Misty Spring Rains... ( Naviarhaiku 559 )

This is my first contribution to the Haiku music Challenge by @naviar-records. I love this concept! This was the haiku:
"misty spring rains...
umbrellas high and low
aboard the ferry" 
To me, it captures a moment of departure, the nostalgy of a life one is letting behind before being able to stepping up to a new beginning. It's like the feeling of erasing a part of yourself, like becoming a blank page again. The low and high umbrellas sounds like the up and down in life: there has been some and there will have some new ones.

To create the rain-like texture, I used a plastic paper and a can spray, then I simply played some keyboard layers.

HAIKU MUSIC CHALLENGE

Naviarhaiku 559

misty spring rains...

aboard the ferry

Regarded as the father of contemporary haiku, Masaoka Shiki was a poet and literary critic during the Meiji period Japan.

He advocated realistic observation by “sketching” (shasei) poems and going out into nature with notebooks, thus abandoning the traditional subjects of haiku of the time. His advice for an aspiring poet was, “Use both imaginary pictures and real ones, but prefer the real ones.”

Naviar Haik challenge 559, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge/

With the exception of the field recordings everything was performed and recorded "live" via a multithreaded virtual modular patch using VCV Rack and mapped via physical controls.  Only minimal mastering effects were used. 

Although everything was performed live in a single take  I had planned on adding sampled elements, recordings used:

From Freesound. (Rain and ferry horn - CC0 licenced),
powerfull horn by trezz77 -- https://freesound.org/s/546528
Thunder, dry rolling distant some big, birds, roof, TORONTO 3pm.mp3 by TRP -- https://freesound.org/s/578230

The crowd sound is from this pack sold in aid of WWF Denmark: https://www.luftrum.com/free-field-recordings
