This piece is the tail end of a longer generative improvisation. I used Ableton Live & Live native devices, Cherry Audio Pro Soloist & iZotope Ozone 9.

by: Masaoka Shiki
Regarded as the father of contemporary haiku, Masaoka Shiki was a poet and literary critic during the Meiji period Japan.
He advocated realistic observation by “sketching” (shasei) poems and going out into nature with notebooks, thus abandoning the traditional subjects of haiku of the time. His advice for an aspiring poet was, “Use both imaginary pictures and real ones, but prefer the real ones.”
