Amazing bit of Magic going on! i particularly like the stanza describing what we swapped. Seems like that might be atributed to Sartre.

very creative and immersive, well written.

intense fine work , laugh the changing of your voice

前回のライブの輪郭部分を外し、エレクトロサウンドを強調したライブです！
前回のバリエーションになりますが、違った演奏になっています
I did a gig used almost same set but different content .
I took off outline and emphasized electronic sound

Love Psychedelia Live -2 !! @ 無力無善寺 2022-06-07

Method: An arpeggiated background and other stuff in the foreground. No field recording for once.
Narration: Trying to combine pareidolia with a myth told by Plato, a theory proposed by Timothy Morton and the existential experience narrated by Sartre in La Nausée. 

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

a week before her disappearance
the god convinced him not to go looking
and since she has shown up everywhere
even in flowers or cracks in the street
he did stop looking but he can‘t stop seeing

the cheek of the sun
the belly of the moon
the brow of the street-lamp
the mouth of the ridge

ever since the gods have split our rounded selves
to make our halved halves more eager to offer
and to prostrate before their altars, plato said,
we have been subject to the lure of fulfillment
to attraction, suggestion, projection, pareidolia

the voice in the chatter
the smile in the branches
the smell of the meadows
the thoughts of the birds

it was about twelve thousand years ago, another
philosopher said, that we swapped synergy
for energy, symbiosis for the notion of freedom
belonging for yearning, compassion for passion
and senses that perceive for senses that create

the song arouses
the idea lays out
the perfume seduces
the commodity is longed for

doctors tell him he suffers from trichotillomania
as tufts of hair compile in his hands, but he knows
better for where there was life and encounter, there
now is the void of the unknown, the shapeless nausea
of existential threat only comforted by fits of pareidolia

the gnarly root of the tree
the grin on the face of the jackal
the polka dots clothing the jester
the lack of her presence wherever he goes

pareidolia

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)
