WIP: Project Alien - 4

The haiku prompt for this:

reminding me not to forget
a toad goes out
to the verdant world

Naviar haiku challenge 615, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Didn't suggest an obvious starting point so I took the opportunity to experiment and constructed everything using two instances of Dust, granular synth from SoundMorph. Everything starts with samples, I did use a couple that come bundles with the software but mostly plundered my previous projects and experiments. I also added parts of the following field recordings of toads from freesound:

Although the construction process was different I still assembled all the elements, mapped my physical MIDI controls and recorded everything in one live take. I used two instances of Dust so I could add delay effects to some but not all of the components.
