SEIZURES - Stars Collide

Naked Sky

Infinitude Rays

You Absolute Shovel Sandwich

this fourth part of the playlist partially takes up the theme of the first track (which I would like to re-record as soon as possible) with the addition of several recordings over time starting from October 2021. 
some internal parts belong to independent projects and merged into this song.  The vocal is a voice message sent to me by the precious friend Ugo Pisco Lùmaja and has been treated with elektron octatrack mkII.  
the same sample has repeatedly used for the developing of other projects including: Last night dream pt.I 
I spent several days working out on the structure and trying to adjust the volumes to get an acceptable mix.
Hope you enjoy.

Work in progress.

Èṡili Eṡìlii (part.IV)

Method: Layering, as usual
Narration: The poem is what it is.
Picture: This is part of my original illustration for the 'tiny inclusions' series of poems this one belongs to. 

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

She kept wondering
what might have happened
to that ring she used to wear.
She can still feel its tightness
when tracing the bone in her finger.

There had been some other life,
one she cannot remember.
Traces it of it surround her
like finds on an archeological dig.
She sometimes receives calls from strangers.

The other day, she must have held
a tiny, breathing something in her arm,
caressing it with affection.
Was it a kitten? She cannot detect
any litter in her home.

Right now, she can't help counting
down the letters in the alphabet.
Nothing adds up. Therefore, the fault
lies either in the faultlines between the numbers
and the letters or it is
her turn to vanish.

in dream world
was I laughing at a turtle?
winter seclusion

Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun. If you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.

From the Haiku Guy website:

“Perhaps Issa’s dream is symbolic. Like a turtle, he is hunkered inside his shell (hut), waiting out the harsh winter weather. Or, William Nicholas offers a different interpretation, noting that the turtle is linked with good luck and longevity in Japan. In 1812 Issa was still a bachelor; he married two years later. At this point in his life he longed for the good luck of marriage and family life, hence the dream turtle’s teasing laughter?”

PL:

Wiersz Bolesława Leśmiana, który stanowił inspirację dla tego wydawnictwa towarzyszył mi przez kilka miesięcy stając się punktem wyjścia dla stworzenia muzyki mogącej stanowić soundtrack dla podróży przez bór, który opuszcza dziwaczne zwierzę powołane do życia przez poetę, jak również dźwiękową interpretację uczuć znajomych współczesnemu człowiekowi: chaosu, bezradności, prób zrozumienia otaczającej rzeczywistości - niezwykle złożonej i dynamicznie się zmieniającej - i odnalezienia się w niej na wielu płaszczyznach.

Od strony muzycznej wszystkie utwory powstały na drodze eksperymentu i improwizacji z użyciem cyfrowego, analogowego i akustycznego instrumentarium.

EN:

The poem by Bolesław Leśmian, which inspired this album, accompanied me for several months, becoming the starting point for creating music that could become a soundtrack for traveling through the forest, which is being left behind by the bizarre animal brought to life by the poet, as well as a sound interpretation of the feelings familiar to modern people: chaos , helplessness, attempts of understanding the surrounding reality - extremely complex and dynamically changing - and finding our place in it in many aspects.

On the strictly musical side, all tracks were created through experimentation and improvisation using digital, analog and acoustic instruments.
