This is my response to this week's @naviar-records haiku challenge:

"plunging my hand
into the lake...
billowing clouds"

An electronic composition, sounds created using Pure Data and Audacity.

Fog Dissolves (naviarhaiku586)

The source is the Burns song 'Ye Banks and Braes', which I selected more or less at random from an old songbook. I arranged the notes as instructed and played the resulting sequence on a recorder. The track has two parts and in the first I duplicated the recording several times, made various alterations to the pitch and created a round or canon,  adding a degree of delay and reverb. The second part is the result of playing the notes in a totally random order, again with some additional delay and reverb.

A hopefully peaceful track composed for the 591st Naviar Haiku challenge: https://www.naviarrecords.com/naviarhaiku591-steady-spring-rains/

Haiku:
steady spring rains...
both dream and reality
Mount Yoshino!

The rain field recording felt inevitable as a starting point—once in place, the chimes followed naturally. Two measures of gentle drones and a few understated piano notes later, and the piece settled into a safe haven. Nothing more felt necessary.
