Deeper (Doomsday Clock Remix)

stillness:
the sound of petals
sifting down together.

Miura Chora (1729-1780) was a Japanese poet from Toba (present-day Mie Prefecture). Early in his career, he came into contact with the Teimon School, and bonded with the great Yosa Buson. An admirer of Matsuo Bashō, he strived for a return to the simple tones and spirit of the latter's poetics, criticizing the vulgarization of haiku of his era and advocating the so-called "return" to a Bashō's style.

Visorula Papaliva

The opening hit represents the strong trunk of the tree from which the wind strips the tree of its leaves and flowers where the high notes of the piano thru a delay represent the sound of the petals sifting down together. There's a drastic 'ping' that occurs that's meant to symbolize a pebble thrown into a still pool of water and how the ripples bounce back and forth and mix together but ultimately calm is once again restored.

I went back to VCV Rack for the virtual modular for this one as I could achieve what I wanted more directly using fewer modules. The patch contains some sequenced elements as well but when I came to perform and record I didn't feel I needed them. 

Following suggestions from people more experienced than me I've done a little bit of remastering and updated this track.

slightly faint
yet clear
the milky way

Naviar haiku challenge 606, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Everything was generated using Voltage Modular and a lot of effects. There are two randomly generated sequenced elements where the note information was converted to MIDI and sent from Voltage to a couple of instances of Dreamsynth then to further effects.

Winter waterfall
a rock untouched
by sunrise or sunset

Later in life, she dedicated herself fully to poetry and ikebana, and in 1971 she founded the haiku magazine Ran, later directed by Kōzaburō Wada.
