SONG 74 - Naviarhaiku581

The prompt for this track:

plunging my hand
into the lake...
billowing clouds

Naviar Haiku Challenge 581,details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

A fair amount of experimentation with ways to represent the haiku, some more successful and obvious than others, the rippling sequence is more inspired by the image than the poem but I kept it in to move the music forward.

Other than the samples, sourced from freesound:

Everything was made in virtual modular using a combination of VCV Rack and Voltage Modular.  Running VM as a plugin allowed me to run both in parallel and make a single take multitrack recording.

Early Morning Light - naviarhaiku 583

NaviarHaïku 583

D'après le poème de Ōshima Ryōta (période Edo)

out of the blue
of early morning light:
a paulownia leaf

Out of the blue (naviarhaïku583)

Naviarhaïku584

D'après le poème de Kajiwara Hashin (1864 - ?)

heaven and earth:
neither exists apart from 
snow fluttering down

Snowscape (naviarhaïku584)

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
