naviarhaiku486 – Lost in tranquil seas
Lost in tranquil seas
Where spring feels melancholy
Another sunset

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.

tranquil seas - Naviarhaiku 486

Happy to be back to contributing for the Disquiet Junto. This must be one of my favourite recurring Junto projects as it's so inspiring and fun. 

About my process: After a first attempt that didn't quite work, I found a good setting on my Pladask Elektrisk Fabrikat -- one that leaves lots of space for the next person to add stuff in -- and improvised what you're hearing here, off the top off my head. I love how the pedal introduces "holes" in the incoming guitar signal, reminds me a bit of William Basinski's "Disintegrating Loops". All of this recorded in Cubase, adding a pinch of reverb & delay.

I hope this inspires some of you to add their second part to it!

This is my response to this week's @naviar-records haiku challenge. Here's more information about that:

"Star above the peak -
a silk worm-breeding village
silently asleep"
 
Mizuhara Shuoshi was a 20th century Japanese poet. Shuoshi rebelled against the principles of emotional detachment in haiku, which he thought limited his ability to emotionally express himself through poetry: he started a magazine called Staggerbush which focused on a more romantic, lyrical type of haiku.

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.
