A wonderful bewildering effect, haha, fascinating

A feast for the ears. I'm digging all of the layers and details.

This is a wonderful sound adventure! Well Done!

Love the barely audible whispers & eerie organs in the distance - very atmospheric!

method: recording semitone sequences, layering, morphing with pedals while recording,  layering, panning tiny critters, layering, etc. headphones recommended
narration: shallow waters. seaweed. the powers it forces. the powers that force it. since it is hard to hear through the water's surface,the written-out poem can be found below. seaweed has oh some many overlapping voices ..... like the multivocal waves themselves

poem / copyright jo richter:

what hides within me
remains well-hidden
until it awakes
stirs and elopes

from far without me
adaptive swaying
in flow with the current
tentacle tides

deceptively timid
quite unassuming
tumbler of shadows
living on light

protruding from vastness
ancient sea giants
sediment trances
supporting frail roots

This is a song that JJ came up with on the electric piano and shared with the rest of us. He's done a significant portion of the songwriting for the Eclectic Collective, and always gives us quality songs, to which are easy to add our voices. When he sent it to us, he had a rough bass on there that sounded like Lust for Life. Ken came up with a killer and appropriate beat, which, if you can picture Lust For Life, included a lot of accentuated bass kicks. So, Josh took and went with that, and came up with a funky bass line. Ken and he kicked it back and forth a few times till they linked up. Then JJ added some funky ass organ and trippy retro synth to spice it up.
  Then it was time to send it to the guitarist. Tez laid down some smoking lead solos throughout, with his signature fiery guitar tone and amazing licks. Then Stephen funked it up even more with a fonky-ass wah guitar track. 
  Ken produced and mixed this one for us, and what an excellent job he did, too. This was so much fun to create. We all hope you enjoy listening to our jam as much as we did playing it.

Lyrics:

You’re getting sleepy.  Sleepier than a three toed sloth on qualludes.

Drink the tears of God as his arms wrap around the entire universe.
Caressing the sacrum that connects the main interstellar passageways.
Ones that appear to us to be nothing more than open space.
Crude images, distorted and pixelated, showing nothing more than the celestial bodies which create or reflect light.  All that does not remains unseen.

Fuddie-Duddies and Fugget Nuggets prattle on about useless platitudes and insipit gobbledygook.  Prigs and fussbudgets.  Hobnobbers and Hoo-didlies.  Fachuchies and fachachies.  Geese and fish.

Troglodyte fetuses perfumed in an iodine solution inside the inoculation chamber.
Hypothesized to create a super hominid race capable of dismembering a human arm at the rate of 9000 foot pounds per second per second per second

Deadly infectious virus spreading and suffocating
Disproportionately affecting poorer areas
Lungs
Bleeding

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.
