Goodnight [naviarhaiku137]

This week's Naviar haiku is by Michael Dylan Welch: 
"Meteor Shower / A gentle wave / wets our sandals" 

As usual, a modular synth piece, one take with no overdubs or post processing.  

This track uses two short sequences to generate all the notes, through various treatments such as adding them together, sampling the resulting sequence, highlighting notes with volume and timbral changes, and also through audio-rate amplitude modulation of one oscillator by another, with each oscillator fed a different sequence.  

I wanted it to evoke a starlight sky and water, but not too directly. I shied away from adding a high falling sound, instead just adding a little portamento to the bass.
