No lull for butterfly (naviarhaiku501)

In spring sunlight
the rows of tea bushes
ripple like waves

Kaga no Chiyo-jo (1703–1775) was a haiku poet discovered by Kagami Shiko at a very young age. She became a Buddhist nun at 52 and wrote around 1,900 haiku in her lifetime. A highlight of her poetry career was presenting haiku to a Korean delegation in 1763, one of the first cultural exchanges of this kind.

A torch in the dark [naviar609]

Live recording of my set at StromWandlungSchall IV / Altes Schlachthaus Mosbach.

An improvisation on Paetzold contrabass recorder, processed by a Pure Data patch, together with a pre-recording of Ciat-Lonbarde Peterlin, table top guitar, samples of bells, and processed voice.

The piece is intended as a walk through a landscape of sounds, reflecting on the different meanings of "Wandlung" (transition/transformation/transfiguration/transsubstantiation).

Huge thanks to Thomas Breuer @vactrolog for organizing this fantastic event which showed the wealth of positions in electronic music!
