The Wood Winds' Special - 2

Method: Cassette tape noises – efforts to rewind are no good.
Narration: What exactly is it that we – humankind – are submitting to?

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

two thousand years of believe make us cherish
isolated conifers dying
while radio stations haughtily spill out
tacky, bloated ectoplasm

for the earth is as flat as an ironing board
stretching out to a panhandle eden
so all you have to do is incite a war
to haul in the welcome rapture

and children are held in cellophane wrap
in caverns where lizards rule
while technological priests are dousing devices
in spray-tan delusions of functional beauty

those seas of nanotech currents
spill innovation‘s sediment plastic
onto the conscious corals bleaching
for the longest night lasts forever below

and the new year of metaversal tint
holds the secrets of aquarian splendour
and truth is truth and truth is dead
as men run in rags to the talisman vendour

this loss of balance pumped venuses heat
an ancient alien whispers
while druids of wisdom try to replant the groves
where symbionts used to frolick

I received an answer song from Germany because I received a song that imaged my town, Osaka. 
　In the Japanese archipelago, where there are many disasters, even if major disasters occur frequently in the surrounding area and people die, no major disasters have occurred in Osaka Prefecture since the beginning of modern times. 
　We are peaceful and enthusiastic about business, and there are many comedians living in the area, and many of the inhabitants are good at jokes like comedians before their debut. 
　However, in the hearts of the inhabitants, there is a feeling of peace and fear that it is economically inferior to Tokyo and that the next major disaster must be Osaka's turn. I am.
Everyone loves the area where they were born and raised. Me too. The location in the photo is a mix of complex buildings that symbolizes the light and shadow of prosperity and is my favorite landscape.

This song has had a facelift, I originally wrote it back in 2001, then I rewrote parts of it in 2020 during the pandemic, then I recently touched it up a bit and produced a video for it. It's a little weird but I tried to convey the feeling when you're starting to lose your mind and life becomes harder and harder to deal with, it's a bit Grungy. I had to edit it down because it was like 6 minutes long! If you watch the video when I post it on YouTube, it will all become clear! It's a bit disturbing so listen with an open mind! This is not for everybody, I've had this buried for like over 20 years. This audio is from the video that's why it's so noisy.

“DON’T KNOW WHAT?”

DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY MIND?
ON THE VERGE AND BORDERLINE,
DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ALL WORTH GOING THROUGH?  
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO?             
      
DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE REALLY TRYING TO SAY?
NOTHING'S WRONG I'M OKAY, 
DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL THIS FUSS IS ABOUT? 
I'LL WORK IT OUT,

DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COME OVER ME?
I'M SEEING THINGS I AIN'T SUPPOSE TO SEE,
WHY DO I HAVE TO CHANGE,
INTO SOMEONE I DON'T WANT TO BE?  
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COME OVER ME?
         
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY HEAD?
SUICIDAL THEY ALL SAID, 
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY BRAIN?
CAN'T STAND THE PAIN,

DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY LIFE?
GETTIN' HIGH MAKES IT ALL RIGHT,       
DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO LIVE OR DIE?
CAN'T STAND THE LIES,
          
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COME OVER ME?
I'M SEEING THINGS I AIN'T SUPPOSE TO SEE,
WHY DO I HAVE TO CHANGE,
INTO SOMEONE I DON'T WANT TO BE?  
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COME OVER ME?  
  
DON’T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY MIND?
ON THE VERGE AND BORDERLINE,
DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ALL WORTH GOING THROUGH?  
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO?

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)
