On a quest to hear All of lifes sweet melodies Merged into one Welcome, this is Haiku. Interestingly enough, the Group Haiku owes its formulation to the mutual study of Torishimaru Aiki-Jutsu a Japanese spiritual path of meditation and martial arts in which Ivan, Bernie and Shannon were all students. The three formed the band Haiku almost eight years ago playing music around South Florida. Haiku was a coverband at first until the fourth member, Claudio, joined the group. With his influence and Shannon's years of songwriting, Haiku began to create orignal music together. With a mixture from everyone's influences and backgrounds including rock, jazz, blues and alternative, Haiku works on creating a sound that is their own. A HAIKU is a poetic form of expression in which the author shares the experience of a single moment or inspiration utilizing a structured form of three lines consisting of 7 syllables then 5 syllables then 7 syllables. And that is what they are expressive, poetic, prolific, organic, and improvisational in the moment all within the structure of musical form and composition HAIKU!
