1. The starting point was a photo of random rust patterns on a piece of wreckage found on a local beach (part of which is the cover picture of the track).
2. From this image I generated a rolling monochrome video sequence to serve as a pictorial score.
3. The musical interpretation is an electronic sequence created in Pure Data & edited in Audacity. The creation of both video & sound  involved elements of randomness or indeterminacy.
4. I also combined all the elements into a video which can be accessed at: https://vimeo.com/730561794

Tall, wide-arching trees
Assume a cathedral shape
Until darkness falls- 
Haiku by John Hinks.

In the Cathedral of Trees.reworked(Naviarhaiku 536)

In memory of John Hinks

Tall, wide-arching trees
Assume a cathedral shape
Until darkness falls
 
I found out today that John passed away. John participated in the Naviar Haiku challenge for over 4 years, almost every week, and shared both his music and poetry with us. He'll be deeply missed.

"John Hinks, aka FlownBlue, was a prolific and talented composer, and a regular participant in the Haiku challenge. Aside from his solo project, John was also involved in multiple projects: ‘Windfall Light‘ (with Jim Tetlow), ‘Abstract Blue‘ (with Kevin Buckland), ‘Light Fragments‘ (with Steve Escott), Szukanie (with Michał Wojciechowski), and Meadowlight (with Emma Reed)."

This Ableton Live-devised piece takes its title 'Tall,' from the first word of a haiku poem by John Hinks, a regular contributor of music and poetry to this Naviar community, who has recently passed away. Thank you for your gifts of art, @flownblue.

Added to that were a couple of semi random layers created in virtual modular using VCV Rack.

Along with those random elements I played a live solo using  Solionid an emulator plugin  based on the Solina String Ensemble: https://solcitomusica.blogspot.com/p/virtuales.html
