Ouroboros

NOTE: SOUNDCLOUD UPLOAD PROCEDURESS ARE BASICALLY BROKEN. DEATH BY CATERING FOR AN INDUSTRY, NOT PEOPLE.


method: taking the sl 2 (and some other pedals) for a ride into lush territories and then  being rigidly minimalist in the initial mixing … the initial mixing, yes …. things evolved a bit on the longish side, though ... I hope the endeavour is worth your while …. there will be carmenta pt2 soon, then employing the (older but less menue-diving) sl 20 pedal

narration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmenta – creating categories on the fringes of the unconscious tends to corrupt perception which is why the number of sibyls (or fates, or muses) varies dramatically over time and cultural stages – even if you do not hear it at first, the full poem is included in this soundscape

image: a fridge magnet (made of fake marble and adorned with a tourist version of the etruscan alphabet) was purchased at the gift shop in the villa giulia in rome which houses the etruscan museum. I went there more than a decade ago and very much enjoyed mostly empty showrooms at year’s end, much to my delight. The electronic gear also shown is a lot more recent and the overall mesh-up-art is just nice as is- long live gimp  ;-) copyright jo richter

poem / copyright jo richter
(actually, the poem is titled ETRURIA. For this album, however, three syllables  are mandated which is why I chose the name of the sibyl referred to, carmenta, who is supposed to have shifted the spelling of the letters to create the etruskan alphabet, later inspiring the „latin“ letters):

aporia
aporia
all new shapes to
praise carmenta

dolphins leap through
arcs made of waves
to welcome the new
lines, strokes and staves

etruria
euphoria
raise your caverna
and praise carmenta

carmenta pt 1

One More Life

Hello again Listeners,

 Hope I'm not overloading you, but here's another of our recent 
 ambient/contemporary classical improvs. I have several weeks of 
 recordings i'm going though and just wish to share the best.

 Far from virtuosity, we seem to discover the 'Feels' and 'Flows' that 
 organically emerge from our musical conversations.
 
 And btw... this is an Homage to All who have found their way.

 
Anomon is on his Kawai ES7 Stage Piano, and illio is on his kinda Gypsy Classical Guitar.

May you enJOY even half as much as we did!  :-D
