Everything

A Moment in Time

image, composition, sounds and lyrics: copyright jo richter

filling spaces with presence
sonic spheres extend, overlap
forsaking compliant silence
wings are made to flail and flap

giving in to muscular tension
freezing, freaking, fight or flight
green, purple lights on the horizon
when everything's wrong, nothing is right

"nec nulla interea
est gratia terra" (Vergil, Georgica)

fallow

Liner Notes by the editors:

Little is known about the band that has created this song. Most of this little information can be gleaned from the website of FMT, whom a previous SHELLF LIFE release can be attributed to. We caution that  we do not know if any or all of this information is outdated: https://furicomusicteam.blogspot.com/p/shellf-life-interview.html Unfortunately, the Furico Team was not available for commentary, since they are launching quite a different kind of historic project on kitchen label.  

Some questionable facts regarding STRANGELOVE’S BRAIN’s release are related in quite a verbose and unreliable way tinged with judgemental interpretation and interspersed with pseudointellectual preconceptions here:   https://soundcloud.com/sonic-textures/shellf-life-paraphernalia-and-parerga-2025 (German original, as far as we can discern). According to that ‚account‘, the recording of STRANGELOVE’S BRAIN was found on a self-burnt disc (ha, that ancient Nero joke!) in a forgotten chest. The poem used in this recording is the only item that can be traced to an author (jo richter) who was kind enough to allow us to reprint here. Obviously, the references to the war-inflicted tragedies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki make it of  special importance at this moment in history, not only because of current tensions, but also because those two catastrophies happened about 80 years ago in August 1945. We therefore decided to release the two versions known thus far as a vinyl single to the general public, accompanied by an image attributed to the same author as the poem.


Strangelove's Brain

another pensive pariah
spotted on the outskirts
of Hyperbolea, Parolia
avant, avant, sempre vorwärts

keeping the obvious captive
locked in a by a reverse smirk
another dementia denier
Hiroshima, where shadows lurk

and the moon keeps rising, rising
every other day, socializing
with singed hands on bare rocks

iron out unseemly locks
to keep face, straight, straight
little boys take progress' bait

Round and Round

TEOP1 Field Keyboard and Korg Kaossilator, lots of Audacity post filters.

Halibut

Mutant Space Donkey

I began writing this piece for minimalist organ with the intention of having multiple overlapping sections, but then I got bored and added some funk.  When I got to editing in Audacity, I added a "Paul Stretch" to a section which is the thing that makes it sometimes sound like it's "underwater", but this time it sounded like an airplane, so I got obsessed with that noise and put it all over the track in different forms and made that the general theme.

Well Clear ADSB

Started out with organ with some oscillating dissonance chords to build tension.  Then I switch into a minimalist bell/piano arpeggiation for a while, which slowly builds into trance, and then into some more heavy dub trance.  There's a melody lead with a phase pad throughout the entire song, and I also added some heavier bells that do some fifth step ups and octave steps as a regular theme.  I fade out with what sounds like a dulcimer.  This is all TEOP1 Field keyboard though as usual, no analog instruments.  Some reverb added in audacity, -14dB normalization, -1dB soft limit. Enjoy your fall everyone! Crunch some leaves!

Leaf Storm

The Jester’s Smile

Collaboration between Brendan Dempsey (Bass Guitar) and NOSTRUMUVA (TEOP1, Soda Can, Tibetan Singing Bowl).

Occult Devotion

Here are the lyrics:

I see stars
Hoshi
Let's not worry now
and just be

Hoshi x2
Can you see me?
Hoshi x2
The time will come

Stars Ft. Kaori (Vocaloid Original)

A collection of instrumental songs I made during November, 2025.  

Select Ghosts

For reasons unknown but time will tell...
Multi-instrumentalist, all types of music, all types of methods.
Occasional collaborations with other artists.
Sometimes I post the sheet music if it's piano.
Lately, my favorite instrument is a TE OP-1 Field keyboard.
