'haiku' is a collection of musical interpretations of haiku poems, all recorded during 2020, as part of Naviar Haiku challenges. My aspiration when selecting tracks is to communicate a series of experiences, and hopefully take you on a short journey. Most pieces are played, mixed and recorded live with an eclectic arsenal of hardware keyboards, synthesisers, and analogue effects, with little or no further editing.
