Inspired by this haiku

Fog dissolves to rain
- cool breezes clear the vista,
showing cloud-topped hills

Fog and Rain (naviarhaiku586)

Here's my musical resonance to this week's haiku from @naviar-records.

fog dissolves to rain
- cool breezes clear the vista,
showing cloud-topped hills

Thank you Marco.

three 90s jungle beats, all slowed to 128bpm, switch out across two channels

morse code plays the phrase "fog dissolves to rain" on ableton's "EFX Small Cymbal" rack

four granular soundbeds

a melody i played through three sampled instruments (upright bass, piano, guitarophone)

one atmospheric drone from the "though-forms" patreon

Created for Naviar Haiku challenge 586: 

fog dissolves to rain

Interpreting the haiku more literally than sensible. I stated with some binaural rain from this sound pack sold in aid of WWF Denmark: www.luftrum.com/free-field-recordings Then fired up VCV Rack to patch together the other elements, split for multitrack recording and additional effects:

Opening of the rain sample (Valhalla Supermassive),
Synth raindrops (PSP Pianoverb),
Re-emergence of "Fog" drone (Audio thing's frostbite 2.

This was not my original plan, but after several failed improvised takes I did things in a different order and got it under ten minutes, drums came in later than expected so used some creative EQ to emphasise their synth origin.

flowerpot - gliding - slowed + reverb

Delicate static and softly blooming textures, like the quiet hum of a dim light bulb. Each track unfolds with warm crackles and subtle shifts — an exploration of presence, fragility, and the intimate noise of quiet spaces.

Switch

Somewhere between drone, minimalism, experimental, post-rock and sometimes field recordings. 
I’m open to any collaboration or project with other musicians.
