Mic check, one two, this ain't no game, 
The streets whisperin' secrets,
 'bout the life you lived 
Every dollar hustled, 
every line that you crossed 
The innocent you stepped on, 
at what ultimate cost? 
They say you can run, 
but you can't hide from the truth 
When the reckoning comes, 
for the sins of your youth. 
The angels ain't singin', 
just the siren's low hum 
Countin' down the seconds, 
'til your Judgement Day come.

(Chorus)
 Judgement Day! 
Hear the thunder in the sky!
 No more excuses, 
no more tears to cry. 
The ledger is open, e
very debt's laid bare 
The consequences comin', 
breathe it in like the air. 
From the concrete jungle, 
to the highest tower's peak 
The weak become the strong,
 and the silent finally speak.

You built your empire on lies, 
thought you were so slick 
But karma's a boomerang,
 comin' back to hit quick. 
The shadows you cast, 
now they risin' up tall 
Watchin' your kingdom crumble, 
about to take the fall. 
The gavel is droppin', 
no appeal, no delay 
Just the cold hard facts,
 on your Judgement Day.
So stand tall or cower,
the choice is truly yours 
When the final bell tolls, 
and they open up the doors.

She learns all your secrets, 
without a single sound 
Walks right through your defenses, 
without touching the ground. 
Your instincts won't detect her, 
your radar won't perceive

The intricate designs that she meticulously weaves
She's not looking for glory,
 no need for loud acclaim 
Just the satisfaction of igniting the flame. 
And when the dust settles, 
and the pieces fall in place 
She's already moved on, without leaving a trace.

A master of disguise
reads between the lines
sees through all your lies
Shes the unseen force
the hand that pulls the strings
The quiet revolution that the new brings
You’ll never know she’s there
til the mission is complete
A ghost in the machine
impecably discreet

he told me bout the trail in the tunnel
that I'm walking while
I'm thinking other people's thoughts
little voices
like your father's father's father's
farther than the others
all combined and confined to a tunnel of your thinkin
turn that little voice off in your head
he said


you may find it advantageous
in the long run
there's an exit but you gotta take it
while riding on the boxcars full of other people's junk
pulled by trains of thought
on shaky rails

the river rages while my faucet drips
consolation amasses around my hips
off the memory slide we slip
past pointers on the clock
ten times as tall as me
on the precipice of the sheer enormity of it

that old man who sat along the path
with bamboo cane and haversack
he said, while serving me
beans and rice and fruit and tea and bread
turn that little voice off in your head--

FUN FACT: 2024's 4th of July Hotdog eating contest in Chicago's winner was Bertoletti. He ate 58 hotdogs in 10 minutes.  It'd take me over 10 minutes just to eat one...If I took my sweet time!  
Tune into the news as the 2025 Chicago hotdog eating contest is going on now--That is IF you can 'stomach' watching it! ...I think I lost my appetite just thinking about someone else scarfing it down so fast...Ew, my gag reflex is kicking in, ah oh!!

TITLE: GRILLING & CHILLING
______________________________________________________________
LYRICS:
(Verse)
Flip the patties watch 'em sizzle hot
Sun is blazing but the shade's my spot
Cooler packed with drinks and ice so fine
Grilling and chilling yeah this day is mine

(Chorus)
Grilling and chilling with the squad so tight
Smoke in the air as the sun takes flight
Laughter echoes in the golden light
Grilling and chilling feels so right

(Verse 2)
Tongs in hand I’m the barbecue king
Friends are dancing let the good times swing
Corn on the cob dripping butter so sweet
Barefoot on the grass feel the summer beat

(Bridge)
Let the smoke rise let the music play
This is how we own a summer day
Flavors popping in the warm night glow
Grilling and chilling is the only way to go

(Chorus)
Grilling and chilling with the squad so tight
Smoke in the air as the sun takes flight
Laughter echoes in the golden light
Grilling and chilling feels so right

(Verse 3)
Fireflies are twinkling stars in disguise
Marshmallows roasting under moonlit skies
Cool breeze whispers as the night rolls in
Grilling and chilling let the party begin

'Meet' on Fire

whilst I was looking
for some kind of semblance
of something somewhere in the tangled undergrowth of
silent thoughts and bellow-voiced persuasions
that might be well described as somewhat sidewinded akin
to the kinesthetics of the barnacles and brambles and
cliffside-dangling while still clinging, perspiration hope
I met the transcendental hobo drifter
down in the scalar fields , tied with a rope
to roaming notions of delusion
and love and love and running from a mistress,
his or mine, known to be crow of crowleyan dimensions

endowed with much renown among the locals
for telling truth and spitting frogs
and hailing hail and splitting rocks
and all the while the transsedential drifter
ate from his open can of beans upon the pitted fire

and whispered ruthless, patient, cunning, sweet
on repeat:

[in the sonic version, the following 
icaro is overlaid by a voice-
over explaining the term "icaro"]

„the tunnel of dances
the funnel of trances
the fuel for chances
the focus of tidal glances
paint eyes on your forehead
wide eyes on your forehead
so the jaguar knows
so the jaguar knows
that you are not dead
not asleep and not dead
not asleep and not dead yet.“



and all I heard and all I got and all I simply understood
was to hush that voice, that voice within my head
to hush that voice, that voice within my head

it was then I noticed, not without bewilderment
the wooden spoon in his left hand
a spoon not made of silver
not silver and not gold but wood
and it was then I very nearly understood

Marathi Language Lyrics/Sanskrit:
Vyaktitam
(Verse 1)
मनसि तेजः स्फुरति यत्र
वाक्येषु सत्वं प्रकटं तत्र
व्यक्तित्वं तं हृदयेन जानामि
धैर्यं यस्येह सदा विलसति

(Chorus)
व्यक्तित्वं दीपः तमसो नाशकः
आत्मबलं यस्य आधारकः
सत्यं शिवं सुन्दरं प्रकटितं
व्यक्तित्वं तव विश्वस्य वन्दितं

(Verse 2)
नेत्रेषु ज्वलति सत्यं यः
हासे च स्नेहं प्रकटयति सः
कर्मणा धीरः कथयति जगति
सर्वत्र पूज्यः भवति जनः सः

[Bridge]
न केवलं बाह्यं स्वरूपं
अन्तः स्थूलं व्यक्तित्वं रूपं
सद्गुणैरलंकृतं चित्तं
तत्रैव सच्चिदानन्दं नित्यम्

(Chorus)
व्यक्तित्वं दीपः तमसो नाशकः
आत्मबलं यस्य आधारकः
सत्यं शिवं सुन्दरं प्रकटितं
व्यक्तित्वं तव विश्वस्य वन्दितं

(Verse 3)
धैर्यं च संयमं यत्र स्थितं
मूलं तस्य व्यक्तित्वं शुद्धं
सर्वत्र प्रकाशं यः वितरति
स एव सच्चरित्रं रचयति

English TITLE: VYAKTITVA (Personality)
LYRICS: 
(Verse 1) 
Where the brilliance shines in the mind, 
The essence is revealed in words, 
I know that personality with my heart, 
Courage shines here always. 
(Chorus) 
Personality is the lamp that dispels darkness, 
The strength of the soul is its foundation, 
Truth, goodness, beauty made manifest, 
Your personality is revered in the universe. 
(Verse 2) 
The one in whose eyes truth burns, 
Who expresses affection in laughter, 
Brave in action, speaks in the world, 
That person is worshipped everywhere.
 (Bridge)
 Not just the outer form,
The inner substantial personality shape, 
Adorned with virtues, the mind, 
There, indeed, is eternal truth and bliss. 
(Chorus)
 Personality is the lamp that dispels darkness, 
The strength of the soul is its foundation, 
Truth, goodness, beauty made manifest, 
Your personality is revered in the universe. 
(Verse 3) 
Where courage and control reside, 
The root of that personality is pure, 
He who distributes light everywhere, 
He alone creates true character.

... and when he found that he was bound
and finially did detect
the binding of his storybook's
superego infancy
and contemplated all his days and nights
and the fire in the pit, and how guitar strings sing
and swing back to all the songs they ever played
while his loyal self was off to work
to pay the rent and make a dent in debts incurred along the way
when they came due with each and every breath

oh desert mind, oh lemon heart
we should have taught the children from the start
and yes the moon was right
from the very first beginning , and every night since then
filled with our voices singing NOT
but sleeping longing in the dawning
of sentience and yearning
for the comforts of the twilight
and those bridges left behind
brightly burning in the dark

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)
