Hint

I try to balance melancholy while being uplifting.

Weekend in the wind

Sat down in the front room to play a short 2x12 bar blues on my mother's birthday, thinking of when she was a barmaid.

Drive, I Told The Driver

FADING MEMORIES

This EP was first released as a tape at Already Dead Tapes (AD168). The tape has been sold out, but the EP is available over at Already Dead Tapes : alreadydeadtapes.bandcamp.com/album/low-serotonin

"The world of ambient noise is one that can easily become monotonous and redundant. Expectations of these “spaced out” arrangements are usually met due to the listener’s understanding of the genre. There is, however, comfort in knowing what is coming from these musical experiences; but it is lovely when an artist throws you through a loop and knocks you out of your comfort zone. This is exactly what Lcoma & The Next Commuter drop into your lap on their new release ‘Low Serotonin’. Naturally progressing from their last release with Already Dead (2012’s ‘Waiting to be Spoken To’), the group takes you to a land where gravity holds no bearing, and time is only a myth. Unlike many ambient noise based albums ‘Low Serotonin’ plays more like an organic feeling than a movie score. It is music to implode to; slowly winding its way around and through movement after movement into a victorious conclusion."

Low Serotonin (Lcoma & The Next Commuter)

method: layers, balabolka helped out with impersonal voices
narration: to some people,  autumnal depression can be devastating. it can, however, also be described, both by words and in sounds. this is what I am trying to do here by means of a bilingual poem.

poem /copyright jo richter:

trees in chromatic distress
zeit sich einwärts zu wenden
elektrischt summt das es
addictive dusk to brighten

stirnhöhlenstau begrenzt
loose filaments of reason
emotions crack, feel distanced
baumgräten decken wiesen

there will be, will be some solstice
schrei hallt durch's navi-system
halt spur, stürz nicht duch den riss

median line, don't veer from your lane
tu, was als nächstes zu tun ist
broken times might soon be fixed

TRANSLATION of the German lines in sequence:
. time to turn inwards
. the id hums electrically
. sinus blocks limit
. fishbone patterns of trees cover meadows
. the cry pierces the navigation device
. stay in lane, don't fall through the crack
. act on the next task to do

still es

Aside from music I love to learn new things from other people, Video game and movie nerd. Establishment shill. Can tell if an apple is good just by tapping it. 
Music is on all platforms.
