You make such beautiful soundscapes...I've tried to comment on a few of your tunes, but the comments just won't save, even when I've gone back to try and comment again.  So fingers crossed this one saves!

Natural born dope sweet vibes..one and only jo's world..Scratch from which source?

Modern Artists like Leon Bridges and Son Little marry hip hop or RnB rhythms often to acoustic based songs. Its an opportunity to blend elements that you love from 2 generations of music into one song - some lyrical bite, sweetened by 60s vocal harmonies.


FAKING IRONY

I see your troubles start from within
And she is prickling cause you’re so wooden
Look at her sparkle like the lemon
Floating on her pour of bubbly gin

Life is serious but only at certain times of day
Where’s the gazelle leap to release your mind to play

It’s a hard road when you take everything literally
If only you could take a course in faking irony
But here you are your face is pinched and spidery
If only you could take a course in faking irony

For you gravity and time operate differently
You’re drowning in the history of epiphany
Will you ever get to feel for the other side
Letting go that crippling brainy ultra-pride

She needs a belly laugh that drops her to the ground
Nothing sexy ‘bout your analysing head up in the clouds

It’s a hard road . . . faking irony

Your birth blueprint and childhood pricked you like a thorn
But your conscience can’t be faulted and you’re always doing good
You probably can’t be changed and that’s an awful thought
Cause things I’m advocating - they probably can’t be taught

She needs a belly laugh that drops her to the ground
Nothing sexy ‘bout your analysing head up in the clouds

It’s a hard road . . . faking irony

A Murmuration of Starlings

"The Egerton Manuscript listed a 'murmuracyon' back in 1468 & most subsequent lists from the 15th Cent include this entry. As with many terms describing flocks of birds this one is inspired by the sound the birds make when they flock together."
[Chloe Rhodes]

Guitar used is a Fender Stratocaster hardtail.

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS.

Amiss

Joyeux Anniversaire. Erik Satie was born on this date May 17 in 1866.

In 1887 when he was 21, and before his famous Gymnopodies and Gnossiennes had been completed, Erik Satie composed this third Sarabande as one of three he wrote for piano. At the time he was an impoverished conservatory dropout making his living as a piano player in bohemian taverns and cabarets like Le Chat Noir. The Sarabandes were not published until 1911 with the support of Ravel who also introduced and performed the second Sarabande in concert in 1911. Here i've arranged the third Sarabande for 2 guitars doubled. Hope you enjoy the mystery and captivating harmony that attracted me to it.

'darlin''

Scratch Kelly: beats and backing vocals
Scotty: lyrics, vocals, guitars, art

Darlin'. You did leave me.
You set me free
from the chains you placed upon me.
And now I'm better off without ya.
Darlin'. I tried to plead.
Got down on my knees.
Still, you made my poor heart bleed
with your projections placed upon me. 

Oh, darlin'. I gave you everything
that you could need.
Yet in actuality
nothin' from me you were wantin'.
Now, darlin', I see through your screen
after smokin' the green
and it makes me believe 
that I'm better off now without ya.

Cast of Characters:

John_Anthony-- @john-anthony-871225464 --guitar, mandolin

The Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel – vocals

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and harmony on the end vocals

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– banjo, production, and mix

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, melody and harmony on the end vocals

This song began with John, who is a verifiable expert in all things Jimmy Page, asking Josh and the Eclectic Collective if they'd like to cover another Led Zeppelin song to follow Hey Hey What Can I Do? Of course, the Eclectic collective is always down to sink their teeth into some of the best rock and roll ever made. John found us recordings of the original Zep version that were separated into their individual tracks, so as we were adding, we could hear what our part would've sounded like playing with the original band. What a thrill!
  Ken was first to complete his part, and did a great job of capturing the frenetic energy of Bonzo. John was up soon after, amazing us with a note for note interpretation of Page on both the guitar and mandolin. Josh came next, after nearly deciding that JPS's part was too difficult. It wasn't. Then, when the bulk of the music was recorded, MD came through and stunned us with a brilliant interpretation of Plant's vocals. To bring it to a boil, Stephen then laid down his magical banjo in there, too. Lasty, Ken and Josh polished it off with some background vocals at the end. 
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, who in this case was Stephen. He managed to even it out and get it to sound not only like the album, but very dynamic, as well. 
  This is the EC's second collaboration with John, and we're all stricken by how proficient he is at playing Page's material. If you dig what we did here, you can check out the video, too, right here, of us playing. It's on John's YouTube page, which also contains scores of other favorites from Zep, Floyd, and others. If you are interested in seeing how your favorite Zep tunes were played, it's definitely worth a stroll through and watch.  Here's the link to his page. Also, you can find us doing Hey Hey What Can I Say? on there, too.  https://youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=7YqvUXLKkuXT4qjy
  We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Smells still kind of old fashioned eh?

You Are Gone (Demo 2017)

info: I re-replaced the soundcloud-mastered track (which was far too slick) with the gritty, under-produced and more lo-fi original (in which the birds sound more like themselves, at least)

poem / copyright jo richter:

der regen kam und blieb

selbst die gummistiefel der
bauern – und die bäche – wer
könnte nehmen, all das
nehmen – weg-
gespült, einfach fort-
gespült, die gummistiefel

(viel zu wuchtig an
schlanken reiherbeinen)

eltern setzen ihre kinder
in körbe – die alten
dürfen nicht sterben (wer
könnte bei dieser erde 
ein grab ausheben)

es ist noch nicht ganz sommer
(und irgendwo, in irgend-
einem ozean, wird ein winziger
walfisch geboren)

der regen aber blieb und blieb

interlinear translation:

flooding // rain came to stay // even the wellies of the / farmers – and the brooks – who / could have taken, have taken / all this -  up- / rooted, simply washed / away, the wellies // (far to bulky for / skinny heron legs) // parents placing their children / in baskets – the elderly / are not allowed to die ( for who / could dig a grave in / heavy earth ) // it is not fully summer yet / (and somewhere, in  / some ocean  a wee whale / is being born) // rain, however, stayed to stay //

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)
