Shiba Sonome (1664–1726) was a haiku poet and disciple of Matsuo Bashô. In her book Those Women Writing Haiku, Jane Reichhold wrote about her: “One sees that most of these women gained access to the inner circle around Basho by being related either by marriage or blood to one of his disciples. It is possible that Shiba Sonome was one of the few to be accepted as a poet on her own. ”

Drifting

Desolate roads stretch across a silent expanse, guided only by flickering lights that no longer lead anywhere. Echoes linger in the underground passageways, floating between empty streets and veined alleys. Each moment feels like an unsent message, a hymn etched into the pavement, fading into static and dust. Along the way, color drains from the sky until nothing remains but a tranquil horizon where all signs disappear, and absence becomes the only language still spoken.

Expired Horizon

A relaxing, soothing song where you meet a mystic in the Himalayas.  This is a lo-finding, please enjoy!

Relax with a mystic (lo-fi)

I have never recorded with acoustic guitar, so this is my first try.
I hope you like this small instrumental.

MANDATORY LONERS

We’re all mandatory loners 
Livin' as if we’re goners
Getting psyched up 
To go outside
No germ is irrelevant
Hands chapped like cracked leather
Life’s feather, increased treasure
Keep your head up you can’t tell whether
It’s a sore throat or the reaper.

It’s in the ether 
I can’t see it either.
Sorrow is getting cheaper
More on the shelves
That can be bought down

Run to your bible 
Read to see who’s liable
It doesn’t matter anyway
Equal opportunity life delay
Society sans community 
Must I explain
Let this be the shock that
Loosens the wedge and 
Lets peace and love reign.

Focus on your gathering
As much soap hands lathering
More alcohol been rubbing
Then gullet running
We’re all on the lam
This time its not from the man
Fueled by warmth and affection
Physical distance our only weapon

It’s in the ether 
I can’t see it either
Sorrow is getting cheaper
More on the shelves
That can be bought down

Mandatory Loners

"Mandatory Loners" Nabucco Dinosaur

A tune written while sitting on a beech tree that had fallen onto the sand bar of a river.

Instruments:
Jubo ocarina, Killarney whistle, McNally strumstick, tingsha bells, tambourine, Szilagyi jaw harp

Fallen Beech Tree

Opulence

Original compositions played upon various acoustic instruments. 

At the moment, the majority of music I record is original folk tunes. Most of these tunes arise whilst out in natural ecosystems or shortly after visiting a natural ecosystem. The titles often reflect an aspect of the ecosystem I had noticed while the tune came about. Lately this is usually a species of bird.

Tin whistles and flutes appear the most often in my recordings; though mandolin, tenor guitar, lyre harp, jaw harp, dulcitar, and a handful of other instruments show up fairly often as well.

And here's some more music I've made along with my friend Dan Jones:
