spring dream unhinged - Naviarhaiku596

This one started as a simple electric-guitar-and-bass progression, just a rough idea that wasn’t really going anywhere. This week I expanded it with several synth layers and some floating eBow lines.
Funny enough, the little gimmick in the middle section ended up giving the track its shape — a kind of slow, climatic crescendo that finally brought it to life.

I re-recorded that line as an intro today. The whole track is still a floating, meandering, blurry ambient groove, but there’s a certain beauty in that haze.

Inspired by this naviarhaiku620 poem:

some starlight
spared from being scooped up
four-handed net

Some Starlight - naviarhaiku620

Made for the haiku challenge 622 of Naviar records.

Under the burning sky -
a procession of ants,
without end.

Haiku by Santoka Taneda

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.
Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

A quiet cabin; (Naviarhaiku 624)

Little song for Kagami Shikō haiku:
"A quiet cabin;
hunting milkcaps, I was soon
lost among the pines"

In my language "Perdut entre la cabana" Little experiments only hardware soundscapes.

Lost among the cabin (naviarhaiku624)

A remix of a vintage recording of “Nina” by Hans Kindler (1892 – 1949). The recording credits G. B. Pergolesi (1710 – 1736) as the work’s composer, but more recently it has become attributed to Vincenzo Legrenzo Ciampi (1719 – 1762).

by: Kagami Shikō

Kagami Shikō was a Japanese poet, considered one of the ten outstanding disciples (Shōmon jittetsu 蕉門十哲) of Matsuo Bashō. He was in turn the master of the famous poetess Fukuda Chiyo-ni.

Originally from the present-day Gifu Prefecture, Kagami Shikō became a monk at Daichi-ji Temple, and in 1690 he became a pupil of Bashō, later accompanying him on some of his journeys and recording his last will in 1694.

After Basho's death, he kept travelling around Japan, writing several essays on haiku and collections of writings until his death in 1731.

Mountain Died Quietly  (naviarhaiku624)

This is a remix of the 1920 recording of 'Nina' by Hans Kindler. i cut the track into sections and remixed, then created three layers, one consisting of the surface noise at the beginning and end, repeated and stretched. I made alterations to pitch and tempo then added grains, delay, reverb, echo, etc.
