haiku #586: fog dissolves to rain - / cool breezes clear the vista, / showing cloud-topped hills

Mere atoms

The prompt for this track:

plunging my hand
into the lake...
billowing clouds

Naviar Haiku Challenge 581,details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

A fair amount of experimentation with ways to represent the haiku, some more successful and obvious than others, the rippling sequence is more inspired by the image than the poem but I kept it in to move the music forward.

Other than the samples, sourced from freesound:

oar.wav by bruno.auzet -- https://freesound.org/s/525030/ -- License: Creative Commons 0

Everything was made in virtual modular using a combination of VCV Rack and Voltage Modular.  Running VM as a plugin allowed me to run both in parallel and make a single take multitrack recording.
