Name: Zero loop - The Ice Is Melting by Brillman in Climate Change
Duration: 12 min 7 s
Description: Released way back in July 1st 2012 using Zero Loop moniker. Only my own voice used here (going through various effects). No prizes for guessing what the theme is. Greenland’s ice seems to be melting at a much faster rate than predicted by current climate models/scientists.

Climate Change

New track that is very long (over 17 minutes). Thought about cutting it in two but decided against it:) Relentless bass from MS2000r, high pitched sounds from the Micro Modular and strange (diminished chords) from Elektron Cycles. Samples/Vox courtesy of Climate scientist Will Steffen.

The earth as a whole

And they talk (mix #2)

Dark Ambient with a soft Techno vibe going on. More about the dangerous situation we as a civilisation find ourselves in and it is getting worse...

The cost of inaction (mix#2)

Released way back in July 1st 2012 using Zero Loop moniker. Only my own voice used here (going through various effects). No prizes for guessing what the theme is. Greenland’s ice seems to be melting at a much faster rate than predicted by current climate models/scientists.

method: layering, understanding which kind of noise suits where
narration: what happens to characters in children‘s stories after the fairy-tale‘s told? to follow up on grimm‘s tale of two children lost in the woods, this soundscape drowns the first and the last poem of my kaleidoscope-cycle in apt kinds of noise. this static arises along the edges, ledges, margins and rims where the uncollected and recollected protrudes into the unknown. ah, the wind sings!

poem 1 (originally title: morvarid) /copyright jo richter:

All Gretchen‘s life
she had made haste
to catch up on
refractions of her youth,

yet all the scattered
crumbs of light only
led her deeper and
deeper into the dark:

The world‘s a forest -
she placed her bounty
on a tree stump – with
sugar-coated death
patiently waiting
for her to arrive.


poem 2 (original title: yeohanan) /copyright jo richter:

By and by, Hänsel lost sight
of everyone. His parents vanished
in the maze of their empty pantry.
His sister, he lost in the dark.
He then left the forest, simply,
and was shanghaied in a hustle.

Having crossed the equator
on numerous seas, he managed
to blindside the crew and be left behind
on some remote jungle island.

Blinded by the bright
southern sun, he lived on
in a kaleidoscope world, con-
fusing himself for light‘s shadow.

Longer Ambient Techno version with more of the same vox samples courtesy of Climate Scientist Will Steffen. Same sound sources as in my previous mix of «Earth». This one's almost 16 minutes in length mind so a real sonic trip with a cool sequenced MS2000r bass that starts around the 10 minute mark!

Earth (trippy mix)

Even longer, nearly 17 minutes of sonic landscape to explore. Again with the precarious situation of our climate as the main theme (courtesy of Climate scientist Will Steffen vox snippets). Starts quietly then builds slowly into controlled madness. Many sound sources including the usual culprits i.e. Blofeld, MS2000r, D2, Micro Modular, Electribe 2s, ER-1, etc.
