High on the Airplane

Resting In The Dark -  Shane Beck & Walter Fini

method: mostly real instruments through pedals, mostly parallax, vo1 and vt4; only bass via vst --- contact microphones on plastic cheese wrappings do tally as real instruments, don't they?
narration: actually, beyond the surface drama, this is quite a funny poem ... don't tell!

poem / copyright jo richter:

gasping, we stood in the carpeted entrance hall
Dr Malström, the psychiatrist , and I
enchanted by an automaton's hapless ritual
of smiling while fuses shorted and lit up to fry
 
on the wall, there were vials holding noses and lips
peculiar animal shapes - this is the I about to die
a hoarse voice boomed from a lectern made of Freudian slips
as I beheld Malström rouguishly melt down and liquefy
 
giving in to the succulent pull of the corridor
the most vivid, amazing realizations rushed by
each one more compelling, more truthful, more
enthralling, more eagerly willing to make me comply
 
when I passed a sinkhole, a pipe, in dad's slippers
girls roping skippers, all skinny dippers, cast in a die
to be cast, least but not last, my flippers
aghast, beast beached on Mars, all oceans run dry
 
settled into a nutshell, crustacean, my mind
grew a finely elongated stalk to carry my eye
which did not blink for millenia, utterly blind
for seeing affirms what it yearned to deny
 
time to be back, some voice broke through
as alien as familiar, neither brazen nor shy
just factual, stating the obvious, giving no clue
of the workings behind it, but real enough to de-petrify

gasping we stood

Angry and Delusional

A nice moment of nostalgia...
Don't try to follow the beat, just close your eyes and start the journey.

Tasi

muzică compusă în întregime cu samplerul de sintetizator E-mu Emulator II+! Sunetele provin dintr-o colecție foarte veche de presetări și sunt potrivite pentru a compune o melodie în stil synthpop! Să spun adevărul, nu este complet perfect deoarece este puțin repetitiv, dar melodia merge bine cu acompaniamentul! Toată muzica a fost înregistrată live și direct!

I make electronic music that feeds on the tension between structure and emotion, melody and noise, control and collapse. It’s textured, cinematic, and built to hold a mood. Influences include soundtrack composers, 80's radio, industrial textures, and a nostalgia for places and lives that never existed.
