I, think much more today
About it is I stand to lose
More than what I could gain
When I kneel down to pray
About what it is that I must to choose
To keep the pain at bay

Open my mouth to say
About what seems the most confused
When it could be so plain
I think much more today
About what I stand to lose

What I stand to lose

When I kneel down to pray
About what it is I stand to lose
More than what I can gain
Open my mouth to say
About what it is that I must choose
To keep the pain at bay

I think much more today
About what seems the most confused 
When it could be so plain
And when I find a vein
I know what I stand to lose

What I stand to lose

What I Stand To Lose

Tea plantations on the planet Athoek, the location of some intrigue in Ann Leckie's book, Ancillary Sword.
I took inspiration from the early work of Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou (Vangelis)RIP. I loved how he combined traditional Greek instruments with electronics on "Earth".  "Heaven and Hell"  remains a personal favourite.

DRUMAX PROJECT

Drumax No. 4 // AFROFUNK

Taking five, waiting for the time to arrive, searching for the will to survive, on the drive of your lives
Taking four, chilling for another cold war, dreaming of the broken dance floor, falling through another trap door, hoping for more
Taking three, dominoes are falling over me, imprisoned in the land of the free, submerged in a fake reality
Taking two, power trippers calling after you, looking for another breakthrough, rejoicing at the callous menu, it’s true
Taking one, mad dogs running for the sun, fat cats have only just begun, creaming cream, having fun

Counting Down

Method: A Vintage Lemon Drop guitar and voice through roland vt4, catalinbread many worlds and catalinbread cloak into zoom r20. 
Narration: People get older, the ones I care for not excluded.
Artwork by myself, as usual.

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

frail, so frail
light hits like hail
wading through water
made of air

pain, all in pain
TV says you're sane
mute actors share
a voice with your mother

lost, all lost
covered by frost
each single day
like the other

frail

Blackout

(ever too late to shine )    



Now she lives among the stars
                                          
and the night is too dark without her
         
all the light from then till now
                                          
hasn’t found its way back to her

*



I had no heart to hear

all the bells that call on Sunday

just like a waterfall

they’ll stop falling someday

*


refrain:

       
Is it ever too late to shine

ever too late to shine
         
my love


     
Is it ever too late to shine
                      
ever too late to find
      
my love

*


I see her in a crowd 

I see her in the mirror

Her face is like a shroud

as my own grows dimmer 

*


If you find yourself a star

don't lose it in the wishin' 

you're still while it moves far

far beyond your vision

*


refrain

ever too late to shine (co-written with my friend)

Witnessing the fascinating conjunction of Venus and Jupiter from my hostel window prompted me to revisit one of my early attempts at writing music for solo MIDI electronics. 

"Celestial Dance", composed in May 2019, is in three parts, each following the other attacca, without pause. The harmonic structure of the work is derived from the clash (conjunction!) of two diminished seventh chords, with their root notes a semitone apart. Pierre Boulez had used such a chord in Sur Incises (and Incises)  which piqued my interest in its sonority. The instrumentation albeit MIDI oriented (which allowed me to push the instrumental performance to superhuman virtuosity) is made up of the instruments Boulez used in Sur Incises - with the addition of an electronic piano and solo strings.

In January this year, we lost the great musician and drummer of YMO, Yukihiro Takahashi. As if following him, last month, Ryuichi Sakamoto also passed away. Having lost two respected musicians, I find myself without emotional support and have been creating music daily, tracing their music and lives. Unconsciously, the songs I create are heavily influenced by their music. This song is one of them. When I listen to the finished piece, I feel it somewhat resembles YMO's "Expecting Rivers." These days, I find "HOPE" in the Milky Way, the heavenly river that spans the sky.

Rivers of Aspiration

His releases is far from your average “guitar rock” project. It’s actually home to a multitude of different influences, which transcend styles and genre definitions. For this reason, David is truly an artist who’s able to use music as a mean of self-expression, making for a very diverse and forward-thinking listening experience.
If you enjoy music that goes outside the lines, this one is most definitely for you. " David combines high-level musicianship with great songwriting sensibilities, making for a unique and highly satisfying formula. "  Based  from the bandcamp diaries 
https://thebandcampdiaries.com/post/184224316602/david-f-porfirio-descarado-between-her-hair " What sets David apart is not just his technical prowess on the guitar but also his ability to use music as a powerful means of self-expression. Each release becomes a journey through a sonic landscape where emotions and ideas find a voice, making for a listening experience that is not only diverse but also forward-thinking.
