Hier sind Kooperationen mit Musikern auf Soundcloud zu finden. In den meisten Fällen stammen die Texte von mir, Ausnahmen sind unten beschrieben.
This playlist will be populated with more 'collabs' each time they come about.  It is an overwhelming joy to see my words honoured by sonic renditions produced by these great and wonderful artists. 
In Hawk Caught a Rabbit the magnificent lyrics are by Jeff and I just added little quibs in between. In the Administrational Heart only the first two sections of lyrics are by me. For Équinoxe-moi and Around the Bend, Wivresse and I swapped poems and sonified each other's work. Concatenandus, Small Gifts, Trilobite Quandary and The Passing are open collaborations in which you can still participate. The title for 'the wolf in me ....' was made by Mark from the Re-evolution Café Orchestra,  replacing the poem's original title Aeglaeca. With Amanita Muscaria and Know Ware, I only held roles far in the background of gestation, but Jeff and Terry and everyone else were kind enough to give me a honourable mention. Thank you, brothers and sisters in sound. The complete adventure of the Land of Zed story is out now on Bandcamp: https://thesmokingtrout.bandcamp.com/album/land-of-zed The E-bow Dao is unique in that Jeff's music came first and inspired my words. Later, the same course of composition came about with sun state, earth people, flying. Windover Hill by mono-orbit (former mono-lux) layers the words of my poem of the same name with those of a ballad by Maria Cunningham. Hanno has undergone some additional cleaning and enhancing at Rollo C's (muterial's) place. With the Holy Dumpling, I've only added some percussion. Adam was so generous as to allow me to add to his amazing originals Harmony and My Orders Never Came; the lyrics are all his on these two ...  just like Jeff's on Anthology .... where I had the honour of adding some sound into the mix. Would you go has some collaborators intentionally not named. KooJaa is all Kirk's invention, just rhe words and some of the voice are mine. At the moment, Vermillion Syncretism is taking shaoe in the studio of the Furico Music Team.

Sympoetic Ultrasounds

Wow! Mark from the Re-Evolution Cafe has turned his version of Nettle Seed into a children's book: https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgemini.google.com%2Fshare%2Ff585980d1c01&token=def278-1-1762118331241

nettle seeds

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
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

Collaboration between Mono-Lux and poet Jo Richter (Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches)
@sonic-textures
Poem and conception by Jo Richter with narration and sounds by Mono-Lux - created between Dec 2021 and Jan 2022

“narcoleptic somnambules
consumers of hot summer dates
here’s another post hypnotic trigger
implanted by that giggly jingle
dance the transsomatic landfills
dance the cisapocalyptic skies
dance the tarmac, dance volcanic
dance the lord and dance the flies

narcoleptic somnambules
lost mnemonic virtuals
here’s another transtraumatic flipper
sponsored by your self-parenting guide
dance the cleptotronic chromosphere
dance the micro plastic surge
dance the trolley, dance the alley
dance chromatic, dance your urge

narcoleptic somnambules
purveyors of emoji eyes
here’s another sonoclastic ripper
tearing up with bluetooth kites
dance the thanocultic road code
dance the toxins pressed in shists
dance pollution, dance profusion
dance the hit and dance the missed”

This is the second collaboration between Mono-lux and the poet Jo Richter A.K.A. Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches
@sonic-textures
Poem and conception by Jo Richter with narration and sounds by Mono-Lux - created Jan/Feb 2022

“the less to remember
the more to listen
gifts from the ice age
reverberate
a simple story
a forest
a coastline
entangled in silence
one starts to relate”

Small Gifts

Collaboration with "sonic structures and silent stretches"!!

<< Poetry >>
it‘s not like
she doesn‘t understand
what this silence
around her
is for

after all
there‘s this desire
feeding meditaton industries
monetizing inner calm
awareness

each human being
a kettle about to boil over
spill watery, bubbly, glittering marbles
sweet nothings kept for
nobody‘s sake

each mind‘s mouthpiece
a pressure valve, vibrating
under strain not to let off steam
verbosely explode
right nto her face

she still wouldn‘t mind
for this audience of roaring silences
to turn a listening ear
towards her artistic endeavours
every now and then

Poetry is Vital
sound space and time
structuring impulse
carving chiselling kneading morphing
large and small gifts

He is generous enough to allow me to use his track with my poem. Thank you!
Narration: I wrote this poem nearly thirty years ago, embroiled in all the aftermath messiness of a split-up. It was first published in a collection of poetry  bearing a line of this poem in the title that was published under the pen-name 'sonogara' which I had used during that period - three copies sold ;-)

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

Tjost

sie, in seide gehüllt
blüte um blüte um blatt
ihr stolz hat wolken gestillt
die sind nun müde und matt

er, aus höllen empört
von glut im kometenkranz
und plasmaströmen genährt
halb loh, halb zunder, halb glanz

noch tanzen roh die säbel
noch rast ein loser sturm
verschlungen hängen nebel
im windschnitt hinterm turm

Tjost - with guitar by Ingvar Tautra

this is an open collaboration based on Jo's Lovely poem,vocals, and drumbeats @sonic-textures- I added some acoustic guitar and some FX  and grew those sunflowers--

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
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 bitterswee

When reading, I voiced an earlier version of the first verse - just for variation's sake

nettle seed, the serial rendition - with nic and stonerjazz

Jo's lyrics sounded sad to me.  What began as a sad folk song gradually evolved into a full blown cry-in-your-beer country song - with crying steel guitar.  I don't know the first thing about playing a steel guitar so I had to sort of trust my ears.  I'm always open to suggestion from anyone, but I'd especially like to hear from you steel guitar players out there :)

Nettle Seeds
by Jo Richter

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

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

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.
