Outstanding work!! Is that vocoded singing by Stonerjazz as well? :) <3 It sounds like him!

I was excited to see 'shoegaze' rendition, I am a fan of that genre for sure. Very interesting production techniques on this one, love your innovation and creativity Jo!

looking on the bright side of life

The night slowly surrenders (At the gates of dawn)

(In the Springtime of his discontent, how the husty lunger was upon him. His solvent wraith, projected into the higher ether. How was he too know? That his shadow was rooting into the nightmare latitudes to lay with the terror of all things. That the third lung would attack him, straight through till Winter.)

I've got alot to hold,
deep down here in the mold,
me and my damaged brain,
still trying to explain,
I've got alot to hold,
I've got alot to...

I cannot walk the walk,
I cannot talk the talk,
me and my damaged brain,
(and it's glitching)
still trying to explain,
(and it's itching)
I've got alot to hold,
I've got alot to,
I've got alot to...

Variation on a Theme by Sanshu Seiso - First Part of Triptych

The magnificent work of Sanshu Seiso, from which this variation was directly and slavishly derived, is here: https://soundcloud.com/sanshu-seiso/y-brume 

I am most grateful to Sanshu Seiso, for graciously allowing me to attempt variations....entirely inspired by his masterpiece. If there be any merit in this piece, full credit is due to Sanshu Seiso. Mistakes, on the other hand, are mine alone.

First Variation On 'Y-Brume' By Sanshu Seiso

Why Are All The Angels Eyes Missing Daddy And Why Are You Smiling?

Method: Having gifted myself a keeley parallax, I had to find some reason for heavy overuse ... coming to know the essence by allowing for a glimpse at extremes. I guess this myth allows for a higher than normal dose.
Narration: Variations of the myth of Echo can be found in many collections, most notably in Ovidus' Metamorphoses.  Ancient experience and modern technology can both find a home in this myth.
Picture: Based on a single photo I had taken in Rome, gimped.
How to listen: Headphones. Listen from the right and left sides, simultaneously, towards the center. Unexpectedly, the sound crystal shape will become discernible. Shine on!

poem / copyright jo richter
(as published in: A Single Loop of Fortunes):

When you enter the glade at the
foot of the mountain, you'll find
her next to the spring. Sit down.

Do not talk. She does not suffer
idle lies gladly, not at all. Made of
mirror neurons, she already knows.

Silence turns to stone, stone turns
to crystal, crystal remembers, reminds.
Do not think she does not listen.

Do not imagine she is merely
a glint in your eye, a speck of light
on some rockface near her spring.
She isn't. Watch out for your presence
will be unfurling within her forever.

Echo  (High On Shoegaze Rendition)

Atlanta’s “Bog Witch” and Boise’s “Mystic Tape Deck” announce the release of a new collaborative single, “Dogs of Chernobyl” to mark the anniversary of the Chernobyl Disaster.

Following the April 26, 1986 nuclear accident, the City of Pripyat was evacuated. The residents were forced to leave their pets (including domestic dogs) behind.  

Nearly 40 years after the accident, the descendants of these dogs are still living in the Exclusion Zone and a study is currently taking place. 

Scientists are sampling the DNA of the dogs. Apparently, their DNA is irregular in some interesting ways.

Wendy writes “I couldn’t sleep one night and picked-up my phone to surf when I noticed an article about the radioactive dogs of Chernobyl.  Right away it seemed like a song.”  

Wendy invited Mystic Tape Deck to collaborate with her in creating the sonic pallet for this song, the proceeds from all sales of which will be donated to the Clean Futures Fund. 

The Clean Futures Fund relies upon donations to provide medical supplies, vaccines, and food for the dogs living in the Exclusion Zone.  

Donate $1 or more to the Clean Futures Fund via Bandcamp and receive a download of the single: https://mystictapedeck.bandcamp.com/track/dogs-of-chernobyl

"Dogs of Chernobyl" - Bog Witch + Mystic Tape Deck

Teth Sin finally seems to be back with a cool wicked track called Gazelle, featuring his friend Luna on vocals/recitation. She decorated with her vivid poetry one of those creepy, dark soundscapes I've been working on these last few months. I sincerely thank her for this amazing contribution, and for her active involvement in the whole creative process of this title. Thanks for taking the time to listen to it.

Uncrowned queens, warrior princes,
the tiger flies in the air.
The flag howls in the cold of the sad west, and blond curls win.
The panther's lost the game, watching the sun.
The Gazelle weeps on her broken leg.
And she's alive

Luna: lyrics, vocals/recitation

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)
