A Fragrant Breeze Is Blowing From China Over These Seven Strings ( Naviarhaiku 341 )

a fragrant breeze
is blowing from China 
over these seven strings

naviarhaiku341: a fragrant breeze

I was mad at the world…and then I let it go. 
This song represents the process of recognizing an automatic negative thought and eliminating it mindfully.

Ends With Hope

Ends with Hope (NaviarHaiku341)

Angel eyes, Angel eyes
I'm the man that's followed you around
Caroline, Angel eyes
You look so much better now your bound

Paid the price, paid the price
Your angel looks and beauty caught my eye
Your angels eyes, angel eyes
I don't intend to hurt you but I might

Paid the price Caroline
You look so much better now your bound
Angel eyes, angel eyes
I'm the man that's followed you around

Stalking Caroline

song lyrics by Rekha:
Intro Vocal Improv

Oh...Oh-Oh-Oh
Ah-Oh
Oh-No

Come on let's have the talk
The talk about what's good for, for this world
To address how our planet is in a mess
Come on people let's stay united, together
No matter what the weather

Sign of the times go with it
It's the sign of the times got to move with it
Sign of the times be with it
The sign of the times got to flow with it, flow with it, flow-flow
Go with it
It's the sign of the time got to move with it
The sign of the times go with it
The sign of the time got to flow with it, groove with it, come on

People. let's hold hands together
It's time to talk, do the talk
Address all the mess we have caused

Oh Yeah-Ee-Yeah
The sign of the times got to go with it
It's the sign of the times move with it
Sign of the times got to groove with it, flow with it

Feel the troubles they're only escalating for the worst
We gotta do something before we burst, combust all around
All around is combustion, pollution, frustration...
Gotta take some action for the good

Oh groove with it
The sign of the times got to move, move with it
It's the sign of the time go with it
The sign of the time come on flow with it, flow with it
Sign of the time, sign of the times
Sign of the time got to move with it
It's the sign of the times got to groove with it
Come on sign of the time got to flow with it, flow with it

We gotta be strong, strong, strong
We gotta hold on, hold on
To hope, to faith, to all what's good
Good for each and everyone of us
Sign, Sign, Sign, Sign
Sign of the times

Just "Takin' It Easy" while playing Breedlove Acoustic-Electric and decided to record Instrumental SongShot. Eagles-inspired insanity. ;-) For anyone that enjoys creating and sharing music, have fun and keep it real. Do your best, even when it's just sharing a simple contemporaneous mix of a song sketch or idea. Some will like it, some won't, so what? Next. Life is short. Be true to yourself. Nothing wrong with "promoting" certain projects and songs, but we all know Numbers are simply 'Just Numbers' and don't, necessarily, always define success on SoundCloud....or anywhere else, really. Mostly all depends upon what we each define as "Success" for each of us. ;-) Cont'd Best Wishes to all! Thanks to anyone that listens and shares their comments. Always genuinely appreciated. "YOLO KOKO"!....As Quincy Jones used to say, You Only Live Once.....Keep On Keeping' On! :D))))

A track from "Haunted Houses" album. Released by Laverna label. Digital copy is available for free download here: http://www.laverna.net/releases/Lav85.html

Composed, recorded and mixed by Alessandro Barbanera (march - july 2020)
Mastered by Francis M. Gri

"Haunted Houses" is a collection of seven tracks in slow, melancholy, dreamlike, nocturnal mood. It's a work made of waiting, of grainy sounds and silences full of rustles. It's a work talking about isolation, either in a physical and mental space; which talks about full spaces and empty or restricted spaces, of presences and absences, of memory and hope, of distances, of houses and rooms. Rooms innervated with restlessness and waiting (the opening track "Sleepless"). Houses where memories crowd, layered memories that coexist with the present (the title-track "Haunted Houses" is a short electroacoustic study on perception: indistinct, evanescent sounds, old pianos in the distance, confused and ectoplasmic voices, furniture that moves from the floor above, sighs...). And then there are presences such as those of literary characters, which can come to life in the mind while reading ("The death of Joe Christmas" is inspired by the restless and controversial character narrated by William Faulkner in "Light in August"). 
Even absences find space in the album, manifesting themselves in their impalpable distance (the piece "In Absence"), as memories of a past that has no place in the present. Then the rooms can become places overloaded with pain (the track "Torture Room"), where this suffering and effort can take an expiatory, spiritual, meditative form. And after all this inner torment, even isolation can turn into an opportunity for reflection, "redemption" and sincere change: the final tracks "Pure" and "Endless" try to capture this renewed spirit, following a strongly emotional path. “Endless” closes the circle, but it can also reopen it. 

"Haunted Houses" was made with guitars, contact microphones, an old cassette recorder, field recordings, dusty and grainy lo-fi sounds, found objects, recordings of streets at night, sounds of a carpentry workshop, slowed sounds, manipulation of loops of classical music taken from the radio. Every detail, every sound has been carved and polished day after day, chiseled and positioned with care and devotion, in a work of "sound craftsmanship".
