Beautiful piece ! 🙏 😍 🍀 🎶 🎧 

Kawahigashi Hekigoto (1873-1937) was an important advocate of the free verse haiku. His haiku inspired this improvisation, played on two instances of LABS VST synth. Recorded and mixed in Reaper. Mastered with CloudBounce.

Seagulls Gliding - (naviarhaiku517)

My music is freely improvised, usually on VST synthesizers, sometimes fretless bass, guitar, occasionally electric viola or cello, with a variety of effects pedals. Solo music is performed live and recorded as 'FlownBlue'.  I am also in four improvising duos: 'Windfall Light' (with Jim Tetlow), 'Abstract Blue' (with Kevin Buckland), 'Light Fragments' (with Steve Escott), and Szukanie (with Michał Wojciechowski). I'm a member of the Quadelectronic improv group based in Leicester, UK. Duo music is all on Bandcamp - links below.
