Naviar haiku challenge 604, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

A couple of relatively simple elements combined with an experimental layer using several stages of granular processing. All the basic components were made with Voltage Modular plus some additional granular processing using GRFX from Imaginando. Mixed and manipulated in a single "Live" improvised take.

Tea Bushes Ripple - (naviarhaiku - 604)

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.

Naviar is a music community and label. Through regular publications, open projects and events, we explore the connection between experimental music and traditional Japanese poetry.
