The music evokes a real sense of awe and wonder

An incredible pallete of textures, top notch soundscaping

rather unique style, many different influence, convincing at the whole!

wonderful work , how are you doing you , my great from the heart

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rescinded wells still quench his thirst, he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.

About “Flickerstorm (Album Version)”
This track was inspired by the sounds of New Order and Echo & the Bunnymen that kept playing in my head under the moonlight.
I blended those influences with the dub and electronic elements I deeply admire, and it became the very first track I completed as Olttaoff.

Under my previous artist name, my works leaned more toward electronic downtempo. Over time, however, I realized that post-rock is an essential part of my identity, which led me to create this piece. In many ways, it feels like a return to my roots while moving forward.

It also marks a turning point in my process — shifting from hardware-based production to working fully in DAWs. The TR-909 featured on the artwork represents that transition, as well as a tribute to Roland, the iconic maker from my hometown in Japan.

Lyrics based on those written by a child in an institution run by abusive clerics.

Just a child scared and small
No one to turn to no one at all
No one to hold me to dry my tears
No one to hug me to ease my fears

Sisters of no mercy
Twisted and cruel
Sisters of heresy
Masquerading as school
Hell is awaiting
A special place for you

Hoping and praying it's just a dream
When I hear the other children scream
Out of sight is out of mind
The world moves on
We are left behind

Nothing left to help or save
A final unmarked lonely grave
Someday when you've nowhere left to run
When the world finds out 
Just what you have done

Sisters of no mercy
Twisted and cruel
Sisters of heresy
Masquerading as school
Hell is awaiting
A special place for you

Sisters of no Mercy

Lyrics:
There they go,
returning to stone.
Where they roll,
No one can know.
What they hold,
A tight grip on the soul.
So, you know, 
they love throwing stones.
And, so you've flown,
Now that you're grown.
The ground below,
You no longer know.
Further away,
a wingspan in tow.
Nobody's home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Down for a ride?
I swear they don't bite,
but they go fast.
Like hours through the glass.
Come on and see,
It's only you and me.

Returning to Stone

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...
