Release notes
02-14-2023
This first haiku has gone down well at open mics and in classes, though the first line gets people a little touchy - 'He's not singing about me, is he?'
My first five musical haiku were released online as a batch on FAWM (February Album Writing Month), and the comments are repeated for all five.
2023-02-18@richardmastersI really think you're on to something here. Great idea of having five songs for the price of one, so to speak - it's disorientating, but in a good way - musically and lyrically. My brain wants to make connections between the haikus and it does - it comes across as someone having a breakdown at work - my favourite haiku is the first, that's some modernistic zen stuff going on there - this is properly experimental songwriting and that's what keeps the craft alive.
2023-02-15@rocketgrrrlI think I like ‘ welcome to the farm, best, perhaps because the harmony works the best in tone for that. Though ‘Whoa there Nellie’ has such a nice instrumental backing!
