Translating words into music

It has been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world - Chaos Theory

While butterflies are yet to be shown to influence weather, a description of cicadas singing in Australia has been shown to influence music produced in Canada.


Lee Rosevere is a prolific musician who was inspired by a haiku poem written by Western Riverina Arts' communications officer Jason Richardson. The two met via online collaboration, with this musical project the result of UK-based Naviar Records' weekly assignments that inspire musicians to interpret poetry and also short stories.

Naviar Records are currently seeking suitable poems and stories for future projects. If you have a haiku or a story that you think would be suitable, why not contact Marco and offer to collaborate?
