haiku #578: one by one / praising and withdrawing inside - / winter moon

one by one
praising and withdrawing inside -
winter moon

Marco from Naviar Records couldn't find any information about a haiku poet whose pen name was Senjo. He came across this poem in The Penguin Book of Haiku, but there's no mention of his/her life or other works. However, he liked it so much that he decided to share it anyway and hopes you'll find it inspiring, too.

If anyone else has more information on this mysterious haiku poet, please get in touch with Naviar Records and they'll update the description.

Naviar haiku challenge 578: details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

With the exception of the gongs, a combination of a modified Dreamsynth bell preset and Gong Amp, everything was made with one monster virtual modular patch using VCV Rack (Mostly Surge XT modules). 

Probably not the best way to do it, I should have learned from how easy it was splitting things last week, but everything including the gongs was multi-track recorded as a single live performance. Apart from pushing my far from shabby CPU to it's limit I wasn't able to modulate as many things as I'd have liked, ran into the not enough physical knobs/sliders limit.  ,
