Lake and Billowing Cloud (naviarhaiku581)

The “catch your breath” project got me thinking. All living things on this planet breathe, at least in one form or another, with some of us breathing in what others breathe out and vice versa. In that regard breathing is a kind of planetary feedback loop, constantly inhaling and exhaling. So, that inspired the first step in setting up my sonic palette: patching my “Barp 2500” to establish a slow oscillation. The output was fed into a tape looper effect on the Zoia which was then sent into the Cosmos, which were routed via a patch pay so that they fed back into each other. The combined audio was sent to my mixer, where additional feedback was added via the aux sends. After importing this into Logic, motion effects were used to create various forms of spatial movement. The final touch involved manually adding fade in and outs which became further and further apart and, eventually falling into silence when the breathing finally stops.

plunging my hand into the lake [naviarhaiku581]

Solo work. Electric guitar, baritone guitar, drums. All recorded at different sessions then layered together afterwards. On baritone guitar I was exploring with snare resonance. I put a small snare on top of the guitar cabinet.

haiku / copyright jo richter:

allein die trägheit
des lichts verleiht ihr gewicht
und hält sie im jetzt

interlinear translation: LIMINALIA - a haiku recital, accompanied by electrified guitar // just the momentum / of light endows her with weight / a solid present

Lingering in a monastery of his own, heavy with history—perhaps light with what’s to come. Molt traces a crucial transformation.

Enjoy!

the clearing

a burden is all i ever will be
i stay up all night, its hard to sleep
sleep in the day time, familys mad at me
i cant ever be anything

am i a monster
am i human
i am useless
anyways   

i bedrot all day
i never see my mom
i wish i could be something
but everything goes wrong

a burden is all i ever will be
i stay up all night, its hard to sleep
sleep in the day time, familys mad at me
i cant ever be anything

burden
