Congrats to the new parents in the Junto!

Technical stuff:
Made with SuperCollider and processed in Audacity. The background paddy stuff is a chorused morphing wavetable synth and the foreground is a perc-enveloped FM synth, both playing notes from the same chord throughout.

Passage Three

Not Yet Rent Asunder

Not Yet Rent Asunder - Naviarhaiku556

Some fun with my Peavey bass.
When I pick up my guitar I often ramble freely to improvise and work out what I have done later. Because bass is usually a support instrument, I rarely play in the same way. Before I begin to improvise, I usually have established the key, mode, tempo, rhythm, dynamic shape, etc. So this is a free bass impro working the other way round, with the harmonic structure found after playing the notes that sound good : )

The Other Way Around (bass instrumental)

method: a few snippets of unused sounds and creating new ones with vst and morphing
narration:  the words you cuddle up to

poem / copyright jo richter:

the eagle and the ego
the window and the shadow
the sphinx, another trickster
he ran to kiss and missed her

tentacle vines, all patience
antagonist indulgence
 gear poems and road comments
his absence and her presence

associate with green prompts
at psychedelic customs
mimesis mind, maternal
time sprouts from sunlit kernels
the words you cuddle up to
the eagle and the ego

the eagle and the ego

A Worn Embrace

Hell Canto

On 7.10.23, Palestinian forces, led by Hamas, broke down the fence separating the Gaza enclave from Israel and unleashed a savage day of slaughter and kidnapping that ended with 1,195 dead on the Israeli side and 251 taken as hostages. The Israeli response was just as savage but much longer lasting and much, much more devastating. It resulted (at the time of writing) in around 72,000 deaths (70,000 - most likely, many more - Palestinians, largely non combatants, and 2,000 Israelis, largely soldiers) in Gaza, as well as at least 170,000 Palestinians injured, compounded by a genocidal policy of starvation and destruction of civil order. A response that has destroyed most of Gaza and accelerated the expansion of illegal settlements in the West Bank - where there have been around 1,000 Palestinian deaths caused by Israeli settlers and the IDF since October ’23. There have also been many deaths and injured in Lebanon, Syria, Iran and Yemen.

The horrors of the Unholy Land felt near at home, and like the invasion of Ukraine, pushed me to give some kind of personal response - however pointless and inadequate - beyond following and sharing news and commentaries. Already far into Luna rising, a text and electronica album about Ukraine and Russia, I didn't feel capable of responding with texts so I embarked on a wordless album called Hell Canto.

The parameters are the same for each of the Hell Canto pieces. I’d call the methodology a way of comprovisation, of making sound poetry, derived from vocal improvisations and electronic manipulations. In November '25, having recorded 50 pieces, decided to stop adding more - also the fragile and unlikely October '25 ceasefire remains in place though in practice the word ‘ceasefire’ is a bad joke, with no sign of real peace and humanitarian and political solutions on the horizon. I’ve listened through the 50 pieces and chosen 27 that I’d like to be included in the album and 23 which are orphans for the time being at least. The 27 pieces come to a total of 80 minutes which might be too long for a CD. It’s not sure yet. Anyway, for now there are 2 Soundcloud playlists - the 27 in the draft order for the album, and the 23 which for now are in order of recording.

Slamming (mix 1.2)

I was trained in tradition, yet I stepped beyond its walls. Sound is my language, not to decorate but to liberate. Composer, performer, and listener — one fire, three sparks, inseparable.

I write and compose to uncover what is hidden: the truth buried beneath power, the dignity of the ordinary, the current of awareness that flows through all.

I belong to no authority, only to sound, to truth, to the silence from which all begins. My work is not mastery, but remembrance — a manifesto in every note, every word, every breath.

I am a composer of the 21st century: a studio artist. The studio is my forge, my battlefield, my sanctuary. Machines hum like choirs, circuits burn like torches, cables twist like roots in the earth. Tradition breaks open in this fire — the score turns to light, the instrument becomes the world itself.

To be a studio artist is to seize sound at its rawest, to sculpt electricity and breath as one, to summon the invisible power that belongs to all. Here music is not bound by walls, not enslaved by profit, not tamed by form. It is free, untouchable, unending — a living flame for the century that is ours.
