When I read the haiku that guided this:

half-asleep eyes
open to a dreamlike world
of blossoms

Naviar haiku challenge 611, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

I had a couple of ideas for a more literal interpretation but as I developed the track these were discarded. Everything was created using Voltage Modular, the individual elements were separated allowing for multi track recording. As an experiment I ran the Speldosa VST from Klevgrand inside VM, this is the basis of the Sparkly Bursts, doing it that way made it much simpler to control the output which was then processed externally through SpaceBlender from Soundtoys and a touch of Valhalla's Supermassive. All recorded in a one shot lave take, live mixing and manipulation of probabilities and subtle modulations. Other than mastering effects the only notable addition in post recording was adding Gong Amp (AudioThing), to the central "Melody".

A song from ANSOUND (Thomas Sander) https://soundcloud.com/ansound-655183295 and Doug Seidel

just start over

Finally, more than a year after the initial idea, I can share this concept about the seasons with you.
It consists of several songs merged into a single track. The initial idea came about when I released the song Winter's Ending.
All the tracks are published individually here, with the exception of the interlude Maj (an improvised draft from 2022)
and the track Last Summer, which was completed recently.
Below is the timeline for the entire song.

0:00:00.000 ->  rites of passage
0:05:51.000  ->  Le printemps (avec l'hiver au coeur)
0:10:06.032  ->  Go outside
0:16:51.500   ->  Maj
0:18:30.000  ->  Last summer
0:21:54.022  ->  Autumn
0:26:03.405 ->  preludio all'inverno
0:31:22.534  ->  Winter's ending

I did a rough mix of everything, making sure there were no volume peaks.
There will definitely be further adjustments to follow within the structure to make the mix more consistent.

In the song Last Summer, two samples from freesound.org (processed by me) were used.

Due to SoundCloud's terrible algorithm, this track will not be highly recommended... It took me a lot of hard work to create it.
I am sharing it freely with you (beauty is free, at least I believe so)...
Therefore, if you like it and if you have the opportunity,
please consider sharing it with a repost, so that it reaches your followers or anyone else
Thank you for being here.

sitting ducks and circling eagles
do not a whole existence make
he told me as I listened listless
tired, drained by his insistence
that I would have to be alert
to push past the break
and be clear enough
to find my hands in dreams
and speak in fluent Nirwanese
in Dada-lekt the verses back
from me to him
that he had taught me while I was not aware

and not-I sat without an ear
in the round of ember eyes still glistening
for both are made of themselves
each other and of fear
but the duck will have to feather up and fly
and the eagle will go hungry as it passes by
this he told me cunning, sly
on this I will rely
not now but when 
time runs dry.....

autumn afternoon

An intense late afternoon (Getting lost on a smile)

I'm primarily a visual artist both 2D and 3D, for the last decade I've operated almost exclusively in the digital 3D realm.   since the late 80s I've made periodic forays into the sonic world, MIDI sequencing, minimalism, musique concrète, found sounds  and improvisation. I am seldom happy with anything and seldom consider a piece finished.
