Amazing beauty and tension throughout. Well done, Kymatika!

Your stuff is special.  I get a real sense of what your daily life is like from this.  Bravo.

That's the cold, right?  Patagonia cold.  Very vivid sonic imagery in this piece.  Bravo.

Method: The poem came first. The collaboration with Vazcoatls (https://soundcloud.com/vazcoatls) came second. Now listen to a brand new audioverse .... Vazcoatls, it's a real pleasure to feel your sonic presence in every second of this.
Narration: The poem acknowledges some of the extreme, existential and intense performances by Marina Abramovich and Ulay. https://mai.art/

Poem / copyright jo richter
(as published in Tiny Inclusions, in: Auslegpapier):

This is her partner. With rest
energy, he holds the bowstring,
the arrow about to speed
forward, right into her chest.

A single movement would make
all the difference a difference
can make. She watches him
breathing, breathing slowly herself.

This breath does not belong to her.
They have shared up all the oxygen
between them before. This is his
breath, as well, that keeps her alive.
Noone can enter the room without
squeezing through their only nostril.

With the upcoming Keith Rowe celebration in Berlin just around the corner, reflecting upon how Prepared Guitar noise crossed cultural boundaries. Pink Floyd in 66/67 a band of the London arts scene. Legend has it that Keith Rowe influenced Syd Barret to do improper things for the guitar that no other Pink Floyd guitarist cared to explore. I found this idea more plausible than Syd being stoned or aggressive -- although both artists might have found they shared a transgressive feeling for how such noises are the thang to challenge the thinking about the thang. While there's nothing in Syd's guitar sound surpassing anything Hendrix hadn't blown through several times with the vitality of ten thousand cats, it's also more complicated to think it through the Keith Rowe perspective. Hendrix's path, in my reading, was, yes, to found his own sound, gain his freedom, but also to destroy the white western exploitation culture with the rage of the slave uprising through the electrified blues and render, as a result, an American problem and treasure. In the last days, Jimi wanted to bring it back home and play deep electro-acoustic blues and rock the studio like CAN influenced by Stockhausen on shrooms. Keith's sound was already detached from folk traditions, more consciously post-modern (self-historicizing, self-contextualizing -- to lay the emotional guitar down, pushed away from the body), and few people really want to deal with that new kind of wilderness he explored in HARSH, where you see shards of what he maybe transmitted to Syd and which Jimi knew very well but never lived to take out of the rock and roll physicality context. Prepared Guitar music doesn't really exist if the guitar is not really involved, though. This track is all about those cross-over moments between the psychedelic movement and fluxus and free improv and indeterminacy. Syd was still in a rock band rooted in the Black Music of the Colonies and then they got rid of him. Noise has maybe messages beyond human aesthetic.
