HAIKU MUSIC CHALLENGE

Naviarhaiku 567

Above my head -
The burning summer sky,
Begging and walking.
 

Haiku featured in the collection "Fire on the Mountain: the Selected Haiku of a Wandering Zen Monk Taneda Santôka". Japanese, and English translated by Hisashi Miura and James Green.

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.

Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

This is my response to this week's @naviar-records haiku challenge, which you can find more information on here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/naviarhaiku579-mount-asama/.

The haiku this week is by Yosa Buson:

Mount Asama
amidst its fumes and ash
fresh young leaves!

Throughout history, alchemists have captivated our minds with their quests to turn base materials into gold and seek the philosopher's stone. Their work was shrouded in metaphor and mystery, embodying a desire to understand the universe's hidden truths. Similarly, this collection of sounds endeavors to evoke the essence of that magical process. Each composition is a carefully crafted distillation of emotions, imagery, and ideas, resonating with the transformative powers attributed to the alchemical arts.

In Alchemies, Paul Beaudoin blends orchestral textures with glitch and noise elements, creating a sonic alchemy that mirrors the ancient quest for transformation. These contrasting sound worlds—organic and synthetic, refined and raw—come together in a seamless dialogue, embodying the fusion of disparate materials that the alchemists sought.

The album weaves through an auditory landscape, transporting you to the Fire of Calcination, where raw elements are purified, or the ethereal Black Sun, where shadows and light intertwine. As you listen, imagine the delicate Golden Transmutation—the alchemical transformation of sound and silence into rich tapestries of experience. Each track is an invitation to engage with the mysteries at the intersection of sound and spirit, reminiscent of the alchemist’s laboratory, filled with curiosity and wonder.

Join Ambient Cat on this journey as we explore the tenets of alchemy through sound, delving into the Salt of the Earth and emerging into the Albedo Phase, where clarity and illumination reign. Each piece is a gateway into an imaginative realm where transformation and transcendence occur—much like the alchemists sought, through their craft, to unlock the hidden potential of the universe.

Here's my musical resonance to this week's haiku from excellent @naviar-records.

after the typhoon I walk around alone - sunshine everywhere

Sunshine everywhere (naviarhaiku598)

Participation mystique refers to the innate human connection to symbolic and imaginative experiences. This symbolic realm exists before or alongside our ability to think analytically or rationally. The idea is strongly linked to projection, as these symbolic or mythic elements naturally extend themselves into the world around us—into people, places, and things, just like how we unconsciously assign color to what we see.

Participation mystique is not just a psychological concept, but an aesthetic principle – a lens through which we perceive art as more than just something we observe; it becomes something inhabited.

In artistic terms, participation mystique can be thought of as a dissolving boundary between the self and the image. In this perspective, any manifestation of art can be perceived not just as an external object, but as an extension of the viewer’s unconscious. Colors, shapes, and atmosphere resonate with inner archetypes – mythical, primordial, emotional – before the mind can name them. This is why abstract compositions can seem hauntingly familiar, or why certain symbols – like a spiral, a doorway, or a shady forest – draw out something ancient, deep, and unconscious from us.
