Bouncing Back

This is the second in the Departure series of experimental soundscapes that are inspired by a set of 13 poems (or 'cantos') written by Jo Richter a.k.a. Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches @sonic-structures. I was honored thatJo invited me to collaborate with him on this project, it has really helped to push me in some new creative directions.

This second track in the series, features field recordings from Zuunzug. He offers them up for download on this page: @zuunzug-field-recording under the Creative Commons license (CC BY 3.0) ... The ones I used are Save Beograd, Novi Sad, and Waves Over Seashells.  I think they add a lot of great atmospheric texture!

The poetry is copyright Jo Richter. I have only extracted a small sample of the original poem, so please read the full text below if you are interested in the original context for the spoken word, also read by Jo Richter.

And you can follow along with this project here. This playlist so far includes one other song (2 different versions) from me and Stonerjazz, based on Canto VI, but we intend to add more in the coming months:

Here is the full text of Departure - Canto II, the inspiration for this track:
(Copyright Jo Richter)

To allow for rest, you need to make sure
that you do not fall asleep right in
harm‘s way. You need to put your trust
in crude projections of the path and thrust
of entities and processes that do not cease
activity when your awareness takes its leave.
There are no guardian spirits to protect
you when consciousness bows out.

When – as a growing child who learns to use
his wits to regulate the forces that en-
compass him – he had to learn to abdicate
his mental skills, his reason and his
social prowess, just to give in to sleep,
he felt the force of dread that did
not hesitate to bring forth monsters from
the cracks that rooms and psyches offer.

Out foraging for all the goods that people,
parks and pastures proffer, he‘d often felt
assailed by sudden drowsiness that swept him
from the inside out into the open street
and very nearly drowned him in the gutter.
The force that urged him cannily to sidestep
reason, did not protect him from approaching cars,
as though it were an arbitrary arbiter of life.

It had been then, in dire need of shelter,
that he had stepped into the cool, comforting
splendour of the spire that reached into
what lays beyond. To master words, he
had been warned, will never do,
if you aspire to tame the threat of
letting go. I‘m here, he‘d said, to enter
a frame of mind, a larger self, a sphere of

actuality that never passes out, even in the
deepest state of slumber, trance or trauma,
even when the archetypes invade
my daily reasoning with brutal presence, as
they do. To master words, his muse replied
with her bemused DaVinci-grin, is quite
amusing, once you find the time to ponder
and to muse about the situation you are in.

Splendor Of The Spire (Departure Mix 2): inspired by Jo Richter's Canto II poem - full text in desc.

Lyrics
Overdrive
Let’s rock it to the groove let the vibe run it’s course 
I ain’t hiding from nobody it’s mask off
Holding all the keys underground and endorsed
And I’m bringing so much heat baby it’s time to defrost 
Nothing up my sleeve still the boss with the sauce
Just relax to the beat—I’m about to set off
I’m about to set it off…

I Want more out of life besides stumbling blocks 
give me love give me music and the doors will unlock
Got me navigate through this Damn gridlock 
But my attitude is pure hip-hop
ground floor—-charging up 
going straight to the top 
max level —-overdrive 
outlaw rebel —-still alive

Attitude—-HipHop
Love it when the beat drops 
blazing when I heat up 
break out the sunblock 
raising levels nonstop 
ready for the aftershock
Watch-’em crumble—- on my way to the top
Lemme take you just a little bit deeper
Hoodie on my head—- like I am the Grim Reaper
Hang on tight as I take a little detour
Can’t resist the allure of the women or liquor

Just a little Taste —-leave you wanting more 
got the rock in my hand ——and I’m about to score 
success taste sweet —-this much I’m sure 
no defeat—-no retreat —-It’s an all out war 
condition for the heat —-elite hard-core 
about to bless another beat—- that what I’m here for 
might be easy but not cheap—-so what’s your best offer
What’s your best offer?

ANY OLD THING….

A pulsing layered rock dirge about being stuck in the eating utensils of giants or unnoticed between the typeset of discarded newspapers. Bat! Bi! Hiru! Lau! We've all been there!
