The haiku prompt for this:

an autumn nightfall
the skeleton of a huge fish
drawn back by the sea.

Naviar haiku challenge 617, details here:  https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

I have my field recording of the sea so I had a starting point; everything else was made with VCV Rack. I started with the sequences then added the synthetic waves, mixed with the real ones towards the end of the track. Wanting to keep the rest quite sparce and minimal I then made a simple chord sequence and a simple self generating melody.   

With a rough plan for the overall form I was going to follow I set up physical controls and multi track recording, hit record and mixed/modulated all the elements in one live take.

While the sea recording is my own it has been uploaded to freesound, find it here: Waves_on_a_Shingle_Beach by Mr_Lamppost -- https://freesound.org/s/800900/ -- License: Creative Commons 0

Little song for Kinsha haiku:
"Some starlight
spared from being scooped up
four-handed net."

The title “Llum recollida amb les mans" in my island language is like "Light gathered in the hands” trying to evoke the image of the haiku where light is harvested with a single gesture, as if it were a living substance. The literal translation of haiku takes on another meaning, and the words must be changed so that they have the same poetic meaning.

Llum recollida amb les mans(naviarhaiku620)

some starlight
spared from being scooped up
four-handed net

I came across this poem in the book "An Anthology of Haiku, Ancient and Modern" by Asataro Miyamori. The poet’s surname and the publication date are unknown; only the name Kinsha remains.

Little song for Ikenishi Gonsui haiku:

"Deutzia in full white -
deep in the night,
the Milky Way."

In my language:

"Deutzia tota blanca -
en la nit profunda,
la Via Làctia."

Deutzia gracilis is the scientific name.

Deutzia gracilis (naviarhaiku621)

Deutzia in full white -
deep in the night,
the Milky Way.

Ikenishi Gonsui (1650–1722) was a haiku poet from Nara who settled permanently in Kyoto in 1684. A collection of his works, entitled Ikenishi Gonsui no kenkyū, was published in 2003.
