I like your prose writing and the way you create your sound universe. very interesting project .gonna follow..)

Intriguing poem I'm enjoying repeated listens. the disembodied mind and the incremental nature.. moving stuff.

They Haven't Invented Music Yet

Hi and welcome to the 6th track by "Then She Reaches For The Gun". Huge thanks everyone involved! people come, people go and new stuff happens : ) 

The project’s inspiration is two fold: Firstly its a homage to some of the stuff i grew up listening to like Mr. Bungle and other noisy bastards where anything goes, and often in quick fire succession and secondly it” a chance to work with an never ending stream of talented musicians that i have known for years either in real life Australia or via the Internet. Each track will no doubt change depending on who has sent me what. 

Post-Woke Cunt features the following artists

Vartch - Voice
Nosensend - Keyboards
Dane Renshaw - Drums
Muterial -Electronica
W:I:L-o’ the-wisp - Keyboards
Ariad Music- Clarinet/Percussion
The Windscale Blues Experiment - Saxophones
Thomas Bergheim - Bass
Hverheij - PIano
Bellai Pelegrim - Electronica
Glenn Ward - Cunt
Dylan Banks - Voice
Adam Meredith - Voice 
PuppetXeno- Synths
Axel Weis - Guitar
Widar’s Spiritual Front - Electronica
Primaloop -Drums

Me - Bass/Noise

If you would like to be part of this ongoing project

The process is simple, I collect a bunch of random recordings from people and then see what i can arrange from it. Nothing subtle here, just huge noisy fun : ) I am open to anyone that thinks they might like to be part of this mess. Drop me a message and i will send you my email. The only criteria is that i wont be using samples from TV/film/other music etc, so just original stuff played on instruments, field recordings, stupid drunk conversations etc. Cheers!

There Is No One In The Room

Tea plantations on the planet Athoek, the location of some intrigue in Ann Leckie's book, Ancillary Sword.
I took inspiration from the early work of Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou (Vangelis)RIP. I loved how he combined traditional Greek instruments with electronics on "Earth".  "Heaven and Hell"  remains a personal favourite.

FORCEFIELD DRAGONS - Dark Trip Into Thee Lovelight

Taneb x Echo's Dream Diary - Patricia Ovalio (Love Mix)

method: plain reading, no frills.
narration: it's abstract. The title again refers to one of alexander gottlieb baumgarten's categories.

poem / copyright jo richter:

the embodied, sensual mind can only venture
so far, whereas the unshackled, disembodied mind can roam
freely within rational logics, conjectures and models

he remembers reading tomes, yellowing pocket books, displays
and thrice only he came into contact with medieval parchment
vellum, heroically illuminated, gloriously saved

sure, he had tried to bridge the gap, scratch into
home-made clay tablets - he was a writer, however, not
an artisan, and disliked the infantile, unwieldy outcome

inherently, languages are prone to transform, to vanish
and the lore of culture now hovers above a digital void
of impermanence amidst rainbow-coloured candy wrappings

sloterdijk's philosophy of foams, bubbles, globes and spheres
will not sustain the sedimentation of this geological stratum
much like leibnitz', kant's, nietzsche's, heidegger's, cassierer's, other's

how do you theorize for a red-hot, amorpheous future
when all the sublime moves of the mind will blaze
up in a consciousness alien to the present, scorching

do not rely on forces beyond your grasp, the
stoicists said, and lao tze kindly dictated for a single
border official, aware of the incremental nature of knowledge

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 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.
