haiku #511: in dark autumn nights / dew and the new bamboo shoots / reaching out to moon

I tried out various online tools to convert different field recordings into text and ended up using https://editor.flixier.com/transcribe/ - because it was the only one that worked on any of the recordings. I also tried audio > video > YouTube but YouTube failed to caption the videos.

I used an echoey recording of a recent visit to a cathedral which translated into nonsensical text (in German) but unfortunately no descriptions like [noise] or the like. I did not find a way to read a score or musical instruction into the text so I used text to speech - including the time stamps to translate the text back into audio. Because it is a rainy day, I turned this into a house track, sort of.

Songs From The Wounded Heart
Release Date: 01-01-2015
© 2015 Keith Richie

Songs From The Wounded Heart is a deeply personal anthology—an emotional tapestry woven from sorrow, memory, and quiet resilience.

Spanning more than a decade of composition, this collection features both new works and reimagined, re-mastered selections from my earlier catalog. Now presented in high-resolution 24-bit audio, each piece has been carefully preserved and enhanced to reflect its original emotional weight with greater clarity and depth.

From the mournful ambience of Harrowing Emptiness to the delicate piano-led reflection of Jake's Theme, and the poignant stillness of Weeping Angels and Candles, each track serves as a sonic elegy—an outlet for grief, healing, and remembrance.

This album is not merely music. It is a refuge for the wounded. A balm for those navigating loss. And a quiet reminder that there is beauty even in brokenness.
