Republic of Ghana - Mido Wò

Ghana is a country in West Africa bordering Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Togo, and to the south, the Gulf of Guinea, part of the Atlantic Ocean. Its area is almost as large as that of the United Kingdom, with whose history it is closely linked through the colonial period. The name Ghana was intended to create a historical connection with the Empire of Ghana, the first documented great empire in West Africa. Ghana's capital is the metropolis of Accra, and its second city, with a population of over a million, is Kumasi.

The Volta Reservoir, with the Akosombo Dam, completed in 1966, is the largest inland lake in the country and, to this day, the largest artificial body of water in the world. With the construction of the dam, the Nkrumah government pursued the goal of securing the energy supply for Ghana's economic development and industrialization. Ghana is important to the global economy due to its wealth of natural resources. Gold, which also gave the former colony the name "Gold Coast," is Ghana's most important export. About one-third of export earnings and 93 percent of mining sector production are related to gold production.

الجمهورية اليمنية (al-Dschumhūriyya al-Yamaniyya) - نبتسم (Nahn Namdi Ma'an)

Yemen is a country in the Middle East, in the south of the Arabian Peninsula. Yemen borders Saudi Arabia to the north, Oman to the east, the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea to the south, and the Red Sea to the west. The states of Djibouti and Eritrea are located across the Red Sea, about 20 and 30 kilometers apart, respectively. Yemen also includes the Socotra archipelago and numerous smaller islands in the Bab al-Mandab in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea. However, the state of Yemen has collapsed due to the civil war; several de facto states currently exist on the former territory described above.

In 1990, the two former states, the Yemeni Arab Republic (JAR, "North Yemen"; capital: Sanaa) and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen (DPJ, "South Yemen", capital: Aden), united to form the current state. A civil war has raged since 2013. In this conflict, the Houthi militias succeeded in capturing the capital, Sanaa, and large parts of the country. On March 25, 2015, Saudi Arabia, with the military cooperation of eight other states (the Islamic Military Coalition), launched a military intervention called Operation Decisive Storm to support the central government under President Hadi and Prime Minister Khalid Bahah. This massively escalated the conflict and is considered a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran. As of April 1, 2022, 4.3 million people are internally displaced due to the war in the country. Seventy percent of the population depends on international aid for survival.

Solomon Islands - Mifala

Solomons are an island nation in the South Pacific. The archipelago belongs to the cultural area of ​​Melanesia and lies east of New Guinea. It is largely made up of the southern Solomon Islands, the Ontong Java Islands, and the Santa Cruz Islands further east. The northern Solomon Islands belong to the state of Papua New Guinea. The Solomon Islands have not been part of the United Kingdom since 1978. However, they have remained a member of the Commonwealth of Nations ever since and form a kingdom with Charles III as head of state. Furthermore, they maintain strong ties to Great Britain due to their former colonial period; for example, their political system is based on the British Westminster system, and their national language is English.

The surrounding island nations, in addition to Papua New Guinea, include Nauru, Kiribati, Tuvalu, Fiji, and Vanuatu.

The name of the region derives from the history of colonization by European powers from the name of King Solomon mentioned in the Bible, Greekized as Salomon and in English Solomon, ruler - in the 10th century BC - of the Kingdom of Israel, son of King David.

Så en dag. 894 ( 1987 ) Margareta Theorin ( Margareta )

NOTE: SOUNDCLOUD UPLOAD PROCEDURESS ARE BASICALLY BROKEN. DEATH BY CATERING FOR AN INDUSTRY, NOT PEOPLE.


method: taking the sl 2 (and some other pedals) for a ride into lush territories and then  being rigidly minimalist in the initial mixing … the initial mixing, yes …. things evolved a bit on the longish side, though ... I hope the endeavour is worth your while …. there will be carmenta pt2 soon, then employing the (older but less menue-diving) sl 20 pedal

narration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmenta – creating categories on the fringes of the unconscious tends to corrupt perception which is why the number of sibyls (or fates, or muses) varies dramatically over time and cultural stages – even if you do not hear it at first, the full poem is included in this soundscape

image: a fridge magnet (made of fake marble and adorned with a tourist version of the etruscan alphabet) was purchased at the gift shop in the villa giulia in rome which houses the etruscan museum. I went there more than a decade ago and very much enjoyed mostly empty showrooms at year’s end, much to my delight. The electronic gear also shown is a lot more recent and the overall mesh-up-art is just nice as is- long live gimp  ;-) copyright jo richter

poem / copyright jo richter
(actually, the poem is titled ETRURIA. For this album, however, three syllables  are mandated which is why I chose the name of the sibyl referred to, carmenta, who is supposed to have shifted the spelling of the letters to create the etruskan alphabet, later inspiring the „latin“ letters):

aporia
aporia
all new shapes to
praise carmenta

dolphins leap through
arcs made of waves
to welcome the new
lines, strokes and staves

etruria
euphoria
raise your caverna
and praise carmenta

Dreaming

Even as a small child I wanted to learn a musical instrument...

...since there was a music school in our small town where I grew up, but it was limited to the activities of the local musicians' band, the choice was rather limited... because piano, guitar or saxophone were not offered and that's why I decided me for the trumpet, which was not used for cast-technical reasons, so the FLÜGELHORN became my instrument...
In my youth I turned my back on music and was active in sports towards the end of my teenage years.
