method: plain reading, no frills, even breathing is still audible
narration: it's spring. the title refers to an aesthetic category introduced by alexander gottlieb baumgarten (1714-1762). the 'expatriate poet' referred to is peter russell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Russell_(poet) and also https://www.emt.it/riviste/marginalia/Marginalia17.pdf (1994) .... the 'first child' was of course mine, not pr's. any autobiographical relations, though, are purely incidental .... poetry is a category of fiction after all.

poem / copyright jo richter:

in the harsh light of a spring noon
the darling buds of leaves turn vibrant
early flowers rejoice in voluptuous infamy

he looks at the sketch of a tea mug
resplendent with exterior colour, then
realizes the real mug in front of the empty canvas

all the houses around him sport antennas
dishes, connecting them to the unseen
unheard, intangible levity of the pertinent ether

once, he spent a fortnight in tuscany
met an expatriate poet who lived in a mill
writing on in the tradition of ezra pound

his first child still had to be carried, then
bulging in front of his chest, strapped tightly
with a length of blue cloth, iridescent

he takes in all of this transient splendour
as a plane's tremor rips open his awareness membrane
reminding him of the first lines of eliot's waste land

gnoseologia inferior (plain reading)

This is a variation of a sort on a musical fragment which appears in the theme  music for the TV series 'All Creatures great and Small' and also in  the first movement of my Tripartite Fantasy and is  constructed as a free flowing set of improvisations on a simple basic idea This simple idea is treated in a linear polyphonic way resulting in a texture which moves between consonant and dissonant harmony ending on a C major chord.
N.B. A similar musical idea treated in a much different way also appears in the first movenent of my Tripartite Faantasy posted here: https://soundcloud.com/julian-cafarella/allegro-vivace-for-chamber-orchestra
This version was mastered by John Cafarella

Welcome to halF unusuaL, an evolving space inspired by play in the spirit of ‘hai’ (meaning “fun” or “unusual” in the word haiku). Here, improvisation connects the unexpected, mining the boundary between music and non-music to shape sound worlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity. Listen freely, explore deeply, and for the sounds to live for your eyes as well as your ears, please stop by the YouTube channel. Thank you for joining this journey! Your support helps keep this afloat ... and is HUGELY appreciated 🥰
