it's a first draft of the piece certainly worth investigating the sonic possibilities it offers. 
the synth always behaves differently in re-proposing the sequence, depending on the envelope phase in which it is found, I am fascinated by it, I have been looking for a sound like this for a long time.
I find it very meditative, so much so that it reminded me of seeing the splendid paintings of the painter Aldo Mondino, more than twenty years ago, in an exhibition at Villa delle Rose in Bologna. 
I immediately fell in love with those fantastic paintings. 
On the cover a detail of the work: Master of Fantasmagorie.

Ōshima Ryōta was a Japanese poet of the Edo period. Some sources say he was a disciple of Yosa Buson, while others say his master was Hattori Ransetsu. He's mostly remembered for his essay “Bashō ku kai” 芭蕉句解 ('Study of Bashō's haiku') published in 1759, a magnum opus of his studies and literary theories on Matsuo Bashō's work.

Untitled 10

If witches did manage to get in the house, sleeping with a Bible, a silver dollar, or a knife beneath your pillow had all been recommended as preventatives. Turning your socks inside out before going to bed was also thought to keep away witches. Mustard seed scattered around the bed was equally effective.
