One More Step

The first song title I thought of was "War is just a nuisance to cats." However, my songs have a series of very emotional phrases. 
　So instead of using slogans, I decided to express my feelings in words.
　The sound of the war, created using a synthesizer, can only be heard faintly.
 That showed me that I was powerless.

Snowfall (Original Instrumental)

hat nun ca 20 jahre gedauert...wieder entdeckt und neu aufgenommen

It's taken about 20 years now...rediscovered and re-recorded...let it rock

Rode through the dawn

it is recommended to listen with good headphones or monitor speakers

method: loops playing off one another
narration: trying to narrow in on that dystopian yearning
image: copyright jo richter, based on a photograph of a sidewalk surface

poem / copyright jo richter:

we inhabit the engine rooms
moving in silence like tardigrade moss
albino wisdom, featureless hues
calcareous liquid on verdigris brass

we sleep in regeneration pods
designed by illustrious architects
there is no gain, there is no loss
make up your mind to love or neglect

fractal fixes

method: sound sources (crave, voice, field recordings, behringer swing into samplitude – cello, choir, chapel organ ) and recording and morphing devices (zoom r20, samplitude)
narration: the cycle ON PRINTING deals with projections, representations, pattern recognition, the energy of awareness, objectification and the like. it consists of six poems: rubble - horse - relic - spawn - banner- offset. this poem sonified is banner and banner wards off intrusion. I remember writing this poem as an act of self-defence on a train ride with sonically extensive human beings …..

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

the acoustic weaves hoisted
fold tightly around
this moment, this place -
envelop the traveller too weary
to cling to the counterpoint
of silence within

not composed
of anything but surfaces rough
and unaligned, these clusters
loudly crash
like bergs in the icy sea

oh for the mean me-ness
of every voice that
drowns out common
respite

The colorful symbols are my message to everyone... 🌍 ☮︎ 👍 🍀 2024 for a better world...!

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.

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)
