haiku #616: whenever we meet / it’s raining / green walnuts

Little improvised song for Tanaka Hiroaki haiku:"
Whenever we meet
it’s raining
green walnuts"

We meet (naviarhaiku616)

Update: An in-depth patch explanation tutorial video has just been released on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-7Sv6_Epr50 - if you're intrigued how this track was made, check it out 🤗

I wanted to see whether GRM Tools Atelier could do something a little more rhythmic ... It can! 😁 See the YouTube video of the patch (and an upcoming how it works) on the halF unusuaL YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/aY6TNXLZYec
