All The Dogs You Ever Loved Will Be Waiting For You In The Afterlife

We invite you to hear the 2nd of three album preview pieces.

“Practical guide to shamanism for young people”,
Is from the album “Above a Darkness of Earth.”

Paulo Chagas initiated this trio piece with his wind instrument part. Henry Koek added many sound textures in addition to his voice, I finished with percussion and my MaaTeeSaa1 sounds.

This piece continues the shamanist inspired tone of the album.

Cold City (lyrics: Y.A.)
----------

Cold city wires us up
to the crispy 
winter lanes
to the chimes and bells of rust

We are fragile

Are we still warm in her hands?
Are we the aftermath of her night?
Are we her crumbling body of bread?

Cold city swallows us up
every morning
she takes us down
with her first coffee cup

We are fragile

Are we her little wicked friends?
Are we her nausea at breakfast?
Are we her crumbling body of bread?

She dusts the crumbles
off her teeth 
her pointed teeth
puts on her million fancy gowns

We are fragile

Are we her foxy lady friends?
Are we her agents of the dawn?
Or just her crumbling body of bread?

Cold city is the ageless queen
snowless
and dark 
with icicles she writes upon our skin

That we are fragile

Cold City: In Her Hands

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
True regret
In this life
True regret
In this…
She lies awake at night
Haunted by that day
The price forever pay
Alive but dead inside
True regret
In this life
True regret
In this…
Greeted by the face of truth
Can’t deny mistakes we’ve made
Defined by careless youth
Now until the grave
True regret
In this life
True regret
In this…

True Regret

poem / copyright jo richter:

die epimetheus ouvertüre
war kaum verklungen,
da traten schon die schatten
aus ihren konturen und
senkten leis theaterschwingen:

welch liebliches lärmen, göttliches getöse
durchfurchte die  ränge, die hoffend ersparten


interlinear translation: epimetheus // the epimetheus ouverture / had hardly finished / when the shadows stepped / out of their contours and /  lowered their theatre wings without a noise: // what a a beautiful noise, what a divine thunder / rang through the ranks which had been saved for by hoping

Quick Opal Jam 06042025

The dark: the recent passing of friend Paul Schreiber, owner of Synthesis Technology. Along with fellow rocket scientists Eric Brombaugh and Robert Rich, he engineered the E370 Quad Morphing VCO which I use everyday. He was a true genius, a snarky story-teller, a good hearted guy. I felt honored just to know him, occasionally helping with some demos and testing on various modules.

The light: the new addition to the family, as pictured
