Ahhh this is so good--Completely Ear to EAr with my Grin:):)

Das ist so gut, jeder einzelne ton, ist super intensiv und hat total viel raum, erzeugt auch dadurch einen eigenen Rhythmus. Tolle Arbeit

I was quite happy to work on this track, but didn't understand the words -- now reading them, this is great poetry and a fitting soundscape to go with it! It was fun to contribute to the final sound, cheers my friend

MASTERED BY TEA ARE SEA - thank you, Terry, for resuscitating these sounds!  https://soundcloud.com/tea_are_sea

method: contact mics into t resonator, reface dx, vt 4, voice, zoom r 20, samplitude, audacity - and asking Terry of Tea Are Sea to save the day - which he kindly did. 
narration: the poem is some four to five years old and published in one of my private collections …. nondescript places can also combine with, arrange, adjust experience … sympoetic localities ….

poem / copyright jo richter:

dort, wo sie oft weilt,
sieht sie blind. sie fühlt nicht
wie die, die unvertraut
mit den hier lauernden impulsen
sind, denen die marmorierung
dieser erstarrung, dieses verfalls
noch nie ihr außen-ich bot.
sie er-
hält sich, fasst sich, nun, da es leer ist, weil

alles schon da war, stets,
als bleibe auch sie sich
gleich, als
strömten nicht neue namen unheimlich
durch sie,
mit jedem molekül atemluft, smartphonegeläut,
imbissgeruch. die menschen hier aber
sind immobiler als die gebäude, so
wirkt es
ihr. in den fugen nisten die spinnen, wie immer
wenn sich etwas regt - unwillkürlich und außer dem takt
stürmt es bei den antipoden.

interlinear version:

cast replica // in places she often stays at / she is blind. she does not sense / like those not familiar with / the impulses stalking / here, to whom the marbling / of this torpor, this decrepitude / has never shown its outside-I. / she keeps / herself up, her countenance, now, that id‘s empty, for // everything has already been around, ever, / as though she remained / the same , as / though unnamed names were not streaming eerily / through her / with each and every molecule of breath, of smartphone ringing, / of the smell of take-away food. people here, however, / are less mobile than the buildings that‘s / what it appears to be like / to her. the spaces in between have spiders nesting, as usual / when something moves – unintentionally and out of timing / storms are brewing where antipodeans live //

Misalignment Of Notes

POETRY IS VITAL

This threshold space exists for those who feel like listening to some of my quite professional poetry embedded in rather amateurishly recorded but judiciously arranged sound, a modicum of purely acoustic work notwithstanding.  Fortunately, some other artists have also transformed the symbolic expression of my words into the tangible beauty of real songs and soundscapes - just listen to Sympoetic Ultrasounds: https://soundcloud.com/sonic-textures/sets/sympoetic-ultrasounds !

SOUND, SPACE AND TIME

Tend your listening senses gently. Even though my general approach welcomes and embraces lo-fi concepts like the precision of spontaneously occuring imprecisions, headphones worth their membranes are recommended - unless you like your sounds flat, mangled, battered and helpless. You don't, do you? Be kind to these soundscapes.

STRUCTURING IMPULSE

Due to the nature of "poetry soundscapes", your listening expectations regarding traditionally structured "songs", sonically purified "raw wildlife soundscapes", keyboard-laden "ambient recordings" or voice-centered "readings" might not be met. You will find some of those in my list of /likes/. "Noise" is a recurring structural element like any other. This is what this sounds like - within its own rights, limitations, tangents and interconnections. Sonic structures. Silent stretches. Poetry emerges from the gaps between the ruts, seeps in from the undergrowth, sweeps down.

CARVING, CHISELLING, KNEADING, MORPHING

A quick glance into my toolshed rests on Zoom recorders, Samplitude software and a dizzying array of diverse sonic machinery. After all, sound is one way my poems know to materialize - insolently shapeshifting, indelibly greening into the cultural real.

LARGE AND SMALL GIFTS

-----------------------------
Small Gifts

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
---------------------------------------------

In case you have read up to this point, you might be a sonic creator yourself. May I ask you for a helping ear? Above, there is a tiny poem of mine that I do not understand how to translate into sound. If you do - please act on it. It is a matter of common decency, of course, to keep the title (Small Gifts) and to credit the lyrics to me (jo richter). And please do notify me of your version via a soundcloud message. One bewilderingly beautiful version crafted by mono-lux has already gone public, as well as an amazing version by cthonicist.  You'll find both in my playlist Sympoetic Ultrasounds. This is just a small gift, not a challenge - life already has more than enough of those on offer, doesn't it? Treat it this way.

POETRY IS VITAL
sound, space and time
structuring impulse
carving, chiselling, kneading, morphing
large and small gifts
poetry is vital

GENERAL POLICY regarding the use of LIKES, REPOSTS and FOLLOWS:
I like what I like and want to hear again.
I only repost what I've had a hand in creating.
I follow when I see directions or arrivals I like, not when followed (though I might peek in to get an idea of what your sounds are about). I have set myself a limit of accounts I follow not be all too overwhelmed. Not following does therefore not mean I do not appreciate what you contribute to the enjoyments of soundcloud.
Do not expect other behaviour from me.
(jo richter)
