an autumn nightfall
the skeleton of a huge fish
drawn by the sea

Skeleton on the beach

The haiku prompt for this:

an autumn nightfall
the skeleton of a huge fish
drawn back by the sea.

I have my field recording of the sea so I had a starting point; everything else was made with VCV Rack. I started with the sequences then added the synthetic waves, mixed with the real ones towards the end of the track. Wanting to keep the rest quite sparce and minimal I then made a simple chord sequence and a simple self generating melody.   

With a rough plan for the overall form I was going to follow I set up physical controls and multi track recording, hit record and mixed/modulated all the elements in one live take.

While the sea recording is my own it has been uploaded to freesound, find it here: Waves_on_a_Shingle_Beach by Mr_Lamppost -- https://freesound.org/s/800900/ -- License: Creative Commons 0

Regarded as the father of contemporary haiku, Masaoka Shiki was a poet and literary critic during the Meiji period Japan.

He advocated realistic observation by “sketching” (shasei) poems and going out into nature with notebooks, thus abandoning the traditional subjects of haiku of the time. His advice for an aspiring poet was, “Use both imaginary pictures and real ones, but prefer the real ones.”

Little song for Santoka Taneda haiku:
"Under the burning sky -
a procession of ants,
without end."
The title "Processó sota el cel" in English is "Procession under the sky".

Processó sota el cel (naviarhaiku622)

Made for the haiku challenge 622 of Naviar records.

Under the burning sky -
a procession of ants,
without end.

Haiku by Santoka Taneda

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.
Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.
