Haiku Music Challenge 10
Welcome to the tenth iteration of the Haiku Music Challenge, hosted by Naviar Records.
This week we treat the following haiku by Lee Rosevere:
The heart is a fool,
Never learns what it can’t have
Beating hopelessly
One of the earliest participants in the Naviar Haiku challenge, Lee Rosevere is a music-maker, film score composer, and founder of the Canadian label Happy Puppy Records. A track by Lee was also included in our latest anniversary compilation 5 Years of Naviar Haiku.
Nineteen compositions were inspired by Lee’s haiku, and here are three which I selected for you:
Track: Still
Artist: Unstable Time
Genre: pianoStill by Austrian composer Unstable Time is a simple yet absorbing piano piece. With its hypnotic melody, the composition perfectly fits with the melancholic atmosphere of Lee’s haiku.
Track: Mystery Heart
Artist: Ed Mundio
Genre: ambientAustralian artist Ed Mundio focused on the more mysterious aspect of the haiku: the inscrutability of feelings.
Track: Fool’s Hope
Artist: CHILD
Genre: electronicCHILD didn’t participate in the Haiku challenge for a while and I’m happy he’s back this week. His music is timeless and mesmerizing, and Fool’s Hope is a perfect example of it.
Thank you for listening. Next week we’ll be posting music inspired by Corine Timmer’s haiku:
The falling tide
tugs at my dream
Winter solstice
The deadline to submit your track is 27 March. To find out more and participate, please visit the Naviar Records site.

Very nice, congratulations to Corine Timmer!
It’s interesting to listen to the varied interpretations. Personally, I don’t feel melancholy when I read this haiku. Incurable optimism jumps to mind. I can’t wait to listen to hear all the tracks inspired by my haiku.
