“Don’t pick it!” [naviarhaiku623]

I created a fairly random sequence of sixteen notes using Beepbox and this was repeated sixteen times with a note removed each time until the last repeat is silent. The result of this process was played with a drone backdrop which, needless to say, gradually takes over as the piece progresses.  A little reverb etc was added at various stages.

“Don’t pick it!” then picks and gives to me a garden plum

by: Tan Taigi

Tan Taigi was a haiku poet of the Edo period. He was a wanderer for most of his life and admired by Yosa Buson for his ability to transcend his eclectic and unconventional lifestyle with sublime poetry.
