SONG 110 - NaviarHaiku602 - Scent of Plum

The mountain path (naviarhaiku602)

Scent of plum
In a flash of rising sun!
The mountain path

(it has been suggested that F#/F#minor is the key of purple...
hence the key of my composition...)

Naviar haiku challenge 602, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

I used Voltage Modular and a couple of additional effect plugins, set everything up including mapped physical controls and multitrack recorded an improvised lave take. The ending is a bit more abrupt than I would have liked but I realised I was getting near to the 10 minute mark. 

The "Melody" that appears towards the end was randomly generated using Turing Machine modules from DMT Audio. https://store.cherryaudio.com/bundles/dmt-strict-machine-expanders-bundle
