You brought back memories of a insane night, being chased by clear and distinct voices, yet they were merely monsters in angel form.

Recorded, mixed & mastered on 20 Jun 2025 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. 

Synths, effects.

This original version of "I Dreamed I Flew With Segmented Angels” was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 598: After The Typhoon.

after the typhoon
I walk around alone -
sunshine everywhere

by: Hosomi Ayako

Hosomi Ayako (1907–1997) was a prominent haiku poet from Aogaki, Hyogo. After a series of personal tragedies, including the deaths of her husband and mother, she found solace in haiku during an illness. She later married Sawaki Kinichi, leader of the modern haiku group Kaze, and was deeply involved in the haiku community until her passing at 90.

Although this track was made as a response to:

It strayed a bit; In the very early stages while I was designing a sound for "Walking in sunshine", everything is assembled in virtual modular using VCV Rack, I played a simple phrase that suggested that it wanted to be a sequence, divergence begins. Probably because I had another project in mind  the original phrase and subsequent sequence development borrowed quite heavily from Steve Reich, I split off that version and pulled back a bit for this track although the roots are still there hence the minimalism tag. 

With the sequences complete I went back and designed an intro, not quite a typhoon but serves as as opening. And an outro; not really sunshine but while experimenting with modulated frequency modulation I unexpectedly found a sound I'd been hunting for a couple of weeks ago, it made a nice contrast so I kept it.

With all the elements in place I set up and did a one take multi-track live improvised mix, I also manipulated a couple of probability parameters, other modulations were built into the patch. 

A couple of eternal effects:
There is a final layer of reverb wash derived from the sunshine element made with SpaceBlender from Soundtoys and included in the performance via recorded parameter automation.      

I added a little bit of tape echo, Stardust 201 from Cherry Audio, to the sequences.
 
After all the usual blending a tweaking I added The Free Vinyl plugin from iZotope, felt like it would fit on the opening of the track.
