■概要(Overview)
財布を家に忘れた！交通系ICカードの残高は残り僅か。
まいったなぁ。

I forgot my wallet at home! I only have a little money left on my transportation IC card.
I'm in trouble.

■歌詞
ああ　もうろくなことにならないわ
言葉にならない気持ちが
胸の奥を　締め付けてくるんだ
ノートにメモして　壁に貼り付けて
絶対、絶対　Ah 忘れないように Yeah

Oh my goodness
I think I left my wallet at home
I have to walk home
やっちゃったね　わっはっはっは
わっはっはっは・・

夕陽目に染みるぜ　お腹も空いてきた
Ah ポイントカードも財布の中

As I walked, sharpening my five senses

こんな道があったんだ　(La La La ...)
あそこのパン屋おいしそう　(La La La ...)
いいな　いいな　いいな　いいな(Don't think,feel)
五感を研ぎ澄まし　(La La La ...)
第六感に目覚める　(La La La ...)

What a wonderful day it is!
What a terrible song!
Just walk straight ahead.
Don't ever say it's bad luck.
Don't forget the important things.

歩いて帰ろう
健康にいいし
段々ストレスも
忘れてくるから

甘い！甘い！
それは甘いわ！
上り下り繰り返す道
コロッケ食べたくても
あと十円足りないわ！

■Lyrics
Ah, nothing good will come of it
These indescribable feelings
Tighten the depths of my heart
Write them down in a notebook and stick them on the wall
Never, never forget Ah Yeah

Oh my goodness
I think I left my wallet at home
I have to walk home
You did it, hahaha
hahaha...

The setting sun stings my eyes, I'm getting hungry
Ah, my point card is in my wallet

As I walked, sharpening my five senses

There was a road like this (La La La ...)
That bakery over there looks delicious (La La La ...)
Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice (Don't think, feel)
Sharpen your five senses (La La La ...)
Awaken to your sixth sense (La La La ...)

What a wonderful day it is!
What a terrible song!
Just walk straight ahead.
Don't ever say it's bad luck.
Don't forget the important things.

Let's walk home.
It's good for our health.
And it helps us forget about stress.

Sweet! Sweet!
That's so sweet!
The road goes up and down repeatedly.
Even if I want to eat a croquette,
I'm ten yen short!

財布を忘れたわ(I forgot my wallet)

lyrics

I'm on the way
Won't be long now
I'm on the way
Won't be long
I'm on the way
I won't be much longer now
I'm on the way

Fight in the woods
Smoke in the cud
Fight in the woods
Smoke in the cud
I'm on the way
I won't be long now
I'm on the way
now

I'm here
It's on
I'm here
It's on
I'm here
It's on
I'm here
It's on
I'm here 
It's on

no more

on the way

As I'd mentioned in the other version of this track, I sent some stems over to @enigmacurry and he produced to amazing mixes. I really wanted to release both of them even though this one is ridiculously long, I found Ryan's creative iterations and evolutions of the source material to be super fascinating on here.

Fractal Traffic A (epic extended mix) - w/ Enigma Curry

Jacob's Ladder

This tune began with just the upright bass (played on keyboard) & flute part (played with real flute), that were inspired by an old song that Mark liked a lot by an English Jazz trio called The Herbaliser.  Once he had it in progress, he asked me & Chris to see if we could contribute.

I added the trippy high pitch reverse guitar effect, and the bluesy lead guitar in the middle section (thus the title, Blue In The Middle). And Chris added some delightful atmospheric guitar and effects, as well as the Portishead influenced drum track. Mark was then inspired to add the background echo guitar sound in the middle section, and a bit of percussion and minor sound effects. 

Then Mark laid a really fine mix on it and I did the final mastering.  I'm glad Mark brought me in on this one, I really enjoy the ambience of it.

Blues in the Middle - w/ Mistermark and CGManess

Climbing

Cheating lovers in a motel.

Lyrics:
At the Motel down by the Liquor Store
"Do not disturb" sign hangs upon the door
Informing Housekeeping of the status of "Our Armour"
You arch your back in a way that I just can't ignore

You say I'm a simpleton
I just watch my pay per view
Your minds on him
And my heart feels so blue
Because I'm
Full-time bastard
I'm your part-time handsome man
Part-time, handsome man

Does your husband see your sad eyes?
And think their true?
I feel like a small part of you
Housekeeping comes once a day
But you like to cum 
So much more than that
You say

Baby, I'm a simpleton
I watch my pay per view
Then I know your hearts with him
I know my heart is blue
I'm a full time bastard
What are you?

I'm your part time handsome man...

image (showing this very poem on sheets of paper, in voynich minds): Jeff Gardiner in collaboration with jo richter

while I was snoozing in the scalar field
i dreamed about a maple staff
with inlaid gold and bone and sacred glyphs
it began to sing in delightlful shades of blue

like sky and water and turtle shells
and peels of strings of bells, wrapped around the waists
of woman dancing veiled in skanes of silk, all red and black
and oranges from the amazon
that orange meat, so juicy sweet!

a blade already broken, a token of persuasion
lving in the last creation
the actor trying out for all the parts
better some than others
clarity is something seldom found
just like reason, overrated
turn that little voice off in your head, he said -

redeem it when you find it if you're able. then forget it
then forget it for the favor of a lover
while the mother of redemption stands at attention
did I mention the monster, he's an alien
with eyes like fire, a liar and a loner

a believer a retriever with a pagan predilection
basking and engulfed in the sunlight and the scented artificial flowers
of he valley in the meadow where she's waiting
with the golden sunlight and mountain flowers in her auburn hair
writing letters to her lovers in the air;;-

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)
