Haiku Music Challenge 46
Welcome to the forty-sixth iteration of the Haiku Music Challenge, hosted by Naviar Records.
Since I was in the US for work last week, I decided to share a haiku about travelling. I hope you’ll find this poem by Kobayashi Issa inspiring: with over twenty thousand poems written in his lifetime, it’s hard to find a topic he didn’t write about. As always, if you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.

Twenty tracks were made in response to Issa’s poem and here are three which I selected this week:
Track: The Beach Breeze

Genre: classicalShifting between positive and more thoughtful moods, GLSmyth’s classical piece was written for bass brum, cymbals, temple blocks, crotales, tubular bells, xylophone, marimba, vibraphone, harp and celesta.
Track: Forgotten
Artist: Ahornberg
Genre: electronicWith its 10-minute music submission, Austrian artist Ahornberg was able to explore various atmospheres while creating a seamlessly coherent track.
Track: Evening Cool
Artist: Kyosuke Osaku
Genre: ambientKyosuke’s multilayered soundscape is a sonic journey that requires to be listened to many times in order to fully appreciate its depth.
Thank you for listening. Next week we’ll be listening to music inspired by a haiku by Mats Unden:
Memories of spring
Always present
Inside

G.L Smith gradually gives an impression of delight towards, maybe, coolness but in Ahornberg and Kyosuke Osaku loud sound of breeze tends towards coolness; Osaku is louder with telling breeze even at the end. It was nice time with them.
