Maputo . Short version.

method: initial recording (subharmonicon through pedals, voice imprint) enhanced by vst instruments
narration: romantic notions of returning to an unspoilt world, not shying away from consulting all kinds of mystic ideas (which usually make good storytelling but, unfortunately, also  bad conspiracy theories)

poem / copyright jo richter:

the world before moonrise
pre-tidal, pre-warped
mitwelt und inkreis *
lore hummed and harped

denisovian bloodline
pulsating throughout
trau nicht dem anschein **
imposters stand proud

we still hide and hum
in well-concealed places
laut, aus dem welt kam ***
mothering mazes

a circle, a songline
all surface, no brink
werden ist dasein ****
what rises will sink

* relational environment and inner circle
** do not trust semblances
*** sound, from which the world emanated
**** becoming is being

all surface

If we are doomed, I wanna be doomed with you
And if we got to be doomed, I wanna be doomed with you
Just round the corner, just down the street
I know what’s been waiting there for me.

If we are doomed, I wanna be doomed with you
And if we got to be doomed, I wanna be doomed with you
On the day that the lord gave us life gave us breath
Turned us out in the street said good luck with the rest.

If we are doomed, I wanna be doomed with you
And if we got to be doomed, I wanna be doomed with you
Even up on the hill alone and forsaken 
All is doubt all is doom, but I pray I’m mistaken,

You and I, we’re two birds of a feather.
If we got to be doomed, let’s be doomed together.

Once I believed in an endless life
Until I come face-to-face with an endless night 
And if I got to be doomed I wanna be doomed with you
Go on sing the psalms, all that you’re certain of.
I’m certain of nothing except for your love.

You and I, we’re two birds of a feather.
If we got to be doomed let’s be doomed together.

When I think about it I get terrified
So I give you a call in the dead of night
Cause if we got to be doomed, I wanna be doomed with you
We come into this place unnamed and unknown
Ain’t it too much to bear leaving all alone.

If we are doomed I wanna be doomed with you.
And if we got to be doomed, I wanna be doomed with you.

Doomed With You

Musical Moment № 8 - Improvised Piano Piece

In the haunting depths of this classical composition, the ominous overture begins with a low, foreboding rumble, echoing the ancient corridors of Dracula's castle. The strings emerge with a mournful melody, weaving a sense of mystery and impending doom. As the piece progresses, the brass section introduces powerful and menacing motifs, resonating like the ominous footsteps of the immortal Count.

The composition explores the dark and brooding atmosphere of Dracula's realm, with the woodwinds whispering eerie tales and the percussion section punctuating the air with a sense of impending danger. The haunting choir adds a spectral dimension, their voices rising and falling like ghostly echoes through the centuries.

Throughout the piece, the tempo shifts, and the dynamics fluctuate, creating a sense of tension and release. The music builds to climactic moments, reflecting the intensity of encounters with the legendary vampire. Yet, even in moments of quietude, an underlying sense of unease persists, mirroring the perpetual shadow that follows Dracula.

The composition's final notes linger, leaving a chilling resonance that captures the essence of the immortal Count's dark and enigmatic presence. This classical masterpiece serves as a sonic journey into the heart of darkness, a musical narrative that pays homage to the eternal allure of Dracula and the macabre world he inhabits.
