fog dissolves to rain [naviarhaiku586]

three 90s jungle beats, all slowed to 128bpm, switch out across two channels

morse code plays the phrase "fog dissolves to rain" on ableton's "EFX Small Cymbal" rack

four granular soundbeds

a melody i played through three sampled instruments (upright bass, piano, guitarophone)

one atmospheric drone from the "though-forms" patreon

mary says "maybe tomorrow"

[naviarhaiku586] clear the vista

how the night came
