Name: Beat I by Terror's Tentative Tapes
Duration: 3 min 7 s
Description: I think this is a beat. At least it started as a beat. I had a drum pattern with some quirky foley sounds and then a synth melody. It was a loop, then I set-out to arrange it as a beat, but then I added some more flavour to the chords in the B section and then I started feeling like a synth solo and then it became this thing. I'm still calling it a beat. Beat I.

The space in the music, the sound is awesome, a great track to disappear in 😍  Great synths and melodies!

This is a song that my friend Tez sent me from across the pond in Manchester. Wheni got it, it was a sequence of acoustic guitar chords. I added clothing to it by way of slide, mandolin, piano, and organ. Tez says it reminds him of Pillow of Winds by Pink Floyd. I like that comparison, but it's definitely its own song. Hope you enjoy!

A while ago, I completed a batch of tracks, most of which were purposefully underproduced. That is to say, they were intentionally finished early on in the production process. The idea was an experiment in technical minimalism, to see if my tracks might benefit from a leaner sound. I don’t mean strict minimalism, but I do mean less ear candy and a lower track count.

This track was part of that batch, but I just couldn’t leave it alone and so it’s the most worked-on of the bunch. It’s an uplifting, riff-driven track with dubstep leanings and a dark, simplistic bass line. The dubstep elements are strictly old, old school, ‘cause I’d had my fill by the time Skrillex came along.  

It kind of harkens back to the 90's in some respects, but then much of my work is like that, what with me having my formative musical experiences in that era. I do hope those vintage rave vibes keep it interesting.

If this one strokes your familiar, then please do ‘like’, comment and repost. I genuinely hope that you’ll let me know if you agree with the write-up, or whether you feel that it’s inaccurate - sometimes I get so absorbed in a piece that I lose the ability to see the wood for the trees… However you feel about it, thank you for listening.

This track is more or less an accident.

Method: Layering, as usual
Narration: The poem is what it is.
Picture: This is part of my original illustration for the 'tiny inclusions' series of poems this one belongs to. 

Poem / copyright jo richter:
(as published in: Tiny Inclusions, in: Auslegpapier)

She kept wondering
what might have happened
to that ring she used to wear.
She can still feel its tightness
when tracing the bone in her finger.

There had been some other life,
one she cannot remember.
Traces it of it surround her
like finds on an archeological dig.
She sometimes receives calls from strangers.

The other day, she must have held
a tiny, breathing something in her arm,
caressing it with affection.
Was it a kitten? She cannot detect
any litter in her home.

Right now, she can't help counting
down the letters in the alphabet.
Nothing adds up. Therefore, the fault
lies either in the faultlines between the numbers
and the letters or it is
her turn to vanish.

Lapses

We all go through rough times
Bleeding souls, hearts, and minds
Not much shelter to find
Maybe Hell will be nice
Cause Earth is cold as ice

Satan give solace tonight

For only the evil shall fear the beast
For the rest of us death shall be a relief

Satan Give Solace

Damned Lullaby - Music & Lyrics by REKHA

The nights cold and boundless
I’m harrowed in the dark
The nights without you Dear
I can not survive
How shall I go on?
How shall I live?
Without any purpose
An Eden so far
An Eden so far

Catch me I’m falling, falling
Out of my mind into my own grave
I lay in the wretched ruins
Of my Damned Lullaby

Smeared in your ashes
I long only to die
Pierced with your memory
A mournful lullaby
No one can save me
My weakness prevails
Livid am I
Can not find the way out
An Eden so far

Flashes of us rising
Burning my mind
Etched in your love
Why do I choose to remain?
My wild wicked heathen
So cruel and untrue
To a heart that’s so gentle
So pure and so true
An Eden so far

Beat I
