Text: Yosa Buson 1716 - 1784

lyrics

the short night
on the hairy caterpillar
beads of dew

the short night
patrolmen
washing in the river

the short night
bubbles of crab froth
among the river reeds

the short night
a broom thrown away
on the beach

the short night
the amstel river has sunk 2 feet

the short night
on the outskirts of town
a small shop opening

the short night
broken, in the shallows,
a crescent moon

the short night
the peony
has opened

the short night
waves beating
in an abandoned fire

the short night
near the pillow
a screen turning silver

the short night
shallow footprints
on the beach at yui

evening wind
laps the herons legs

Rara Avis Amsterdam, Netherlands

Rara Avis is, like the name implies, a rare and wonderfully strange world of transparent sounds and universally poetic texts that fly like a bird through the soundscape.
