LARGE

This is an instrumental made throughout the sound processing of one single vocal sample. All the sounds elements in the song are created by me, starting from the same single sample. Because of it, the song is called "Atomo"

Happy New Year everybody!

This is a live recording in preparation for my recent gig at Cafe Oto, unedited.

Just starting the journey somewhere, working things out as I go along.

Enjoy!

Narration: I've always been wondering why there are so very few lullabys for the not so very young. This is an attempt at creating one. There is an interlinear translation below the German lyrics.

Lyrics/ copyright jo richter:

einschlaf, zweischlaf, dreischlaf
ein nebelwald aus schweigen
wen das halbe licht traf
dreht mit in morpheas reigen

einträum, zweiträum, dreiträum
so hoch das rispengras
im hasensassenheim
beim großen weiß-nicht-was

ein wohl, zwei wohl, drei wohl
allen, die tief schlummern
tagab ist erde hohl
wo tieftriebwerke wummern

interlinear translation: go to sleep, double sleep, triple sleep / a hazy forest growing silence / those met by half light / join Morphea's ringdance // go to dream, double dream, triple dream / into the high gras / around the hare's hollowed home /   near the huge do-not-know- what // go to comfort, double comfort, triple comfort /  everyone in deep slumber / down the day, the earth is hollow / with drive systems humming deeply, rhythmically

dreischlaf

Hand in Hand,
das dunkle Band, 
was ich mit dir fand,
verlorener Verstand!
Verstand …
Verstand …

Wir sind frei,
vergessen und vorbei,
dunkle Liebelei,
es ist vorbei!
Vorbei …

Ich bin eins mit dir,
komm mit mir,
komm zu mir, 
jetzt und hier!

Augen voller Licht,
Hände finden sich,
du machst mich glücklich, 
und auch sterblich!

Kein Wort mehr fand,
ich verschwand,
ein Tränenmeer,
schau mir hinterher,
ein Tränenmeer!
Ein Tränenmeer!

A mind cracked sinks and is carried away by circumstance.

It Was The Worst Few Hours Of My Life

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.
(jo richter)
