StirrrrrrrrrrrrrrRrrrrrrrrrrrruth!!!  So We Livd!!!!!!!!

made for good headphones

method: harp, drumsticks, voice, shoegaze, etc
narration: in my mind, there's been this convoluted, overly-complex story playing out about a diplomat losing a note on a sidewalk and media spinning its content into disrespect and all that .... when all this poem really is about is a reminder to mentally adapt to and cater for the usual range of diversity, I guess.

poem / copyright jo richter:

all those who come here
hold dear what they fear
most in attendance
are in ego-state trance
some of those present
are neurodivergent
while we'd long to see
more of those thriving on empathy

Πάω, εκεί που αγαπάω 
Που δε φοβάμαι πια να ζω
Δεν έχω θέλω, δεν έχω πρέπει, 
Μα στην αλήθεια θα σταθώ και έχω αέρα

Ότι και αν βλέπω, του επιτρέπω, 
Να υπάρχει και αυτό με ένα μέτρο
Πάω, εκεί που αγαπάω 
Και δε φοβάμαι να πονώ, αφού αντέχω

Δεν έχω χρόνο για εσάς αφού σου το πα
Δεν έχω μάτια για να δω μισοκλεισμένα
Δεν έχω μάτια για να βλέπω άλλο εσένα
Δεν έχω μάτια για να δω δεν είμαι εδώ

Πάω, εκεί που δεν πονάω
Εκεί που νιώθω τη χαρά εκεί θα πάω
Και θα γελάω
Μέχρι να φύγω, να χαθώ, θα μαρτυράω

Δεν πιστεύεις, και αγριεύεις, 
Μα δε με νοιάζει πια αυτό, το τι πιστεύεις 
Και αν νηστεύεις 
Έχω χορτάσει από ζωή γι’ αυτό πεθαίνω

Δεν έχω χρόνο για εσάς αφού σου το πα
Δεν έχω μάτια για να δω μισοκλεισμένα
Δεν έχω μάτια για να βλέπω άλλο εσένα
Δεν έχω μάτια για να δω δεν είμαι εδώ

I Go Where Love Is

Gone are the days

Standing Tall And Ready

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.
