Selected Collaborations and Erstwhile Notes

Wet Mountain Vibes 2024 / ReECO @Broken Glass Ranch

Ramparts, Murmurings, Whispers, and Lies

December 2025: Solitude's Shadow

Once I read a line that went like this: "Juxtaposed like the spit on a jazzman lip" Not sure what it means, although it really stuck with me for many years. Anyway, this piece is a sketch of the idea of juxtaposing things together, side by side in space and time.

Words and lyrics, Re-Evolution Cafe' Orchestra © 2022 

Everything you know 
Has been an utter lie
Nothing you can do to change it..
Cause you're a coward in your eye.
Hold on a tighter and turn on the tv.
Its a valuable condition
its got me all consumed

Don't let it slip out of memory
or you might end up like Henry
shot in the head
stabbed in the thigh

or you might end up like Henry
can't turn it off
or you might end up like Henry
shot in the head
stabbed in the thigh
shot in the head
stabbed in the thigh

But you're hungry to the thirst.
Condition affliction
Inspired and perverse

There's nothing between now!
You're a hostage to your hunger
Venerable appetite held..

You know it ain't right
Called into her beckon
you know it ain't right
See you sling it
you see uncle Charlie
he ain't nothing he ain't

Hold on to the make up
Hold on to your pride
There's nothing to believe
You know it ain't right
You're not alone

Open up wide
Bleeding benediction
it's just a condition of the affliction
Open up wide
open the story
You're not alone
Open up wide..

How'd you get 
Liquid images painted on the wall
Are you in mercy
Are you in crime
Desensitized , are you surprised.
A hunger to her
The house is all quiet and I'm not alone.
The silly war is over
Now it's time to go home

I don't remember the battle cry
but I do remember
I don't remember the battle cry
but I do remember
I don't remember the battle cry
but I do remember

You see uncle Charlie
He aint nothing he aint
Hold on to the make up
Hold on to your pride
There's nothing to believe

I don't remember the battle cry
but I do remember....

method: Sending back and forth, reworking and creating in collaboration with re-evolution café orchestra who composed all the music and played all the instruments. To enjoy more, listen here:  https://soundcloud.com/re-evolution_cafe. Apart from the poem, I added field recordings and partook in the editing.
narration: I live in a region that is home to some space industry – more importantly however, this region is also home to marvellous nature. This poem is nourished by many concepts and theories, most notably the colonial ideology of space as the „new frontier“ as well as Whiteheads „fallacy of misplaced concreteness“ and Nagel‘s thoughts expressed in „What is it like to be a bat“. It is also fed by the human-tamed beauty of reed landscapes around lake Federsee which can be seen in the photo I took.

gedicht / copyright jo richter:

welch unvorstellbare macht
muss die masse im erdkern
beleben, das wasser, die erde,
die wurzeln sicher zu halten

zu wahren, die landschaftsfalten
wie eine große gebärde
ins weltall zu richten, das fern
sternlicht um sternlicht entfacht

des tags wuchert das grün
höher und höher empor
bis der wind braune samen
biosphärenweit streut

welch wuchskraft, die sich nicht scheut
sich bis zum astralen
zu wenden aus schwarztiefem moor,
anarchisch und kühn

so müsse auch mensch sich recken,
heißt es, sich loszulösen,
zu den sternen zu streben,
geballte planetenmassen

mit erdensproßsinnen zu fassen,
sich aus den symbiosen zu heben
und seine bedürfnisblößen
xenobiotisch zu decken

welch trugschluss, den leib
dort zu bewegen, wo geist
sich angleicht und fragt: wie
ist es, so zu erleben

die saat darf und muss schweben,
sich aus massewucht lösen, die
sie hielt, doch wie weit sie auch reist,
das schilf, das sie treibt, verbleibt



interlinear rendition:
reeds at lake federsee // what incomprehensible power / has to inspire the mass in earth‘s core/ to hold, to keep the water, the earth / and the roots securely // the folds of the landscape / akin to a giant gesture / directed into the cosmos which lights / star after star in the distance // during the day, the lush green rises / higher and higher / until the wind distributes brown seeds / across the biosphere // what power of growth, not hesitating / to turn towards the stars / from the black deep of the moor / anarchic, courageous // thus man would have to strech as well / people say, to loosen their ties / per aspera ad astra / to measure dense planet masses // with earth-grown senses / detach themselves from symbioses / and cover their bare and many needs / with xenobiosis // what a fallacy of misplaced concreteness to move the body / where the mind adapts and queries / what it is like / to experience like that // mind‘s pollen may and will hover / free itself from the power of mass which / had held it but however far it will travel /  the reed that grows it remains where it is //

schilf am federsee -  with re-evolution café orchestra

This suite of pieces - https://soundcloud.com/re-evolution_cafe/sets/joe-cantos-1-and-2?si=d75a079edbde4afdbae6ae0037afe152&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing 
is all due to the inspiration of https://soundcloud.com/sonic-textures. Aka "Jo Richter" is combination of the sensitivity of Rainer Maria Rilke, the eye for juxtaposition of Hannah Hoch , the aesthetic eclectic genius of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, the austere imagery of Wim Wenders and the sense of human theatric of Bertolt Brecht. The man's work is something you should experience. 
Get it Dig it! You won't forget it!

Thank you Jo for allowing me to wiggle a little and maybe a lot and maybe a lot on some tracks.!

So Ladies and Gentlemen these are Jo's original words and poem:

Stepping out of the opening
at the foot of the spire, facing
the gaping, gasping plaza, the sun
behind him blotted out by the lean,
white purveyor of contemplation, he
shuddered the way one trembles
after narrowly escaping the lure
of prolonged exultation.

Up there, he knows, his muse
still combs and grooms the knotted
wisdom of her braids, humming
a tune of beauty. Up there, he
knows, rests his legacy in verse, scrolls
upon scrolls of scribbled glyphs,
each one a masterpiece of his
heightened sensory exaltation.

This is no path that could have been
avoided, she crooned into the waxen
ear of his remaining memory, as art
has always longed to be subjected
and enslaved, to suffer the necessity
of being forged on vulgar vices. Oh
for the kiln that never foregoes fire, he
would have wailed in common fury.

Is there a place where one who has
abandoned home can rest his head,
he asked. This world is made of places,
a passer-by replied. How can he who has
rescinded wells still quench his thirst, he
asked. All life is born from water, a passer-by
remarked. Who in the world are you, he
quizzed a passer-by, who would not answer.

And all the homes he saw were made
of brick and mortar, colour and concrete.
And all the forests he walked were brimming
with the secret of the spooky action at a
distance. He dared not raise his eyes too far.
He did, although, not hesitate to tame
his fears, revulsions, lusts, ambitions.
Yet all he touched turned into song sublime.

Cara's Heart is Shaped like a Mandolin

Retrocausality, or backwards causation, is a concept of cause and effect in which an effect precedes its cause in time and so a later event affects an earlier one. In quantum physics, the distinction between cause and effect is not made at the most fundamental level and so time-symmetric systems can be viewed as causal or retrocausal.

Video: https://youtu.be/oC9zdEwW_Jw

Retrocausality:
It’s gonna be a few more days…
Gonna be gonna be...
be a few more days, a few more days..
Retro-causality's gotta grip on the past, it’s supremacy remains unsurpassed. 
Retro-causality's gotta  grip on the past, it’s supremacy remains unsurpassed. 
Retro-causality's gotta grip on the past, it’s supremacy remains unsurpassed. 

Cognitive dissonance, a discordant beat, 
Fractured realities where truths are incomplete. 
And the WiF whispering, the mind-melding stream, 
AI's reflection distorts what might seem. 
Retrocausality's thread, a tangled web: 
Intertwined with tragedies, humanity's calamities .
Echoes of history, moments recast, 
Echoes of history, moments recast, 
Retro-causality's gotta grip on the past
it’s supremacy remains unsurpassed. 

Retrocausality's gotta  grip on the past, it’s supremacy remains unsurpassed. 
Retrocausality's gotta  grip on the past, it’s supremacy remains unsurpassed. 
Retrocausality's gotta  grip on the past, it’s supremacy remains unsurpassed. 
It’s gonna be It’s gonna be It’s gonna be It’s gonna be 
It’s gonna be It’s gonna be It’s gonna be It’s gonna be
It’s gonna be It’s gonna be It’s gonna be It’s gonna be
Retro-causality's gotta  grip on the past, it’s supremacy remains unsurpassed.

It’s gonna be a few more days
It’s gonna be a few more days
It’s gonna be a few more days
It’s gonna be a few more days

My tribute to Jo words, soul and spirit.
 

He got locked out of her garden
before this springtime's floral bloom
As he saw her soft glance harden
saw different patterns on her loom

He found some fallow, barren wasteland
on a hill of thistles, nettles
And to cultivate defiant plants
and to get scarred by willful brambles

Go feed on nettle seed
Thistle oil and fibre weed
There is nothing else you need
nutrient rich and bittersweet

Haggard, thin and somewhat healthy
his medicine was on demand
to overcome fatigue and palsy
when there is nothing left to want

Go feed on nettle seed
Thistle oil and fibre weed
There is nothing else you need
nutrient rich and bittersweet

perpassa, percorre caminhos;

por onde passa [...]

se move de um lugar...

desconhece a lembrança
desconhece a lembrança
de se movimentar...

(perpassa, percorre caminhos...)

encontrar, não deixar passar...
e se leva de lembrança;

larararara...

e não deixa levar...

não se leva, nem deixa levar;

se solta no ar...
perdido...

deixa de se movimentar
(perpassa, percorre caminhos)

discurso que molda;
discurso que molda um lugar;

a pele à habitar...
pertencer;

perpassa, percorre caminhos...
perpassa, percorre caminhos...
perpassa, percorre caminhos...
perpassa, percorre caminhos...
[...]

a pele que habita o lugar...

perpassa, percorre caminhos...
[...]

o desvio é imprescindível;
inevitável lugar...
inevitável lugar.

With Love and Respect.......

Down the Rabbit Hole:
Well I never met the Jesus
Never meet the Saints.
But I had lunch with the Dali Lama baby, and that just was great!
I here to tell ya fella, I think I got a great plan
something that can withstand the time of the end time
and it won't even cost you a dime.
Just a little bit of muscle, maybe less if you hustle.

Gonna find me a place to stay safe and dry.
Gotta find a place that I know that will be there.
You might wanna check the level of my insanity.
Some people think it's a personal calamity.
But there's no reason fear,
But I assure you this aint no game.
I'm gonna tell you right now.

I think i'm going down
I'm wanna dig a rabbit hole so deep


I can create my underworld place , so unique.
Down the rabbit hole is where I wanna go.
It's the only place I know
where a fella can thrive 
not get caught up in the hustle, and bustle or..
Decomposition, De-evolution of man.

background chorus:  I wanna go down the rabbit hole- repeated..

I wanna go down the rabbit hole.
I wanna go down the rabbit hole
I wanna find a place to dig.
Eleven hundred meters deep, I'm on my way to China.
You think they gots some persciutto and ham.

Ah I'll learn to eat rice if I have too, to survive.

Well I never met the Jesus
Never met the Saints
But I sure fell in love, last Tuesday.
Got a divorce on Friday.
Well I smell like puppuccino and a nose like pinocchio.


Chorus: Wanna go down the Rabbit Hole!...repeated

But I never been ashamed, it keeps me warm safe and dry.
I want you to come very close, come on close and real near.

Well I never met the Jesus, yeah
I Never met the Saints
But I had lunch with the Dali Lama, baby,
and that was spectacularly great.

That's not what I'm here to tell ya.
Come a little closer so you can hear.
Get right in my face so I can make it perfectly clear.
You might wanna check the level of my insanity.
This ain't no personal calamity.

Chorus:Chorus: Wanna go down the Rabbit Hole!...repeat

I know it sounds a little strange
But I ain't got caught out in the rain.
This ain't no game, cause 
I'm gonna dig myself a hole
right down beneath my feet.

Sinking right thru the ground I wanna dig myself a hole
Eleven hundred meter deep is where is wanna be.
Down the rabbit hole is where I wanna go
Down the rabbit hole is where I wanna go

I need to dig me a den.
Invite some friends over over cocktails at 10.
It's the safest place to be.
Would't you agree,
in these times of all this madness,
global pandemic and a virus that wont' go away.
Miley Cyrus keeps screaming.
Kanye West wants to be president.

background chorus i gonna dig a rabbit hole, I wanna go down the rabbit hole- repeated..

In the midst of a wide open mountain valley in the central southern part of Colorado lies the Wet Mountain Valley. Nestled between the Sangres and the Wet mountain ranges is my home, and heaven. Well as close to it on planet earth as one could hope to get. If you don't believe me ask anyone who happens to live here.

One day I was traversing Soundcloud and came across the fabulous Italian poet, Ilaria Boffa. This is why I love Soundcloud. @ilaria_boffa. Her words and voice flowed out of my web browser and into my heart and soul. So  I reached out and begged her to collaborate with me. Lucky for me she agreed and then allowed me some creative license. So this is for you Ilaria, to you and your voice. May the world be as touched as I was by your words and creative spirit.

Ilaria took the piece published here on SC as "Music for Trains and Station Platforms" and captured it's mood and wrote some stellar, powerful words that created a whole new life and vision for the music. I applaud and am humbled by her multilingual approach to her art using a beautiful vividness of expression of human soul! Bravo Ilaria , bravo.

Days in Autumn (homage to ‘You Must Believe in Spring’ by Bill Evans) 

we must believe in spring
Earth axis increases
its tilt to the Sun
dew comes, frost no more
vernal peers share light

many a time belatedly
days in autumn
prepare for cold and 
special smell of soil
many a time fitfully

oh we must believe in spring
let snow melt and streams swell
the hardiest flowers sprout
days in autumn
prepare for dark and
many a time forecast the yield

dobbiamo sperare nella primavera
l’asse della terra aumenta
l’inclinazione al sole
giunge la rugiada, scongela la brina
i pari dividono la luce in primavera 

spesso in ritardo
i giorni d’autunno
preparano al freddo
all’odore tipico della terra
spesso irregolari nel modo

oh dobbiamo sperare nella primavera
lasciamo la neve sciogliere e i fiumi gonfiare
che spuntino i fiori più temerari 
i giorni d’autunno
preparano al buio e
spesso dicono il raccolto

Days in Autumn w/ Ilaria Boffa

This piece was something I initially composed as a submission/invitation   to the fabulous Agnostura Elwar. @agnosturaelwar. I was lucky enough for him to reply with something I believe that is something very special. In my mind at least, we seem to have some kind of chemistry together that defies distance, space and time. I hope you agree .

My dear friend  Ingvar blessed me with a great guitar part and these kind words about this piece, " My brother from Wet Mountain Valley, Colorado, United States, mr. Re-Evolution Café Orchestra @re-evolution_cafe has sent me several great recordings for me to add something. Thats an honor, but also its hard work, hahaha."  

"Well, this was challenging, I did it the free spirit way. It would have been easier to do it through the guitaramp, hi gain, load because then you feel the music much on your body than sitting with headphones and play. This is without a lot of rehearsal just because if I rehears to much I tries to hard to follow scales and harmonies, but this music aint about that. I think leaving music theory is good learning, be free from the chains."

I am lucky to have such a kind talented collaborator who is willing and able to risk playing so emotionally soulful. Bravo sir!

Re-Evolution Cafe' Orchestra is an multimedia, sound and art project, featuring sonic canvasses and videos for your perusing: "eclectic musings" and "musical disambiguation", sometimes with lyrical commentary, sometimes not even a mere word. Near an unassailable flow, memory re-asserts its musicality.

Life forms commanded by code and intuition.
All code can be hacked!
Re-invent your paradigms.
Hack into your code.
Re-define who you are.
This is a yoga, 
this is you... 
Re-Evolution Cafe' Orchestra.
Always open to collaborations:
