Autumn Wind... (Naviarhaiku 563 )

Recorded, mixed & mastered 16 Oct 2024 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.

©2024 Jim Lemanowicz

I put together three generative parts for this in Reason - using Grain, Europa & AudioDamage Phosphor. I then moved over the first take of this to Ableton and did some processing there - some dirt, some echo, a touch of reverb. 

This original version of "Shaking Air" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 563, autumn wind…

autumn wind...
I am stringing
a plain-wood bow

by: Mukai Kyorai

Kyorai was a Japanese haiku poet who first trained as a martial artist before he started writing and became one of Basho’s first disciples.

This is one of Kyorai's most famous poem, and one that Natsume Sōseki used as an example of great haiku poetry when teaching at a high school in Kumamoto.
