I, think much more today
About it is I stand to lose
More than what I could gain
When I kneel down to pray
About what it is that I must to choose
To keep the pain at bay

Open my mouth to say
About what seems the most confused
When it could be so plain
I think much more today
About what I stand to lose

What I stand to lose

When I kneel down to pray
About what it is I stand to lose
More than what I can gain
Open my mouth to say
About what it is that I must choose
To keep the pain at bay

I think much more today
About what seems the most confused 
When it could be so plain
And when I find a vein
I know what I stand to lose

What I stand to lose

What I Stand To Lose

I’ve always dreamed of recording a synthwave track, but I’ve never been able to create that atmosphere, the right drum section, the characteristic bass line, and the vibe that this wonderful genre of music is known for. Now, I can finally present my first work in this genre. It’s not complicated, but for the first time, I guess it’s successful. Enjoy listening! Best Regards!

SYNTH VISION

Aporia is an ongoing Internet collab project based around the piano/bass duo 'KIrby/Ward'. Occasionally we capture something at rehearsal that we send to dummer Dane Renshaw (Japan) and guitarist Bruce Musser (U.S.A) to add their respective talents too. Its usually pretty spacious and dreamy : ) This time however the piece we sent out was really busy and instead of trying to pare it back we thought fuck it lets go full hog and make it super busy. So we asked Guitarist Axel Weiß (Germany)and Saxophonist Phil Bywater (Australia) to join the party. So The sextet was born. Of note is that none of the players heard any other parts of the work other than the original Piano/Bass recording, and in the  case of the Saxophones poor Phil didn't hear anything at all! I just used some work he had sent me. So all those nuanced interactions are complete sonic chance. as always Aporia may or may not record more music

Aporia #3 (Sextet)

My version of an old style murder spree song.
From the album "Röckers" (2024)

Lyrics:
Blowing in
With the desert wind
A 24-hour convenience store
A 24-hour convenience store
With a ding as you open the door
C'mon , get on the floor
You Cashier! Get your hands up
I hear the ice falling in the cup
By the soda machine
Cashier! Unlock that safe
If you know what I mean
24-hour convenience store

When I go outside
I breathe in
That hot desert air
Let's all head out the door
Let's breathe it in
That hot desert air
Hot desert air
You can burn anything out there
Cause they don't care

" I hear static in my head,"
I said
With a chemically inbalanced murmur
I kill with an evangelistic fervor
I put those bodies in the dumpster
I'm gonna breathe in that hot desert air
You can burn anything out there
Because they don't care
Hot desert air
You can burn anything out there
Hot desert air...

24 Hour Convenience Store

method: most of the pre-takes done with a reface dx and oyayo toy drums, later stretches in audacity, voice in balabolka and rearrangement and editing in samplitude (also adding bubbling bass voice, clicks and further elements)
Narration: it is the evening of the day …. the serenity of the song by the Stones, coupled with recollectioms of events, i.e. exploring tensions, delayed dis- and resonances and so on and so forth

A Thing Of Beauty Is A Joy Forever

noxpox - geddon

Roope Aalto teams up with Daniel once again for a fascinating experimental hip hop mixtape.

The Finnish rapper/musician delivers sharp social commentary amongst surreal images from a multitude of origins in a Quasimoto-inspired high-pitched voice. Daniel's production pushes the record towards "outsider" territory, using a jazz sample-based style collaging disparate elements. The sound is raw and dirty, with tons of distortion for Roope to spit electrics over.

As part of the 20th anniversary of the Kirchhoff institute for Physics (KIP) we put some analog, digital and semianalog stuff together. This is a short snippet of an 4h long jam session.

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)
