for this haiku:

young grasses -
not yet bent
in any direction

poem: by Kaga no Chiyo
artwork: my photo of a work by Mathias Cherqui

in any direction (naviarhaiku608)

One of Rolf Kasten's Playertron Stochastic patches for Voltage Modular( included with his Signal Path magazine) provided a firm foundation on which I was able to build the piece. I manipulated probabilities, bpm, pitch, as well as adding reverb using Waverley's Quadelay. I then applied some finishing touches in Reaper.
Another product of what I've learned about bringing creations to fruition in the SpaceDog's Kennel
