The music is very experimental! Nice work ! Beautiful achievement! ❤️Love, 🕊️Peace, 🙏Respect

I like the meditative quality of the music. And your whisper/spoken vocal presentation is quite evocative.

Just read the lyrics (poetry). Very nice indeed. And you create a great musical stage for your poetry, Jo. :)

There's More To Be Had

The ancient metropolis of Istanbul probably derives its name from the Greek 'Stin Polis' ('in the city')(according to Sean Lusk's excellent book 'The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesly)having previously been Constantinople the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
This incredible city spans the continents of Europe and Asia and reflects aspects of both in its culture and people.

Istanbul

Our band was named Watchglass just after I joined and one of Mark's science teacher friends joked that we may as well have called ourselves Petri Dish. This is the song I wrote to give our band name more deep and meaninglfulness. Oh and we will be recording a modern version of this soon! 

Lyrics:
If I could sift out
All the elements
Maybe I could find out
What it's all about
A grain of sand
Or beach in summer tones
An autumn leaf
Or an ocean to the depths below

Well I took a step back
Then I made it three times a million
And what did I see
I saw the thing that keeps us turning

A lover's glance
Or fans at a Beatles show
A drop of dew
Or an ocean to the depths below
A bird in fight
or just a wish for a higher place
A single step
On an upwards staircase

Oh I took a step back
Then I made it three times a million
And what did I see
I saw the thing that keeps us turning

Oh oh, keeps us turning
Fires burning, yearning or even hurting
Love
All that was left in my Watchglass after all

Watchglass

Love me keep me

Method: It‘s complex. 
Narration: Just think of Paris, millenia later.
Image: Another (altered) section of the original Tiny Inclusions illustration. Yes, I guess 'blue' might have been seen in ancient Greece as well.

poem / copyright jo richter:
(as published in: Tiny Inclusions, in: Auslegpapier)

Out of the blue
he is back, has returned.
It is the Klein kind of blue,
to be precise. He must have
stared at the picture for hours.
.
The walls reek of bliss.
His own smell carries that stink.
Long before he had realized it,
his senses had learned
to abhor beauty.
.
.
It is now that
he remembers his name.
He was the one who courted,
beguiled Helen, took her to Troy.
His name, the gods took him here to remember his name.
.
.
.
All his life, he had fought his way along
the Hausmann lines of perfection
that used to encircle his palace. Armies of strangers.
This is where they end, in a blue
square on a gallery wall
reeking of bliss,

blue

Echoes

Unfortunately, more and more people of music are leaving us. Fortunately, great music remains. Tina Turner passed away a few days ago and that's what prompted me to do this cover.
Video can be watched here:

I invited Per (PJ Project) to collaboration. He accepted the invitation (thanks Per!) and added another guitar, bas, drums and mixed it all up. Here's what came out of it. This is placed for now on my YT channel.

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 to 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.
