wie ein Gemälde von Max Ernst (o.Ä.) .... Ich mag den Harmonizer und die experimentellen sounds !

soaking in the transporting vibe, always love you distinctive vocal effects, great subtle ambient production work, and fantastic poetry!

Welcome back my friend, loving the sonic experimentation in this! Wow, striking and otherworldly for sure

Another fantastic poem, love the flow of association from one line to the next

Venus

one of the very few tunes I've arranged almost entirely with sampled sounds & loops, this one was created entirely in Garageband without my trusty keyboard. Definitely going to try more of this...

instruments include upright bass, dobro (slide steel guitar), electric piano, vibraphones, drums, and me playing various percussion

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve.   :)

(From the Aug 21 2023 Broadcast)

In the 1600’s the Catholic Church begins the inquisition of physicist and astronomer Galileo Galilei. Galileo was ordered to turn himself in to the Holy Office to begin trial for holding the belief that the Earth revolves around the sun. 400 years later, the use of dogma to persecute the innocent persists, while in some areas of the world, church attendance and affiliation is dropping. ‘Dry Erase Marker’ creates a recording of an apocryphal weekly service broadcast, in the manner of an audio whiteboard of samples and scribblings related to these themes.

Somos De La Raza Humana

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
somos una cosa
que no comprendes

Vamos todos juntos
hacia algun lugar
una zona misteriosa
donde ya no hay mal

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que vez
tu y yo fuimos hechos
a la misma vez

Donde vamos a buscar?
donde vamos a encontrar?
dime para donde vas
no me dejes esperar

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
dime si no somos
a la misma vez

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
tu y yo somos
a la misma vez

Somos de la raza humana
somos de la misma piel
somos de la raza humana
que no tiene color
solo tiene sabor

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
dime si no somos
a la misma vez

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
tu y yo somos
a la misma vez

Somos de la raza humana
somos de la misma piel
somos de la raza humana
que no tiene color
solo tiene sabor

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
somos una cosa
que no comprendes

Vamos todos juntos
hacia algun lugar
una zona misteriosa
donde ya no hay mal

Donde vamos a buscar?
donde vamos a encontrar?
dime para donde vas
no me dejes esperar

Mirame a los ojos
dime lo que ves
somos una cosa
que no comprendes

Somos de la raza humana
somos de la misma piel
somos de la raza humana
que no tiene color
solo tiene sabor

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

We Are Of The Human Race

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
we are something
you don't comprehend

We all go together
to some place
a mysterious zone
where evil is no more

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
you and I were made
at the same time

Where will we look?
where will we find?
tell me where're you're going
don't let me wait

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
tell me if we're not
at the same time

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
you and I are
at the same time

We are of the human race
we are of the same skin
we are of the human race
which doesn't have color
it only has flavor

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
tell me if we're not
at the same time

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
you and I are
at the same time

We are of the human race
we are of the same skin
we are of the human race
which doesn't have color
it only has flavor

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
we are something
you don't comprehend

We all go together
to some place
a mysterious zone
where evil is no more

Where will we look?
where will we find?
tell me where're you're going
don't let me wait

Look me in the eyes
tell me what you see
we are something
you don't comprehend

We are of the human race
we are of the same skin
we are of the human race
which doesn't have color
it only has flavor

method: mostly real instruments through pedals, mostly parallax, vo1 and vt4; only bass via vst --- contact microphones on plastic cheese wrappings do tally as real instruments, don't they?
narration: actually, beyond the surface drama, this is quite a funny poem ... don't tell!
image: based on 'lost place' images taken by myself, layered, copyright jo richter

poem / copyright jo richter:

gasping, we stood in the carpeted entrance hall
Dr Malström, the psychiatrist , and I
enchanted by an automaton's hapless ritual
of smiling while fuses shorted and lit up to fry
 
on the wall, there were vials holding noses and lips
peculiar animal shapes - this is the I about to die
a hoarse voice boomed from a lectern made of Freudian slips
as I beheld Malström rouguishly melt down and liquefy
 
giving in to the succulent pull of the corridor
the most vivid, amazing realizations rushed by
each one more compelling, more truthful, more
enthralling, more eagerly willing to make me comply
 
when I passed a sinkhole, a pipe, in dad's slippers
girls roping skippers, all skinny dippers, cast in a die
to be cast, least but not last, my flippers
aghast, beast beached on Mars, all oceans run dry
 
settled into a nutshell, crustacean, my mind
grew a finely elongated stalk to carry my eye
which did not blink for millenia, utterly blind
for seeing affirms what it yearned to deny
 
time to be back, some voice broke through
as alien as familiar, neither brazen nor shy
just factual, stating the obvious, giving no clue
of the workings behind it, but real enough to de-petrify

gasping we stood

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)
