The background to this is a 1,000 year-old church near Hereford, which has a wooden statue of George and the Dragon ... You can get a flavour of the place and enjoy the visualisation of this track at https://youtu.be/ogYz27JAOuE

You can also see the church in real life at https://maps.app.goo.gl/f9DGotayt1daEMcg8 ... it's worth a visit! 😎

The coming of autumn
determined
by a red dragonfly

Kaya Shirao was born in 1738 in Fukagawa, Edo, now part of Tokyo.

He ran a school in Edo during Spring and Autumn, but in Summer and Winter, he would move to the countryside to teach thousands of aspiring poets from throughout the Shinano province (now Nagano Prefecture). He's considered one of the first established haikai writers to help spread cultural forms from national to regional urban centers.

The coming of autumn (Naviarhaiku 614)

A four-minute ambient journey built from four evolving one-minute drones — each exploring a distinct emotional landscape.
Major to minor, light to dark, tension to abstraction:

00:00 – 01:00 → Luminous, joyful
01:00 – 02:00 → Dark, melancholic
02:00 – 03:00 → Anxious, tense
03:00 – 04:00 → Abstract, strange

Synthesizers and acoustic instruments blend seamlessly to create a warm, organic soundscape — bowed upright bass, harmonica, harmonium, and Tibetan bowls intertwine in a meditative yet cinematic flow.
Perfect for moments of reflection, atmosphere, and deep listening.

It's raining [Naviar Haiku # 616]

A storm is a musical composition in itself. Taking inspiration from this week's Disquiet Junto project, I created improvised music to accompany Bruno Auzet's (@user-876924050) excellent field-recording, enhancing the inherent emotions and sounds of the original.

You can find the field recording on Freesound at freesound.org/people/bruno.auzet/sounds/713953/ under a Creative Commons 0 licence. My thanks go to Bruno Auzet for providing this wonderful recording.

The photograph was taken in Cornwall, not in Brittany - around 40 years ago.

More on the 721st weekly Disquiet Junto project, Well Weathered — The Assignment: Play along with a storm — at https://disquiet.com/0721/.
