I do love Richard D James and composed this inspired by him, modestly

We Are Quiet

SeaShea adds his unique atmospheric and chilled jazz infused guitar lines and layers to the much loved instrumental composed by my antiques in my index.

Mood Exhibit & Pfaender - When we Felt

A simple chord structure always amazes me by how it can evoke such grand and majestic emotions... and everything else!  I was captivated by the opening phrase and thought "someone must have written this before".  If you know, tell me!

A Hymn of Hope

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

Blown Away

Abstract World 140 BPM

© 2024 Pantomime Riot

Silence uncelestial 
And Inner thoughts so bestial 
The sacred token ripped away 
Let’s face the moon on another day 

Falling dew drops from the sky
Just polarise no reason why 
So can you cut the hand that taints 
And cast away newfound restraints 

Universal consciousness 
Free thinking that will ever bless 
Just reach for thise anarchic ways
Turn within and see how it plays 

Falling dew drops from the sky
Polarise no reason why 
Can you cut the hand that taints 
Cast away newfound restraints 

Reach that plain and cast your spell
Arise up from the pull of hell
Spiritual molecule 
Will overcome the inner dual

Falling dew drops from the sky
Polarise no reason why 
Can you cut the hand that taints 
Cast away new found restraints

SACRED

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)
