'Changing Times' was something to express a sense of nostalgia. It reflected thoughts I've been having as my kids get older. The title I gave it took on a whole different, sad light, when I learned of the passing of a dear friend. People my family and I love, lost a husband and a father today. We lost a brilliant, clever, funny, kind, and caring friend.

He was the very best of men. And he will be sorely missed. 

'Changing Times' includes a manipulated and processed sample of isolated vocals taken from the excellent 1969 track, "I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free", by the band Cold Blood.

Counting to six this time, trying more kicks, perhaps I'll make a track one day with nothing but kicks. It'll be Kyx.

Past 2 days I've been working on some ideas based around The Sleeper (Edgar Allan Poe). The music is mine, and this is the first part of the poem. I'm not a singer so my vocals are really only a sketch of what I'd hope to ever achieve.

image: copyright jo richter, shot a couple of years ago in Bad Kösen, Germany - there is an irony in labelling - first: there is a German saying: das Leben ist kein Ponyhof - meaning you can not be as naive as a kid on a pony ranch and you have to work to achieve your goals  -second:  this stable is labelled pony ranch - third: there is another label warning of aggressive, biting ponies - therefore, fourth: implying that even if life were a pony ranch,  it would still demand lots of caution ;-)

poem / copyright jo richter:

like Herman, we believe in beginnings
rising to fight Romans, the powers that be
we presume the naive because we are humans
blank-slate incarnations of pristine imponderability

we are the dusk that dreams of the dawn
with old Jungs repertoire of archetypes serialised
idealising eden‘s lawn, heading towards mere oblivion
we read from the screen: training data compromised

with wide-open, disbelieving eyes
hoping, like Hermann, for magic sponges and wipes
to delete karma capital – a senseless, selfless sacrifice
there‘s little there there in what the fomo-kind-of-attention hypes

aurora blank slate
