Even though afar

Kagami Shikō was a Japanese poet, considered one of the ten outstanding disciples of Matsuo Bashō. He was in turn the master of the famous poetess Fukuda Chiyo-ni.

Originally from the present-day Gifu Prefecture, Kagami Shikō became a monk at Daichi-ji Temple, and in 1690 he became a pupil of Bashō, later accompanying him on some of his journeys and recording his last will in 1694.

After Basho's death, he kept travelling around Japan, writing several essays on haiku and collections of writings until his death in 1731.

Even Though Afar ( Naviarhaiku 575 )

This strange little tune uses only the single spoken word 'pine' as it's sole source material, making use of various forms of sampling and manipulation, including the wonderful Synplant 2 ... Enjoy! 😁

Although be careful, it's so odd the SC algorithm has warned me it won't be recommending it to potentially interested listeners ... Presumably, it's not considered 'music' by the machine?! Result! 😜
