Saitō Sanki (1900 – 1962) was a dentist who discovered his passion for haiku poetry in his mid-thirties, when his colleagues at the hospital in Soto Kanda convinced him to write a haiku for a collection. Later, he became one of the most important exponents of wartime haiku: he was imprisoned in 1940 during the government’s World War II persecution of controversial artists, and was officially forbidden to write until the end of the war.

This haiku is included in The Kobe Hotel, a collection that depicts the author’s wartime experiences in Kobe, the struggles of ordinary people to endure war, defeat and occupation.

This track is part of the second step of Disquiet Junto 0526: Magic Number (2 of 3)

The Assignment: Record the second third of an asynchronous trio.
This week you’ll be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0525). Note that you aren’t creating a duet — you’re creating the second third of what will eventually be a trio. 
This track adds a quintet of loosely time guitar parts to Moray Newlands track Roughly in C.

There is also a shimmer reverb applied to get the two parts a little more gelled. The aim was to build on the vibe of the detuned violins.

Listing Queasy [disquiet 0526] with Moray Newlands

I found Daniel's bass part (https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/unfinished-disquiet0525) utterly inspiring, so went about making a beat for it. So this started out as a dangerous kitchen, cutlery type percussion track with some guitar sprinkled over here and there. When it was almost done, I tore it to shreds again, remixed it and loaded the resulting abstract, non-linear, non-grid beats/acoustic guitar improv into Leafcutter John's Forester. 

A couple of trial and error type experiments lead me to  picking out this nugget (mostly beats mingling with guitar, as if by magic, inside Forester). 

I think this matches very well with the double bass solo groove. I hope you agree, and look forward to whatever gets added in the upcoming third week.

The Edge Of The World ( Naviarhaiku 422 )

This track is the result of a asynchronous colloboration in the Disquiet Junto (see below) with super secret noise party (pidgin) @user-638188112  and @33per: This piece of music intends to enhance the wonderful atmosphere found in the track https://soundcloud.com/33per/jupiter-and-mars-disquiet0526 by adding more elements to the soundscape.

It is meant as homage to @Sigur-Ros - the title in icelandic meaning "Crying for joy".

Even More Reflections (disquiet0527)

a Haiku by Raymond Cobley
the edge of the world
– the road vanishes into
a curtain of mist

I found Ray Cobley's Haiku clearly pictures the magical curtains of mist that sometimes float across the paddocks but also evoked memories of driving along roads into thick fog . Im not sure I did the poem justice sonically.. but this was a quick experiment recording basic guitar gestures into Metasynth Spectrum re-synthesis, grain and other effects quickly sketched into a soundscape in Metasynth's Montage track sequencer.

the tree made a fish (disquiet0528)

For this week's Disquiet we've been asked to imagine a path through fragile vegetation. Two synths hooked up to Stochas provide the "vegetation" and another synth provides the "path", echoed by a guitar.

keep to the path [disquiet0528]

Made in response to @naviar-records Haiku challenge 436.
Details: https://www.naviarrecords.com/2022/05/11/naviarhaiku436-lightning-thunder/

The challenge called for the thunder, lightning and rain. I tried to represent them all here. A great thunderstorm approaches. Little drops of rain, distant rumblings, darkening skies, then wind, flashes of light and heavy cracks of thunder. 

There is something about this challenge that I am finding inspiring.
