wind, melting as it falls
Cries for help for light 

Robert Hayden (1913-1980) published his first book of poems, Heart-Shape in the Dust, in 1940.

Even though he was interested in African American history and often expressed his concerns about race in his writing, he didn’t want to be identified as a black poet. William Meredith wrote about him: “Hayden declared himself, at considerable cost in popularity, an American poet rather than a black poet, when for a time there was posited an unreconcilable difference between the two roles. There is scarcely a line of his which is not identifiable as an experience of black America, but he would not relinquish the title of American writer for any narrower identity.”

Naviar Haiku 269

Before the crossroads
not a stir across the land
a sunrise moment

The sounds I hear when standing before the crossroads: the gentle movement of air, soft sounds nearby, the memory of sounds, my movements, the ringing in my ears, the sound of my thoughts, a distant freight train, the sound of a bird soaring, the sound of my imagination, distant ambiance, my breath and heartbeat, the sound of light in the sky.
