A wonderful title from a poem by Dylan Thomas that includes wise men, good men, wild men, and grave men, each raging against the dying of the light. The track itself features what sounds like a combo of pipes and other metal objects being banged, thumped, etc. A carefully orchestrated cacophany of these various moving parts, high pitched and low, makes up the track to which I'm listening.

wonderful dark, foreboding soundscapes.... Great work!

Here's another track from our new album .... https://kirby-ward.bandcamp.com/album/rat-palace-sessions
The Rat Palace was our studio from when we first started seriously working together in 2016 until the landlords decided it was time for the artists to go and the tourists to come. It had been Mat's base since 2009 and hosted dozens of artists and musicians since it first started in 2006.
As the name suggests the place was run down, lacked various things like hot water, proper access and heating but it had a vibe, and the people we shared the space with all felt and helped to create it....Art was everything, day after night after day for years.
These 7 improvisations are a tiny fraction of the jams we had there, just a few highlights from 100s of jams. They are raw, unpolished and unconcerned with anything outside the moment. We rarely 'rehearsed' as such at the Rat Palace - just played.
Things come and things go - Vale Rat Palace, you were amazing.

Kirby/Ward - Swamp Fuzz

method: field recordings, virtual instruments, voice
narration: some of the dirty secrets of self-awareness in relationships ... and one way of dealing with them; this also is an exercise in recovering the integrity of poems that have been belittled, willfully ignored  and poked fun at quite some time ago
image: actually, the device depicted - called a multimemo - before the image was distorted, that is - is included in creating this soundscape, which was somewhat inspired by and refers to elo-covers ....  although those are quite different .... the cover for an album called 'out of the blue'' and the  cover for an album  a friend understood to mean "disco - very". He was a genius musician who already earned an entertainer's income while going to middle school in the 1970s  ... thanks to his hammond and his talent. Only in later years did I understand myself....  that the syncretism of 'disc', 'discovery' and the images of ali baba and a uap is an astonishing feat in itself. copyright jo richter.

poem / copyright jo richter
(as published in 'halb loh, halb zunder, halb glanz):

als sie nicht mehr logen
fühlten sie sich bloß
wie tiere ohne fell
wie fische ohne meer
ein jeder wind blies kalt
im ozean aus luft

sie rezitierten laut
ihr alphabet der furcht
wieder und wieder
im hoffen auf götter
der himmel blieb leer

bis auf zwei vögel

die kreisten auf suche
nach beute und fleisch

interlinear translation; apart from two birds // when they had stopped lying / they felt as naked / as animals without fur / as fish without the seas / and each kind of wind / blew with a chill in the airy oceans // they chanted out loud / their alphabet of fear / again and again / hoping for gods / when heavens remained empty // apart from two birds // circling, looking / for fresh prey and meat //

bis auf zwei vögel
