My response to:

misty spring rains...
umbrellas high and low
aboard the ferry

With the exception of the field recordings everything was performed and recorded "live" via a multithreaded virtual modular patch using VCV Rack and mapped via physical controls.  Only minimal mastering effects were used. 

Although everything was performed live in a single take  I had planned on adding sampled elements, recordings used:

From Freesound. (Rain and ferry horn - CC0 licenced),
powerfull horn by trezz77 -- https://freesound.org/s/546528
Thunder, dry rolling distant some big, birds, roof, TORONTO 3pm.mp3 by TRP -- https://freesound.org/s/578230

The crowd sound is from this pack sold in aid of WWF Denmark: https://www.luftrum.com/free-field-recordings

insect tremolo
soberingly cools the heat
of farmland roads

Naviar haiku challenge 603, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Created using Voltage Modular and a lot of crickets from freesound. 

The synth elements are quite minimal and all driven semi-randomly, there's a fair amount of subtle random modulation built into each element so the final track, while a live take was mostly a mix with only a few other controls.

All the cricket samples were CC0, I'll add attribution and links when I work out which ones I actually used. :)

night meeting

SOUND  SELF    SOUND   MEDITATION  2

Blue moon is rising,
Above the mountain,
Enter the dreamtime,
A veil between worlds.
Code of the nighttime,
A blue moon shaman,
Bathes stardust mountains,
In watercolour skies.

Enter the dreamtime,
Star mind, moon eyed,
Temple of the sky,
Blue topaz light.
Map of the stars,
The blue moon path,
Spirit of luna,
Within my heart.

Moon body rhythms,
Dreamweaving numbers,
Landscape of star maps,
Cosmic wheel of time.
Blue flower moon bloom,
Sky water ballet,
A clockwise dreamspell,
Sky lines & soul time.

Enter the dreamtime,
Star mind, moon eyed,
Temple of the sky,
Blue topaz light.
Map of the stars,
The blue moon path,
Spirit of luna,
Within my heart.

Lost languages are like bones buried beneath shifting sand—remnants of once-living voices that shaped worlds now unreachable.

"Psychedelic Eye"

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.
