Under the twilight sky
light shimmering on the pond -
swallows in autumn

autumn (naviarhaiku595)

The target haiku for this was:

Under the twilight sky
light shimmering on the pond -
swallows in autumn

Naviar haiku challenge 595, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Having used a canary for the last challenge I didn't want to do birdsong again so concentrated on the shimmering twilight. Created in virtual modular using VCV Rack and a lot of delay/reverb plugins, all in place when I recorded a "Live" improvisation**. It has been said that "You can't have too many reverbs" ant I almost all of them somewhere on this track. if anyone is curious, leave a comment and I'll list them.

** I made some selective edits to the recoding to bring the track under the Soundcloud the minute promotion limit, no re-records or punch-ins.  

Under The Twilight Sky - (naviarhaiku - 595)

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.
