The haiku that prompted this: 

Star above the peak -
a silk worm-breeding village
silently asleep

Naviar haiku challenge 613, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Although the haiku provided a clear image with some well defined elements I didn't have a starting point. The star and sleeping village were no problem so I began experimenting with sequenced elements to represent the peak using VCV Rack. I then developed the atmospheric background in Voltage Modular as I wanted to use the Quadelay module from Waverley Instruments for which there is no VCV equivalent. I also included Healing 2 Lite , the Free singing bowl VST Instrument from Quiet Music. 

Taking the most promising sequences from VCV including an evolving "Pseudo melody" made with a virtual implementation of the Turing Machine. I assembled a routing and automation maze so I could multi track record and live improvise. I also set up several external effects before recording.

Although this was the result of a live improvisation; I actually recorded two versions, introducing the sequenced elements in a different order. While finalising the mix I added a touch of Stardust 201 Tape Echo to all the sequenced components to cement them together.
