Mean Flow & Marco Lucchi - A phrygian loop

After Heraklit*, this is the second soundscape made with a polyend tracker - a device  I like to refer to as a digital punchcard machine. The reasons for this naming choice are obvious to anyone old enough to remember actual punchcards. 

this upload also is an experiment in having an accompanying video - shot in a jittery, glitchy, seemingly careless, nouvelle-vague digital-punk-70s style: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIgBYsTstBs/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

RELATIVE SUN

translating torsos, gestures and forces
timid embraces of cultural icons
mind's urban slacklines span fixes and fines
surgical lasers, mosses and lichen
kneel at the sabretooth altar - move on, never falter
don't feed from the baiters - don't give up trying

Now, dear soundcloud, do tell me why this cannot be recommended?

Zombi apokalipsa

method: tracker
narration: plato's rendition of the cave myth and all that (quite different from our current cave-people narrations), nama-rupa, substance and accidence, and all that; the second experiment with an acompanying video, this time in a slightly (!) different style: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIlLSUSMTCN/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

poem / copyright jo richter:

ohne höhle
weiß niemand
was da ist
zu deuten

interlinear translation: but of the cave // but of the cave / how would one / interpret / what's there

ohne höhle

Bly Anglerify

method: after creating another digital punchcard and some listening to singing bowls (see video here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIpWlMmt9M6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==), I took my melodica out to a nice spot in the forest, later going through samplitude (daw) paces
narration: I imagine some human ancestor sitting in the mouth of the cave, still awed by printing his ochre hand on the cave wall - she or he or they .....such a puzzeling, bewildering act:  the creation of identity and the affirmation of connection simultaneously .... Identification, after all, is a younger sibling to alienation ;-)

poem / copyright jo richter:

his astonishment
when he saw
his own hand
on the cave wall

rising sun
and nothing else –
misty sea!
