He Was Classical She Was Heavy

Satin Doll -- the immortal Duke Ellington, with natural and artificial accompaniment

For Astrid. And for Hashmat, Turan, Julia  and all of Astrid's family and friends. If you knew her or met her, you're lucky. If you didn't, look for someone who is bright and kind and full of the love of life. They are the ones we need  more than ever .               Christine and Simon ~ XX forever

In The Belly Of A Scarecrow (prelude)

made with Bitwig Studio

Déformations

There is a room
Deep underground
Metallic walls
A buzzing sound

There is a man
Who sits inside it
There is no door
There is no exit
There is no hope
Where there's no spirit

He doesn't want to leave
He doesn't want to go
He doesn't want to crawl out
From inside that hole

A thousand years 
Have come and gone
Still hears the music 
But not the song
Remembers summer
Remembers rain
Won't ever see 
The sun again

He doesn't want to leave 
He doesn't want to go
He doesn't want to crawl out
From inside that hole

There is a light 
It leaves a trail
But over his eyes
There is a veil

Dedicated to those who oppose.
---------------------------------
All sounds - including the music - were recorded during a rally against evictions, gentrification and police violence in Berlin on May 28, 2025.
Recording, editing, mixing and production: Velvet Something Superdark. 
Image: Police gather near the rally (Photo: VSS).
Spoken words at 2:48 (English translation): 
For every house evicted, there will be new occupations. For every killing, the cops will pay the price. We are here in firm determination and solidarity and we are showing that we will not be defeated. Get active! We don't have much to lose - but we have our freedom to gain.

Those Were The Days

Watch on YT for all the patching and knob fiddling.
https://youtu.be/L4jA0x-jnEo

Jam from scratch, as in: Everything is unpatched by the time I start the jam, no sequencers running or even connected to a shared clock, and all oscillators on init settings.

...and then I build the track during the 5 minutes of the jam from that 🥰

This was a very very fun challenge by the Hardware Jams FB group!

Industrial Jam from Scratch

Silent Radiance

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

On the 6th of August, please listen to STRANGELOVE'S BRAIN and be aware of kindness.

I am overjoyed to partake in something beautiful:

Jeff also gifted me a visiting role on his previous album: 
https://stonerjazz.bandcamp.com/album/quintessential

On his bandcamp page, Jeff points out: "This is the page where you can give some monetary support to me and the StonerJazz experiment."

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)
