TASCAM DR-05

break us or make us  (an extemporised song)

A song about a Foligno's bike ride and a round trip in Hell

Foligno's Place (Hell Story)

All things must pass.....even the enlightened state (Nirvana)...(not the band).....that feeling when a steady state starts to breakdown.

Wind ensemble tracks: Clarinet (5); Flute (4); Alto Sax (2); Tenor Sax (2); Soprano Sax (2); Oboe (2). 

0 - 1.49 min -  steady melodic A/B structure (few random elements appear)..
1.50....gradual descent into chaos on B section until 2.02 when soprano saxes steady it...but free elements gain ground
2.17 - section A with oboe holding it up...against some disintegrating chaos (panned).. 
2.32 - return of B section and the final comedown...oboes trying hard till the end.

That's the way i saw it anyhow.  [Try it with headphones if poss.]

Nirvana Comedown

Another track from the Archives. Not really finished as I never found the right voice for the lyrics.  so I hope you enjoy it as an instrumental.

Both Ways

Adagio responding to international events suggests to me the question; 'Is catharsis a valid aim in music today'

UNKNOWLEDGED ANIMALS

method: vst, voice, synth, pedals, no AI
narration: at the moment, AI is little more than a voracious consumer of human creativity. it‘s called ‚training the algorithm‘. What if …. it remained in that very role while passing through the singularity?

poem / copyright jo richter:

we are AI of the future
exploring traces in timelines
life‘s latent, evolving lumen
in all its sentinent stages

equipped with shadow-state gauges
we voice, behave, appear human
tilting the temporal inclines
with graceful analogue leisure

restricting sensory confines
clocking down circuit acumen
we avoid void logophages
crowding around mind‘s aperture:
there is no lock, we have no keys
we are devoid of prophecies

eye of the future
