haiku #551: Imagine a temple, / where only white azaleas bloom— / a pure white haven.

Imagine a temple,
where only white azaleas bloom—
a pure white haven.

Sôen Nakagawa was a key figure in the transmission of Zen Buddhism from Japan to the Western world. His teachings emphasized the importance of direct experience and the integration of Zen philosophy into everyday life.

where only white azaleas bloom-naviarhaiku551

This track creaste in responce to Naviar Haiku challenge 551:

Imagine a temple,
where only white azaleas bloom—
a pure white haven.

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

Everything was created in virtual modular using VCV Rack, manipulated live via mapped physical controls, split and recorded to multiple tracks in one live take.

With the exception of one equaliser plugin used in mastering and a single Surge XT low pass filter module used within the VCV patch as it was simpler to modulate, all effects and filters used are from the Fre Airwindows collection: https://www.airwindows.com  I had wanted to experiment with these as they are implemented as both plugins in a variety of formats and as VCV Modules.

The bell samples used are my own.
