The original material is a bit of mystery to me - Cecelia5, FL Studio, PaulXStretch, Reason, Thor, Fracture. To this I added Collision and Massive X & Arturia Fragments. I created this track after organizing the raw material for a future album. This was the second track I completed. I completed the first track yesterday for this week’s Disquiet Junto.
This original version of "Friction And Fluoride" was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 575, Even Though Afar.
Even though afar
a feeling of coolness comes
from those mountain pines
by: Kagami Shikō
Kagami Shikō was a Japanese poet, considered one of the ten outstanding disciples (Shōmon jittetsu 蕉門十哲) of Matsuo Bashō. He was in turn the master of the famous poetess Fukuda Chiyo-ni.
Originally from the present-day Gifu Prefecture, Kagami Shikō became a monk at Daichi-ji Temple, and in 1690 he became a pupil of Bashō, later accompanying him on some of his journeys and recording his last will in 1694.
After Basho's death, he kept travelling around Japan, writing several essays on haiku and collections of writings until his death in 1731.
