Haiku

Haiku

I am proud to announce my newest release as part of Subterranean Tide’s Haiku Project.

“Each artist has contributed a three track release in increments of five minutes, seven minutes, and five minutes accompanied by a Haiku poem. Each song represents the line of the poem including title and reflection.”

For my release I chose the following Haiku:

Autumn moonlight-
a worm digs silently
into the chestnut.

Basho Matsuo

In keeping with the theme of Haikus I chose to keep my code and songs relatively simple, each track is a free running system that follows a set process to completion. I tried to keep the tracks as simple as I could while hitting the sounds that the lines of the Haiku suggested.

The album is available for as a free download from Subterranean Tide
