method: sounds from field recording, voice (just another instrument, I guess) and toy harp (the one seen in the picture) via pedals
narration: that cult is one of the oldest we know of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirah
picture: taken by myself on the banks of the argen river

poem / copyright jo richter:

scales in the sun
sparkling, bright
liminal lisping
seductive sight

coiled conundrum
confusing, tight
contorting circles
cymatic tide

slender senses
snaking the void
looking for loves
and lives to exploit

cuneiform letters
pressed into clay
where there is beauty
predators prey

connecting the cosmos
completing the course
ligament nexus
umbilical force

Happy solstice, 
Bonne fête de la musique, 
Et en soutien aux soulèvements de la Terre.

Lyrics:

I took the sun
With a cat of
milk and honey
Came the wind
Mast
And defining
My waking skin
On the brains of the sky
There
Metabolized
Consciousness is seen 
Poetry
Of the life that is said
planets
big bang flowers
And achenes of black hole
Enough
Certifies the purr
Let them break the complexion!
she whispers
Not to fear the storm
The Lush Collapse
'Cause it's time
To become a storm

Solstice Of No Return

It"s so noisy for all our sea dwellers, the Orcas are telling us to turn it down please.
A highly intelligent social animal that can live 100 years and remember when the sea had no sonar ,drilling or engine noise ,its must so hard to hear your mates and hunt for your food .Quiet please.

ALL THE WAY
Written, Performed, Produced & Mastered
by Andrew Borderick Copyright 2020

IT'S JUST MADE OR MADE FROM LOVE OF YOU
INTO THE WORLD IT GROWS BECAUSE OF TWO
AND THE LOVE HAS BEGUN WHEN YOU SEE THE LIGHT
YOU'LL BE HAVING SO MUCH FUN
GROWING IN THE EYES OF LOVE
YOU WONT HAVE TO MAKE A CRY

IT TAKES TWO TO MAKE THE WORLD GO AROUND
AND THE WAR BEGINS BUT THERES NO SOUND
AND THE SUN HAS GONE DOWN, I STILL SEE THE LIGHT
YOU WONT HEAR THE BABY CRY 
AND LAUGHING IN THE NIGHT
AND THERE WONT BE TWO
(chorus)
I WANT TO MAKE IT, WANNA MAKE IT COME TRUE
I WANT TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY HOME BY YOU
I WANT TO MAKE IT, WANNA SEE IT COME TRUE
I WANT TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY HOME WITH YOU
(break)
AND THE LOVE HAS BEGUN WHEN YOU SEE THE LIGHT
YOU'LL BE HAVING SO MUCH FUN
GROWING IN THE EYES OF LOVE
YOU WONT HAVE TO MAKE A CRY
(chorus)
I WANT TO MAKE IT, WANNA MAKE IT COME TRUE
I WANT TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY HOME BY YOU
I WANT TO MAKE IT, WANNA SEE IT COME TRUE
I WANT TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY HOME WITH YOU
(break)
I WANT TO MAKE IT, WANNA MAKE IT COME TRUE
I WANT TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY HOME BY YOU
I WANT TO MAKE IT, WANNA SEE IT COME TRUE
I WANT TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY HOME WITH YOU

IT'S JUST MADE OR MADE FROM LOVE OF YOU

ALL THE WAY

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 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)
