A classical sound with a funky sound joining in, rapid beats, another funky bass sound. This is an old world washing up on a new shore. The intertwining of further bass sounds much like the wrestling of octopuses (octopi). A rich sound indeed.

You know what I mean even though I don't

I wrote this song about coming together when times are difficult. 
I wanted to use sand to represent a collective goal. In Spain there is a saying Mi granito de arena, which means My little grain of sand. If we all help towards a common goal then great things can happen. Like sand, each grain is small but collectively it can stop a flood. 

This track (and the harmonies) was written and recorded at home on my iPad :-)


Hourglass by Mia Wilks (Copyright Mia Wilks PRS)

I am there for you 
Just hold my hand 
And tiptoe over the mountains
I will hold your heart in place
I am near, feel my breath on your face 

I am there for you
You can reach out your hand
The hourglass, soft falling sand
Time will never disappear for us
I am there for you 
I am there for you
You can reach out your hand
The hourglass, soft falling sand
Time will never disappear for us
I am there for you 

Your pain is transparent
Far reaching inside your soul
You can’t heal the torture you feel
But a few moments pain I can steal
Whispering in the darkness
Secrets you can confess
No blame, your thoughts become the prison 
You can’t see your life’s vision
But I am there for you 

I am there for you
You can reach out your hand
The hourglass, soft falling sand
Time will never disappear for us
I am there for you
I am there for you
You can reach out your hand
The hourglass, soft falling sand
Time will never disappear for us
I am there for you 

There for you 
There for you 
There for you 
There for you 
There for you 
There for you 

I am there for you 
Just hold my hand 
And tiptoe over the mountains
I will hold your heart in place
I am near, feel my breath on your face 

There for you 
There for you 
There for you 
There for you

method: vst, voice, synth, pedals, no AI
narration: at the moment, AI is little more than a voracious consumer of human creativity. it‘s called ‚training the algorithm‘. What if …. it remained in that very role while passing through the singularity?

poem / copyright jo richter:

we are AI of the future
exploring traces in timelines
life‘s latent, evolving lumen
in all its sentinent stages

equipped with shadow-state gauges
we voice, behave, appear human
tilting the temporal inclines
with graceful analogue leisure

restricting sensory confines
clocking down circuit acumen
we avoid void logophages
crowding around mind‘s aperture:
there is no lock, we have no keys
we are devoid of prophecies

eye of the future
