A song in which we channel our inner Portishead........

I guess it was just my own world
After all
Having you as the other part
Was nothing more
And nothing less than illusion

Oh you really fooled me good
Oh so good
Good, as in pleasantly 
And good as in sublimely
Good as in nothing wanting
As in I thought you were just too good to be true

CHORUS
Who was the one
Who always said forever and ever
Don’t forget
Who was the one who always said
We were a perfect fit
Who was the one 
Who had no doubt 
The future lay right ahead of us
Who was the one who said
That we were all that we needed
Don’t forget (x3)
It was I all along

Having you as the other part
Was nothing more
And nothing less than illusion

Oh you really fooled me good
Oh so good
Good, as in completely
And good as in oh so very cleverly
And good as in I was good and gone for you 
As in you had me hook line and sinker good

Repeat CHORUS

Oh you fooled me good
Oh so good
As in your disguise was crafted with care
But I had no idea 
They made those costumes
In such a slim fit

9000 Things To See

Keep Me Forever

Slim Fit

For this album, photographs by Thomas Lutz illustrate a narrative that is recounted with my music. A person - let’s call them „She“ - who leaves her parent’s house to lead an independent life. But then for whatever circumstances, she faces the danger of homelessness.

„She’s Leaving“, the title track, is inspired by an experience at age 17, when I left my parent’s house and carried a box of my things on foot to my new home. On my 38th birthday - the day my grandmother died - I wrote this piano piece.

„Variation I“ features a modified piano with sound built in the granular synthesizer. In „Variation II“ and „III“ this process is continued with addition of instruments and spatial effects.

„Night Tube“ is both a further variation and a reminiscence of „Waking the Witch“ by Kate Bush. Taken from the second side of her „Hounds Of Love“ LP, the concept piece „The Ninth Wave“ tells the story of a girl floating alone on the sea in a life raft. Voices of her family in her fantasy awaken her again and again, saving her from falling asleep, freezing to death and drowning.
In „Night Tube“ I think of a homeless person who nods off in the London subway at night and is startled, again and again, by inner and outer voices. In the metaphorical sense, it’s also about being scared awake in one’s own circumstances. There are currently an estimated 59,000 homeless women in Germany.

„Without A Sound“ closes the album. With this remix of the piano piece „She’s Leaving“ I tried to capture some of the emptiness and quiet vastness of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s music („async“). The trumpet samples come from a nocturnal jam session in the recording studio of the Stuttgart Musikhochschule in which I was involved.

With the additional „Threads of Reflections“ remix*, Belial Pelegrim contributes a unique cinematic soundscape with a generous and gentle atmosphere.

She's Leaving

Without A Sound (She's Leaving) (Belial Pelegrim 'Threads Of Reflection' Remix)

So yeah, what about this set..  In general I am really happy with how this set played out. It took me quite some effort to select and experiment with tracks and blending of the same but it was worth it. A bit of a trainwreck halve way but hey what the hell, I'm still learning. 

The first track (and last) is the intro of a Legowelt track which starts with the howling of wolves.. pretty cool stuff so I figured it would be nice to start a set with that one somehow. It blends nicely with the second track from Hiroshi. This is one I really like. Funny thing is I bought that record only by looking at the cover and the track name and it turned out to sound even better than it looks. Other several great tracks that I've selected are from artists such as Recondite, Tale of Us, Stephan Jolk and Tone Depth. To complete the selection I added several tracks from Stephan Bodzin's new album Boavista which are most fitting and sound to good to be left out. The album is another masterpiece from the legend himself. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this compilation!!

method: sounds from field recording, voice (just another instrument, I guess) and toy harp (the one seen in the picture) via pedals
narration: that cult is one of the oldest we know of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirah
picture: taken by myself on the banks of the argen river

poem / copyright jo richter:

scales in the sun
sparkling, bright
liminal lisping
seductive sight

coiled conundrum
confusing, tight
contorting circles
cymatic tide

slender senses
snaking the void
looking for loves
and lives to exploit

cuneiform letters
pressed into clay
where there is beauty
predators prey

connecting the cosmos
completing the course
ligament nexus
umbilical force
