haiku #597: orchids by night – / within their fragrance looms / their blossoms’ white!

orchids by night –
within their fragrance looms
their blossoms’ white!
 

One of the four great haiku masters, Yosa Buson studied both Japanese and Chinese poetry. He was also an accomplished painter, and most of his poems were accompanied by paintings, resulting in a more diverse and individual set of works than the one by his main historical influence, Basho.

Winter waterfall (Naviarhaiku 607)

ponderous but insistent guitar figure and itchy beat gives way to a slower version of the beat with abrasive  washes of cronch.Wooof.

Woof Mentat

One of Rolf Kasten's Playertron Stochastic patches for Voltage Modular( included with his Signal Path magazine) provided a firm foundation on which I was able to build the piece. I manipulated probabilities, bpm, pitch, as well as adding reverb using Waverley's Quadelay. I then applied some finishing touches in Reaper.
Another product of what I've learned about bringing creations to fruition in the SpaceDog's Kennel
