Two Steps

One day, Anna was wearing a different head and wrote some tiny guitar tunes that don’t really sound like any other Dorcha. We had a real laugh playing them but didn’t know where to place them.
These tunes sparked a new idea to invite others to write for Dorcha. Different heads, same body. We set out on an adventure to get artists from varying musical backgrounds to create a set of miniatures for us to play and record in a day. 
In Volume 1 we have the miniatures from Anna that started us off down this road, then on to collaborations with James Oldham, Stella Roberts, Ben Lee and Natalie Mason. We intend to pick up the miniatures again for another Volume with a new batch of collaborators further down the line. 
You can now hear and purchase all of Volume 1 over at our bandcamp so head on over for more: https://dorcha.bandcamp.com/album/the-miniatures-project-vol-1

a lost child crying ( Naviarhaiku 373 )

A lost child crying
stumbling over the dark fields…
catching fireflies

The haiku of the week is by Yoshida Ryusui (1691-1758). Very little is known about him, except he’s often cited and quoted as a poet who exemplified the key element in haiku of kireji or cutting word.

Seven days to make music in response to the assigned haiku: to participate, visit https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

Deadline: 3rd March 2021

Lost firefly [naviarhaiku373 - A lost child crying]

This all started with a Tascam four track, an out of tune piano and an Elks synth from about 1986 until 1991. I'm now looking to revisit these songs of my traumatised teenager/young person self.
