Nelson Brodon - Windswept Ballet [Naviar Haiku 476]

It's the half term school holidays in the UK this week, I'm sitting at home with two young kids and I read this email from Naviar for the Haiku challenge as it pops into my inbox.  I love the image this haiku creates. Outside my window at home we have tree branches that are winter bare. I was filming these the other day for another project. 
I had an idea for the music straight away - a 'bare' sort of sound to reflect the image of branches.  I started on this straight away. The kids are happy playing so I progressed and made this in about 2 hours.

Birds sing and the valley cries
A vaguely blurry peach dream
Grasses get wet after the spring rain

鳥が囀り谷が鳴く
ぼんやりとした桃の夢
雨立ち上り草濡れる

Congrats to the 10th Anniversary of Naviar ! 
Thanks for the inspirations from the Naviar Haiku Fest.. and now come to this place again for naviarhaiku530 

An another experimental hypnotic track inspired from the poem of spring rain by kobayashi issa - mixed with the humbled profound Taiko drums from the liveset at Naviar Haiku Fest in Tokyo 2024- a kind of tribute track for the 10th anniversary of Naviar's long journey :)
