Created as a response to:

insect tremolo
soberingly cools the heat
of farmland roads

Naviar haiku challenge 603, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Created using Voltage Modular and a lot of crickets from freesound. 

The synth elements are quite minimal and all driven semi-randomly, there's a fair amount of subtle random modulation built into each element so the final track, while a live take was mostly a mix with only a few other controls.

Small sections from the following samples; all from freesound and all CC0, 
 were assembled into a single file which was then randomly sampled using a granular synthesis module.

not yet bent in any direction [naviarhaiku608]

One of Rolf Kasten's Playertron Stochastic patches for Voltage Modular( included with his Signal Path magazine) provided a firm foundation on which I was able to build the piece. I manipulated probabilities, bpm, pitch, as well as adding reverb using Waverley's Quadelay. I then applied some finishing touches in Reaper.
Another product of what I've learned about bringing creations to fruition in the SpaceDog's Kennel

in any direction

Kaga no Chiyo-jo (1703–1775) was a haiku poet discovered by Kagami Shiko at a very young age. She became a Buddhist nun at 52 and wrote around 1,900 haiku in her lifetime. A highlight of her poetry career was presenting haiku to a Korean delegation in 1763, one of the first cultural exchanges of this kind.
