Naviar haiku challenge 604, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

A couple of relatively simple elements combined with an experimental layer using several stages of granular processing. All the basic components were made with Voltage Modular plus some additional granular processing using GRFX from Imaginando. Mixed and manipulated in a single "Live" improvised take.
