Really great work. I like that the samples are at the forefront and the music a backdrop.

Also, that the samples run all the way through.

Music is like lost while focusing on the words. Only its powerful dramatic effect comes through, and that without being conscious. Fantastic.

As I try to follow the news about the war in Ukraine, I feel increasingly  pessimistic about a "good" outcome (i.e. an end of the hostilities and withdrawal of all Russian troops from all of the Ukraine could be a start...)
War has its own dynamic. With every kind of rhetoric, bluff and outright threats (from both sides),we are quickly getting closer to the abyss...we are desperately in need of common sense, more than brinkmanship or anything else...and there's really no time to lose if we want man and earth to survive!

This mess was recorded  in the last days of June and the start of July 2022 with synthesizers and a sampler. I prefer to listen to it with headphones.
The title is derived from a book by William Burroughs.

...What was it? Did a meteor fall down?
Was it a visit by citizens of the vast space?
So or otherwise in our little country appeared
the greatest miracle of miracles – the ZONE.
We sent there the troops immediately.
They did not come back.
Then we surrounded the ZONE with police cordons...
And, I suppose, that was the right thing to do...
Actually, I don’t know, I don’t know...

From an interview with Professor Wallace, the receiver of Nobel’s prize.

Whiskey Lullaby

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.

Lapses

Written by Gary Zekley & Mitchell Bottler and recorded famously by one of my favorite bands of the 60s/70s (The Grass Roots), "Wait A Million Years” has lingered in my teenage memory and finally gets a quick treatment here. Once again I did a first pass test on my iPhone and grew attached to its raw simplicity despite the rough recording. I subsequently added a vocal harmony and some harmonica accents. Then my Daniels & Durgy partner, Nat Daniels, got her hands on it to lend a hand with some bass, percussion and other editing improvements so that I might offer it here without too much embarrassment! I'm pleased with the results but welcome any comments on this considerable twist on the original Grass Roots version. My great thanks to Nat for her invaluable assistance on this solo track.
