Springtime in Edo (Naviarhaiku 191)

This week's haiku is by Takarai Kikaku:
Springtime in Edo, / Not a day passes without / A temple bell sold

I created a slowly drifting patch on the modular, using multiple clocks that gradually speed up and slow down. The sequences driven by these clocks interlock, such that the whole feels integrated. Over this, I ad libbed on BS2, JP-8080, and nord piano, with lots of effects (reverb and delays)
