My track for the 645th #NaviarHaiku Music Challenge features spoken word for the first time; specifically, a recording of a short poem I found on Librivox. This track is also in response to a poem by a fellow contributor to other Naviar Haiku and Disquiet Junto projects (halF unusuaL aka Darren Bourne) whose musical output and consistent participation I admire.

For the 636th #NaviarHaiku Music Challenge, I had to look up the word “talus” and learned it refers to a slope in a mountain range. Coincidentally, I recently watched a documentary about dinosaurs and have been thinking about the age of the planet and how it came to look like it does today.

The prompt poem for the 635th #NaviarHaiku Music Challenge came out of the Stay Cool project and provided a generous amount of sonic direction. Using the word “star” I found eight patches that fit the outer space motif right away, leaving plenty of room for me to build out my sound palette.

Here is the track I created for the 634th #NaviarHaiku Music Challenge. By combining a recording of rain sounds with metallic and muffled synth textures, I attempted to place the listener in a hall that leads directly to the outdoors so that the rain outside and the sound of it hitting the roof can be heard at the same time.

I found the prompt poem for the last #NaviarHaiku Music Challenge to be somewhat confusing. I tried to imagine what the “house” is that the swallows must not forget on their return. Did the swallows take someone’s house away? Perhaps a twig or stick from an insect that was living in it?

The prompt poem for the 632nd #NaviarHaiku Music Challenge was written by @elwud and I created a response at the link below. The subject of a snail was unexpected, but I think I captured it with a gliding bassline underneath layers of soft pads and arpeggiated synths that seem to float above in the clouds.
