Fantasiewelt

Ich sitze hier und grinse
zusammen mit John Lennon auf einer Insel
wunderbar, auch noch da ist Kurt Cobain
und vor ein paar Tagen erst, habe ich auch Elvis gesehen

Was, das wollt ihr mir nicht glauben?
Doch, meine Fantasiewelt, die könnt ihr mir nicht rauben
Alles so schön rund, kunterbunt und gesund

Jeder weiß alles, brauchen tun wir nichts
Geliebt wird das was gut ist, kein Gezeter, keine Tricks

Wir können vor dem schlafen gehen Schafe zählen
Müssen uns nicht durch die Tage quälen,
Wenn du Lust hast, dann mach was,
wenn nicht, dann lass das

Ich grinse als bestände die Luft nur aus Lachgas
Ich grinse als bestände die Luft nur aus Lachgas

Keine Armut, kein Streit, keine Kriege
Keine Armut, kein Streit, keine Kriege
Keine Armut, kein Streit, keine Kriege

Ich schließe meine Augen und Fliege
Ich schließe meine Augen und Fliege
Ich schließe meine Augen und Fliege

Fantasy World

I sit here and grin
on an island with John Lennon
wonderful, Kurt Cobain is also there
and just a few days ago, I also saw Elvis

What, you don't want to believe me?
But you can't take my fantasy world away from me
Everything is so beautifully round, colorful and healthy

Everyone knows everything, we don't need to do anything
What is loved is what is good, no complaining, no tricks

We can count sheep before going to sleep
We don't have to torture ourselves through the days,
If you feel like it, do something,
if not, then leave it

I grin as if the air was made of nitrous oxide
I grin as if the air was made of nitrous oxide

No poverty, no strife, no wars
No poverty, no strife, no wars
No poverty, no strife, no wars

I close my eyes and fly
I close my eyes and fly
I close my eyes and fly

This track is dedicated to my grandfather.
He also made music, like organ, accordion, harmonica etc.

Grandfather (II)

method: a digital bitcrusher deserves the most honourable mention
narration: the same old story I heard the phrase "bullying your memories into submission" being repeatedly uttered by a guest on the rachel maddow show 
image: copyright jo richter

poem / copyright jo richter:

being surprised by what feels right
he forgets how to bully his memories
into recreating his singular ivory lie
the way he used to in years gone by
ignoring life's treacherous subtleties
and the refractions of the telling light

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)
