Drunken Islands - Kinsâme

Foggy is a jazzy rhythmic piece with some brass in it. It's on spotify now!

Foggy

I been everywhere, but nowhere at all.
Wide open spaces , where they're building a wall.
Reinvented myself so many times.
Changed my hair ,my face, it must be a crime.

I don't know if I'm coming or going.
At all.

We try our best to cross the finish line.
But as it goes, the stars won't align.
Always departing , when i'm supposed to arrive.
Chasing taillights on the Interstate 5.

I don't know if I'm coming or going.
At all.

Hopes and fears , one cannot ignore.
Locked in a room, without windows or doors.
So backdated, forgetting to pray.
For destinations, so far away.

I don't know if I'm coming or going.
At all.

Coming Or Going

narration: the history of voice recreation and vocoding  is not only shrouded in the cold-war kind of truth but also a token of man's technological preoccupation with mirrors

poem / copyright jo richter:

time has slipped below the dial  
into an interstitial zone -
an abyss marking mass‘ modal 
iterations, as interference-prone 

as any mental skill held in a vial 
made of human flesh and bone -
meta-breathing arbitrary model 
citizens, grouped in groups and cloned alone

Gratitude, section 3.
a collection of 5 Francophyllic homages derived from the third jam session by 
Duo Treason (Joel the Mole (gtr) and David Nelson (pno).
Each of these pieces are love letters or thank-you notes to composers 
who have enriched our ears.They are not intended to imitate styles or particular works, 
but instead meant to pay tribute for the lasting gifts these musicians have provided.
Recorded on 5/13/24 in Mamaroneck NY.
Joel plays a 1950’s Giannini classical guitar and a Yamaha Silent Classical. 
David plays a Steinway grand, Model L.
Artwork is a detail from a scratchboard work by Peter Wickenden.

The creative process is an addiction but not an obsession.
This short sentence is repeated numerous times with one layer slowed down and the whole subjected to a chain of changing effects.

An Addiction (disquiet0707)

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:

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)
