A hopefully peaceful track composed for the 591st Naviar Haiku challenge: https://www.naviarrecords.com/naviarhaiku591-steady-spring-rains/

steady spring rains...
both dream and reality

The rain field recording felt inevitable as a starting point—once in place, the chimes followed naturally. Two measures of gentle drones and a few understated piano notes later, and the piece settled into a safe haven. Nothing more felt necessary.
