haiku #584: heaven and earth: / neither exists apart from / snow fluttering down

If I was better at 'social' media' stuff, I'd be making a bigger fuss of this 1,000th upload! 🎉 

heaven and earth:
neither exists apart from
snow fluttering down

Kajiwara Hashin was born in 1864 and studied under Kyoshi. Although Hashin is not very well-known as a poet, this particular haiku that he wrote is quite popular worldwide: it was first translated by Miyamori Asataro and later by R. H. Blyth.

The title for this track should probably have been Heaven-Earth-Snow, but I'll stick with what I started with# saves; a lot of project file management.

All source sounds assembled in virtual modular using a combination of VCV Rack and Voltage Modular, manipulated and multi-track recorded ain one live session using a combination of mapped physical controls (VCV) and mouse (Voltage Modular, sequences). Splitting elements allowed me to pipe them through a variety of external effect which were in place at recording allowing me to adjust for and incorporate them into the performance. I'll single out Blackhole reverb from Eventide as this was it's first outing, purchased last week, with a discount code that made it worth a punt. Provided both the expanse of heaven and the swirling snow layer.

Kaga no Chiyo-jo (1703–1775) was a haiku poet discovered by Kagami Shiko at a very young age. She became a Buddhist nun at 52 and wrote around 1,900 haiku in her lifetime. A highlight of her poetry career was presenting haiku to a Korean delegation in 1763, one of the first cultural exchanges of this kind.

as soggy neutrons - naviarhaiku608

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.
