Brilliant Aura ACAPPELLA (Featuring diamondlajolie)

method: layering, understanding which kind of noise suits where
narration: what happens to characters in children‘s stories after the fairy-tale‘s told? to follow up on grimm‘s tale of two children lost in the woods, this soundscape drowns the first and the last poem of my kaleidoscope-cycle in apt kinds of noise. this static arises along the edges, ledges, margins and rims where the uncollected and recollected protrudes into the unknown. ah, the wind sings!

poem 1 (originally title: morvarid) /copyright jo richter:

All Gretchen‘s life
she had made haste
to catch up on
refractions of her youth,

yet all the scattered
crumbs of light only
led her deeper and
deeper into the dark:

The world‘s a forest -
she placed her bounty
on a tree stump – with
sugar-coated death
patiently waiting
for her to arrive.


poem 2 (original title: yeohanan) /copyright jo richter:

By and by, Hänsel lost sight
of everyone. His parents vanished
in the maze of their empty pantry.
His sister, he lost in the dark.
He then left the forest, simply,
and was shanghaied in a hustle.

Having crossed the equator
on numerous seas, he managed
to blindside the crew and be left behind
on some remote jungle island.

Blinded by the bright
southern sun, he lived on
in a kaleidoscope world, con-
fusing himself for light‘s shadow.

motion without spirit

headphones that allow for deep bass recommended (you'll feel vibrations all through your physical shape - the way a spider would) 

method: the instrument seen in the picture was made for this song - I wanted to start out with direct vibration via a contact microphone. it is hardly dicernable, however, as it forms the basis for timestrech and shoegaze. two vst instruments (chinese flute, humming choir). voice. 
narration: a second hommage to spiders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anansi , after koyangwuti

anansi / copyright jo richter:

tracheensinne
aufnahmebereit
was schwingt, wird spinne
netzspannenweit

jede bewegung
bebt nach, lyriform
luftdruck, geistdehnung
erregungskonform

kürbishaut spannt sich
kuticular
ums hohlorgan ich
schon weise, noch narr

interlinear translation: anansi // trachea senses / ready to receive / what vibrates becomes spider / as far as the net reaches // every movement / vibrates, lyriform / air pressure, mental expansion / adapting to the action potential // melon skin stretches / cuticular / around the hollow I- organ / already sage, still foolish

LOOKING AT YOU, THE PICTURE SAYS A MILLION WORDS
JUST LOOK AT YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

THINKING OF YOU, I COUNT THE DAYS THE WEEKS THE YEARS
I THINK I KNEW, A WAY TO FIND ANOTHER YOU

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....

I WISHED FOR YOU, BUT NEVER ONCE DID BREAK THE BONE
STILL LOVING YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....
(BREAK)
I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON

Latest Updates: 
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 CD set. 2016 consists of a 4 CD set.
If you would like to listen to more of Magician, especially retro older tracks please checkout Bandcamp (see link below).
Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. Favourite artists/bands include Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
