Synth track inspired by haiku by John Hinks

Deep, dark Summer night
A sudden shaft of moonlight
Blesses the temple

in pre-dawn darkness
the avant-garde soundtrack
of orchestral rainfall

poem / copyright jo richter:

nein, so häufig spricht er nicht
wenn andermund voll meinung ist
es ist eher so: er wundert sich
wie leicht sich wort von lippen löst

sich aus zusammenhang losbricht
und stolz darauf besteht, zurecht
im wahrheitslicht zu leuchten
als sei es nicht gewalt, die hier geschieht

es wirkt bedachtsam, wie sein blick
von sprecher hin zu sprecher schweift
als sehe er ein etwas, das nur er begreift

dies ist das du, das sich in willkür
zeigt, das zugehörigkeit performt
 aus leere und in nichts geformt

interlinear translation: timid // no, he does not speak that often / when others are full of themselves / it's rather like he is astonished / how easily those words and lips depart // how easily those words break free from context / insisting proudly / to rightly shine in the light of truth / as though it wasn't violence he sees first hand // it appears considerate, how his eyes / move from speaker to speaker / as though he saw something only he realizes // this is the you arbitrarily showing / performing belonging / shaped into emptiness out of nothing at all

Silence & Tears: 17 Musical Short Stories

Emptiness Inside

James is a multi-instrumentalist creator of music as well as a contemporary artist. He plays stringed instruments (guitars, cello, ukulele, bass, etc.) and uses a midi controller for any instruments he doesn't have access to; such as a timpani or a glockenspiel.

James creates music that is inspired by the pure love and joy of making music. The style of music he creates varies from piece to piece. He will go from songs that are accompanied by guitar or ukulele to full arrangements of a traditional North American band to orchestral scores that you could easily hear backing a film or video. 

By browsing his music you're likely to come across traditional pieces of music sounding as old as time and other pieces sounding as new as yesterday's jingle. 

Instruments inspire him to make new sounds come together to form music and combining old and new sounds is something he very much enjoys exploring.

While music and sounds are a big part of James' personality so is making art, graphics, and videos. James has worked professionally as a technical illustrator/graphics specialist since 1991. So James almost always creates art specifically for each piece of music he puts out into the world. The art may or may not be directly related to the piece of music in context but it will definitely give you another perspective on how the music has inspired him or makes him feel.

To learn more about James and/or see his art seek him out on Instagram.com and YouTube.com; he’s easy to find if you spell his name correctly.  A pseudonym also being used by James is Mildred Stain.
