Sorry for the late response.
The poem they chose was this:
in pre-dawn darkness
the avant-garde soundtrack
of orchestral rainfall
Yeah, those are all stencils I drew and cut out for the workshop, and also examples of painted pieces I made to show everyone what they would be making.
Only three people happened into the event, but they were happy enough to join that it made everything worthwhile. Plus, I got the musicians involved and we all had fun.
The funny thing about doing an event that combines haiku and ambient music is that the amount of people who are interested in either haiku or ambient music is small, and the number of people interested in both is even smaller.
The musicians at the event, even though it was inspired by haiku, weren’t even interested in haiku. 🤣
