Haiku #540: Face of the winter pond / doesn't reflect / even a leaf...

HAIKU MUSIC CHALLENGE

Naviarhaiku 540

Face of the winter pond
doesn't reflect
even a leaf...

Nakamura Kusatao was born in Xiamen (China) in 1901 and moved to Japan in 1904.

He was influenced by contemporary Western philosophy, mostly Friedrich Nietzsche, and his poetry focused on themes of life and humanity. Together with Shuson Kato and Ishida Hakyo, Nakamura Kusatao was a member of the “Human Exploration School”, a group of poets who used haiku to explore and highlight "how human beings should live".

Nakamura Kusatao launched the magazine Banryoku in 1946, and his major collections include Chōshi, Hi no shima, Biden, and Toki.

Challenge details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Multi element patch created in virtual modular using VCV Rack. I wanted a bleak frosty feel so there are no clean/pure tones, each of the elements are generated using random functions; even the "Melody" which is pre defined but accessed in randomly governed 1, 3 and 5 note blocks. 

I mapped the probability settings and output levels to physical controls so I could tweak and mix live, reacting to the randomly generated elements.
