Summer night

I count fleas.

Ryōkan Taigu was a Japanese poet and calligrapher who lived during the Edo period. A Buddhist monk who lived much of his life as a hermit, he spent most of his time writing poetry, calligraphy, and communing with nature. His poetry is often very simple and inspired by nature.

Wai Mei Wong is a former early childhood educator living in Toronto, Canada. Her picture book Hello, Dark was shortlisted for the 2022 IODE Jean Throop Book Award, and chosen for the 2022 CCBC Spring Best Book for Kids & Teens Selection. She enjoys poetry, nature walks and funny movies.

She started writing Haiku in October 2022, after she became curious about this deceivingly simplistic form of poetry. Her inspiration comes mostly from her experience or the stories from people close to her.

This week's haiku, by Andy Perrin, led me to this short improvisation (in D Dorian) on a VST piano. Recorded in Reaper and mastered with CloudBounce.

Dark And Light  (Naviarhaiku 482 )

started with sampling three old kitchen frypans and saucepans as gong sources - a then a whole lot of resynthesis, drawn filtering and  transposing-microtonal, major minor and pentatonic mappings and mess later -here we arrive in sombre monotony!

Dark and light buried truths will rise.

Dark and Light_buried truths. (Naviar Haiku 482)

Goodbye Mister Ryūichi

I'm so sad for this great lost. Ryūichi Sakamoto was one of my favourite artists ever. One big source of inspiration when I use piano into my tracks. This is my little personale tribute.
Have a good trip, Mister Sakamoto!

Gary Clarke joined a social media platform to raise awareness about an infrastructure issue in his local area by creating a website at Whaligoe Eye in August, 2021. During this time, he stumbled across a poetry and writing community which provided support and encouragement for his creativity.
Living right on the coastline in the Highlands of Scotland provides Gary with plenty of inspiration for his poetic endeavours, and through moments of sunrise and sunset gracing the North Sea it proves to be a motivational muse.

All here, in reality, are works in progress and are therefore apt to change at any time. All those except XIII Sisters and RAW which, as many of you may have done, I literally gave away in return for their placement in a library. Something I won't be doing again any time soon. If you have a use for something you hear here please just ask.

ChatGTP said of AI Music...
'Creative AI tools can be seen as sophisticated plagiarism software, as they do not produce genuinely original content but rather emulate and modify existing works by artists subtly enough to circumvent copyright laws'

Sometimes it takes a dispassionate, independent view to actually see the truth of it ...

There are links to XiiixxiQ below. Your mileage may vary as to whether it decides to work on your system or not. It only runs on a Mac because I really don't have time to do all the necessary work to make it compatible with anything other than my 2015 MacBook Pro :-(. It is still being developed (for my own use) and improved, and I may yet get round to doing another release if I can find the time to tidy it all up.
