το κάστρο

Method: An arpeggiated background and other stuff in the foreground. No field recording for once.
Narration: Trying to combine pareidolia with a myth told by Plato, a theory proposed by Timothy Morton and the existential experience narrated by Sartre in La Nausée. 

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

a week before her disappearance
the god convinced him not to go looking
and since she has shown up everywhere
even in flowers or cracks in the street
he did stop looking but he can‘t stop seeing

the cheek of the sun
the belly of the moon
the brow of the street-lamp
the mouth of the ridge

ever since the gods have split our rounded selves
to make our halved halves more eager to offer
and to prostrate before their altars, plato said,
we have been subject to the lure of fulfillment
to attraction, suggestion, projection, pareidolia

the voice in the chatter
the smile in the branches
the smell of the meadows
the thoughts of the birds

it was about twelve thousand years ago, another
philosopher said, that we swapped synergy
for energy, symbiosis for the notion of freedom
belonging for yearning, compassion for passion
and senses that perceive for senses that create

the song arouses
the idea lays out
the perfume seduces
the commodity is longed for

doctors tell him he suffers from trichotillomania
as tufts of hair compile in his hands, but he knows
better for where there was life and encounter, there
now is the void of the unknown, the shapeless nausea
of existential threat only comforted by fits of pareidolia

the gnarly root of the tree
the grin on the face of the jackal
the polka dots clothing the jester
the lack of her presence wherever he goes

pareidolia

Ariel (Frictionless Mix)

Getting old makes me reflect.  Seeing family and friends pass on.  Seeing older people of my generation living their lives sometimes without the physical or mental capacity to remember, feel, love, seemly lost.  It is sad but that IS part of life.  IT'S OK
