Introspection

method: sound sources (crave, voice, field recordings, behringer swing into samplitude – cello, choir, chapel organ ) and recording and morphing devices (zoom r20, samplitude)
narration: the cycle ON PRINTING deals with projections, representations, pattern recognition, the energy of awareness, objectification and the like. it consists of six poems: rubble - horse - relic - spawn - banner- offset. this poem sonified is banner and banner wards off intrusion. I remember writing this poem as an act of self-defence on a train ride with sonically extensive human beings …..

poem (as published in
A Single Loop of Fortunes) /
copyright jo richter: 

the acoustic weaves hoisted
fold tightly around
this moment, this place -
envelop the traveller too weary
to cling to the counterpoint
of silence within

not composed
of anything but surfaces rough
and unaligned, these clusters
loudly crash
like bergs in the icy sea

oh for the mean me-ness
of every voice that
drowns out common
respite

JayDee Martin joins Personal Belongings family with 'Pray', a beautiful gem combining Deep and Organic influences in a gorgeous piece of music.

Atmospheric vocals, natural percussion and charming harmonies set the perfect mood, enhanced further by Maqar on remix duties - who builds the  remake based on a warm, cozy bassline perfect for the beach.

Guilty pleasures:

1.  70's synth wig-outs
2.  Guitars put through modern amps with fuzz, ping-pong delay and a s**t load of reverb
3. Mellotron choirs...

ESP (Weaponised)

I started playing around with digital music creation in my early twenties, but I have always been haunted by a quote from Theo Parrish who said that he is "not comfortable with convenience replacing artistry", meaning that you need to put effort into learning and mastering the skills in order to bring something good. I studied computer science and have a passion for logics and programming and somehow my lack of any musical background has kept me from publishing any of my works.

Many years later I got inspired by an interview with Thomas Fehlmann where he explained how the focus in his work is not on the result so much but on the process itself. How the process is a "source of expression" and something he just feels he has to do. This resonated with me and I realised that it's ok to be an autodidact in music and it's ok to make music just for the sake of making music. I make music for me and if you, dear listener, like it along the way I'm very happy about that.

I am inspired by nature, natural processes and the interaction we have with them. Organic asymmetric fractal patterns that are rooted in logic but unpredictable as they express. How a particular stormy night can affect the shape and growth of a plant for years to come.

I use Bitwig Studio to create my tracks.
