The collab was done in such a way, that each party prepared 3 tracks, which were then refined by the other party.

The tracks 105 – 107 were prepared by me and refined by Head Joint.
The tracks 108 – 110 were prepared by Head Joint and refined by me.

A huge thank you to Stefan @stefankraft_music for his splendid orchestral reimaginings of my piano compositions, which resulted in creating an incredibly captivating sonic tapestry. It has been a great honour and joy for me to collaborate with this immensely talented composer and musician.

Thank you so much for listening, we genuinely hope you will enjoy this work.

Over (Ft. Stefan Kraft)

Every night at 2:13 a.m., the old carousel at the edge of town begins to turn—slowly, deliberately—though no one is ever seen near it. The fairground was shut down decades ago, fenced off and forgotten, but locals swear they’ve seen the horses rising and falling in the dark, their chipped paint gleaming under moonlight.

There’s no power. No wind. Just movement.

Some say a child vanished there on the fair’s final night. Others whisper that the carousel was built with parts from somewhere… not quite right. It doesn’t thrash or scream. It moves gently, like it remembers how to bring joy—but has no one left to share it with.

It’s not violent. It’s not loud. But it spins, always at 2:13, like it’s waiting for someone to come back.

The clear day in the rainy season.

 naviarhaiku283 – The clear day in the rainy season

The clear day in the rainy season.
The madder red of the twilight appeared
And vanished instantly.

Poem by Takahama Kyoshi 

Kyoshi was the editor of the haiku magazine Hototogisu, which promoted a more traditional style of haiku compared to other contemporary schools which were not following the pattern of seventeen syllables at that time. Kyoshi also highlighted the symbolic function of the kigo (the season word), even though the more modern trends were already tending towards season-less haiku. He was active during the Shōwa period of Japan.

The madder red of the twilight

The Madder Red Of The Twilight - naviarhaiku283

Quasi-generative sine waves and lap steel loops slowly unfold material from the rainy season raga Megh. A slow 17 beat rhythmic cycle played on a bell gradually gets swamped by non-pulsed layers.

Life Swirls By -(naviarhaiku294)

windspace began exploring electronic music in 1982 using analog synthesizers and in recent years has gravitated to ambient music. windspace today mostly uses computers to produce his music, but occasionally some ancient hardware sees the light of day. He also releases more experimental and extreme music under the name of ho66it.  He records his music now in Colorado where he resides with his greatest supporter...his wonderful wife.
