a warm hazy afternoon
the forest to hear

pulling light from the other world . . . the Milky Way
 
by: Yatsuka Ishihara

Yatsuka Ishihara (1919–1998) was a Japanese poet and co-founder of the journal Aki 秋 with Akira Matsuzawa. He also served as an advisor to the Modern Haiku Association (Gendai Haiku Kyōkai) and the Association of Haiku Poets (Haijin Kyōkai).

Pulling light (naviarhaiku601)

Tides of the Beyond is a ceremonial ambient journey crafted for deep inner exploration, guided by the soothing elements of the ocean. Inspired by the sensations of lying on warm sand, hearing distant seagulls, feeling the sea breeze on your skin, and dissolving into the rhythm of the waves, this album is designed for truffle journeys and expanded states of consciousness.

With layered soundscapes, nature textures, subtle trance elements, and ethereal female vocals, each track invites you to surrender, drift, and return transformed. A musical odyssey between shore and soul where boundaries blur and the tide takes you beyond.

Created for psychedelic ceremonies, meditative dance, and lying fully immersed in nature’s embrace.
Best experienced with headphones, eyes closed, and heart open.

Beyond the Tide

Remembered

a scary, creepy, heavenly, orchestral, beautiful, amazing song.

E Flat Major 120 Bpm
