Poem / copyright jo richter:

he invented a name
when arrested for loitering
next to a mural 
not made by Banksy

asleep in an ashram
someone smeared 'god' on his brow
revealed in reverse
in the mirror

there were very few moments
he awoke from his stupor
and fewer still
he chose to remember

on his way to the mountains
where silence prevails
he lapped sweet nectar
from drainwater pipes

during the earthquake
a squirrel hid in his pouch
he later found
an acron of thanks

Dangerous Assignment

DESERT OUT  -   2

This disquiet0597 assignment inspired me to go someplace different:

1. Leave the beatless path for a bit. 

2. Write electronic, polyrhythmic, odd time sig material for a planned recording session later this year in London. 

3. Polypulse, polyrhythms, odd time signatures.


Visuals: On bus 23.

CTHULHU MYTHOS - LEAVE US

This track is for relaxed listening, headphones on eyes closed. I have used samplers, synths and field recordings in its production.

soundscape IV (arrival)

Recorded sounds provide a rich and extensive palette of colors and textures.  I like to glean what I can from single short samples of sound.  I particularly like squeaks and creaks.  Lately, I've become enamored with the enormous selection of vinyl records available on archive.org.
