Amongst the rushes [naviarhaiku576]

looping snippets from a previous recording (not in time hence the wonkiness) + heavily modulated rings (fed particle noise). manually going into fully wet delay+reverb and fully dry.

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:

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.

The author of the week is Takai Kito, a disciple of Yosa Buson. Despite becoming a professional haikai master in 1771, Kito remained one of Buson's most trusted disciples until the death of the great master and was the de facto coordinator of Buson's haikai group.

Here we have an ambient, new age type of sound, recorded in May of this year. It's my Yamaha SY55 passed through a Zoom MS-70CDR+. The sound makes me feel like I'm underwater, hence the title. 

Enjoy the calm. Enjoy your weekend!

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.
