listening to your voice up close in my mind

such a strong and beautiful chorus your voice is so soaring

Aww man!!! This is a friggin awesome song! Great vocals. Love the bass line. Epic production.

such a difficult style to pull off both professionally yet organically, you guys do it so well! wow!

Canzone molto bella, sia dal punto di vista vocale che strumentale ... ottimo lavoro!

Heart Of Time - Original by Frontecielo

A piece that probably recall a mix of different influences,also maybe fleetingly my enjoyment of tango in style of Piazzolla, that I like for being so lively, passionate and tragic at the same time.The thought of the title went to a kindred of mine playing accordion long long time ago...

Happy to say that the very skilled & talented Morten Jeamland has made another Remix of my song Longing (original was a draft of mine that MJ reworked to another level). Huge thanks again! Truly lucky to be collaborating with such great musicians on here. Let us know what you think about this one!

Longing (Morten Jeamland Remix)

Method: Sometimes it's easy getting some pedals in a row .... dealing with the outcome, though, is quite a different issue.
Narration: This is an older poem that wanted to get out and breathe some fresh air.
Illustration: This is an actual item from the days when I still created large-scale poemscapes for the visual senses. 

poem / copyright jo richter:

their young tend to vanish
just like the old ones used to
for the lure of the other
and the bait of the same

Green Balloon

I am flying away
In a green baloon
Looking the moon
Looking the sea

I feel so peace
I feel so love
I feel the way
We can see

The real things
To realize
That's more to see
Up and down

To live the life
To think high
Is what we do
Is what we know

Green Baloon

C-Piazza Barberini

Woodland trail.

method: sounds from field recording, voice (just another instrument, I guess) and toy harp (the one seen in the picture) via pedals
narration: that cult is one of the oldest we know of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirah
picture: taken by myself on the banks of the argen river

poem / copyright jo richter:

scales in the sun
sparkling, bright
liminal lisping
seductive sight

coiled conundrum
confusing, tight
contorting circles
cymatic tide

slender senses
snaking the void
looking for loves
and lives to exploit

cuneiform letters
pressed into clay
where there is beauty
predators prey

connecting the cosmos
completing the course
ligament nexus
umbilical force

nirah of nippur

The Path Of Mirages

The idea for this piece and lyrics was initially born from trying to describe that particular moment when our mind is going to surrender to sleep, ready to break its mooring from things and events of the day and external world and it's getting ready  and open to enter in its own deeper world...
Sometimes, in that moment, in that passage, in that limbo,  something quite special and magic may happen... a flash of inspiration may suddenly lights, an idea, a decision, an answer, a consciousness, 
sudden and unexpected, from who knows where...sometimes the inspiration of a melody, a music, a notes sequence... 
From that initial cue the lyrics took on a more globally existential meaning.

THE LIGHT NOW

You're trying to return where you belong 
and slow down your running 
this time is coming now to make you strong 
till a new daylight 
your eyes embrace the dark wings of the night 
they promise a sweet flight

And you realize that 
everything starts to melt 
and slowly to stream down 
like wet paint on a canvas
but just before the outlines fade 
away down the tunnel 
a new vision's flashing on 
sharp contours and perfect colours 

here is the light now 
here is the magic 
here are the answers 
here is the strength now 
here is the gateway 
here is the consciousness 

It's time to decide now 
the path is lit up 
too little time to be pure 
too much  to be damned 
there's nothing to return to 
and no one who returns 
and you know there's only one way to fly
you have to dare to do it

SAND MAN


Sand man
I'm the wind that sweeps you away

Unable to decide what you like
what you think
you borrow someone else's thoughts
going with the herd
no urge , no opinions, no ideals or talking points
just following the back of the one in front of you
 
Sand man
I'm the wind that sweeps you away

You could never rise from the ground without dispersing
in a thousand grains of  fear
can you hear...?
can you hear me coming closer?
just a breath to dissipate you
I'm the wind that sweeps you away

Uncatchable like sand
tasteless like your own life
can't remenber you as I can't recall your words
looking through your window
can you tell me what you see?
I'm sure, surprising nothingness
image of yourself

Sand man
I'm the wind that sweeps you away

Sand Man - Frontecielo
