I read the haiku and imagined the smell of a rose and all the interesting places our memories can go to. All sounds are native devices in Ableton Live, using my own presets/racks, all being played by multiple instances of a sequencer I put together in Max For Live with the help of Claude.ai.

This original version of “No Drip” was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 577, Curve Of Time.

Curve of time –
a thought takes flight,
scent of a rose.

I read the haiku a few times and imagined a cloud of visibly cool air enveloping a warm lake, a tree and a heron.

This original version of “Slouch Beneath The Tree With Me” was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 576, Amongst The Rushes.

Amongst the rushes,
a stillness comes over us –
Heron in winter.

Using an AI-generated drum generator I had put together this week, I generated some midi, used some for bass and some for drums. I won’t get into too many details but the sustained sound is a bassoon or sample or something. It reminded me a little of Cale’s viola on the first VU.

For this I thought of some innocent with headphones on in some 80s shock suspense horror film out for a walk after an argument with the parents unaware that they were being followed by some evil thing. Kind of lulled away from intense emotion and zoning out to something not too engaging but not without movement. Maybe the result of the Walkman’s radio dial getting stuck after the device was thrown.

This might sound contrived but as I was coming up with this I was thinking of David Lynch’s Wild At Heart and the loop of Wicked Game in the car crash scene. This was about 45 min before I knew he had died. I am sad beyond belief.

The original material is a bit of mystery to me – Cecelia5, FL Studio, PaulXStretch, Reason, Thor, Fracture. To this I added Collision and Massive X & Arturia Fragments. I created this track after organizing the raw material for a future album. This was the second track I completed. I completed the first track yesterday for this week’s Disquiet Junto.

a feeling of coolness comes

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.

Yesterday, thinking of this week’s Haiku and Junto, I had an idea to go back to 2 days in 2023 to start a new album (second start today) & use the two tracks for this week as a starter. This would be similar to the work earlier where I have a long stretch of material to chop up into different tracks.

The original material is a bit of mystery to me – Ceclia, FL Studio, PaulXStretch, Reason, Thor, Fracture. I had something that was not close to being anything I wanted tonight. I changed direction and started two new MIDI tracks to run a metallic Collision and a Massive X bass. Then I went back to the first two tracks and applied Fragments and it gelled for me.

For this I used Audio Damage Phosphor 3, some DX100 samples, Behringer ProVS mini, several native Live devices, a few Arturia effects.

This original version of “Doll Anatomies” was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 574, On New Year’s Day.

on New Year’s Day
everywhere, a corrupt world’s
blossoms.

by: Kobayashi Issa

As customary, the first haiku of the year is by Kobayashi Issa.

Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828) was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun.
