I love the orchestral music especially the Obo and flute. The affectation to your voice, causes me to think of a twilight zone narration . That sort if dichotomy is my favorite.😊

L'uomo che cammina (di notte)

Composing skills depend on your ingenuity. The solution to the melody making that I had been worried about was divided into small pieces and distributed in the song. I also fell in love with the huge sound bass I hated. 
　This is the first time I've made a powerful track.
Those who have listening ears as usual may find that they lack mastering skills.

Breaking through the limits: balancing power and ambient (219)

Note: Kirk and I met connected by opposing views on how the soundcloud messaging system should be used. Pretty soon, an intense and interesting dialogue emerged that eventually led to his wonderful, very cinematic rendition of the trilobite quandary. Thank you, Kirk, for the frank exchange - it is worth this outcome a million times - and maybe further cooperations in the future. Please listen to his versatile work here: https://soundcloud.com/kirk-evans-604267716


Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

following the nutritional trail
a trilobite moves from a place
like that to a place like this

agile senses in a chitin shell
alarm in a world made of hunger
muscles react: volvation

when is it safe to stretch out again?
how long do you remain in stasis?
what is duration in trilobite terms?

you need to show strength, to feed,
to moult, to live your trilobite
lifestyle in cambrian waters

when does that urge undo precaution?
a theory of mind for trilobites
does not exist: we are not aware

of their mental cues, their inner states -
do they deliberate or just change shape
as some behavioural timer runs down?

in ancient seas, in its own time
a trilobite moves from a state
like that to a state like this

Trilobite Quandary

Trilobite Quandary - Kirks Version

In The Park W/ Morten Jeamland

From an early age I was fascinated by the music that always played through my childhood home.
My father was a musician my brother is still a touring and recording artist . So music was just an important way of life.
Technology as changed so much it’s ridiculous what we can do now compared to back then. It still blows my mind especially when you have grown with it and fully understand the difference.
Unlike my kids who just think I’m a dinosaur but yet still listen to my music influences. 
The first single I ever bought was Ever  Fallen In Love by The Buzzcocks and the B-side was Just Lust . If you comment let me know your first single. 
 I always played the Bsides as much as the Asides and would make an album up on a TDK 90 dedicated to them.
Memory’s of looking out of the window with my Sony Walkman listening to the cassette. Passing time to get to our holiday destination. 
This song is a tribute to the vinyl Bsides that influenced me along the way . With a summer feel to catch what’s left of it.  🌞


To The B -Sides ( lyrics )

My Blue 7inch stacking portable record player 
I could flip the hits for a Bside multi layer 
Its all the rage and its so strange 
How technology as really changed 


Chorus 

That ever to happened to the B-sides
I was listening travelin to the seaside 
That ever happened to the B-sides
Recorded On a TDK 
Ready for my holiday 
What ever happened to the B-sides x2

I was the Ultimate bedroom rockstar
If I could bottle it up in The Jam jar 
All this was is just  dreams of children 
But I would  always love to flip to 
The b-side of the hit 

Chorus 

Into finishing on 

Flip the hit x4

To The B-Sides ~ Conscience Of Kings

Yesterday we lost the world's finest jazz and blues Hammond organ player of all time, Joey DeFrancesco.  Joey simply was a legend , a jazz monster and responsible for the resurgence of the classic Hammond sound in so many settings.  Not only did Joey play the organ better than anyone else did or ever had, but he also was a very fine trumpet and tenor sax player - and no one plays both the trumpet and tenor sax in jazz.  But Joey could, did, sang, created 30 albums under his own name, and brought that soulful sound with simply amazing technical and creative abilities.  Difficult to explain the impact that Joey D had on my music, but it just didn't get any better listening to his playing - was fortunate to have seen him several times, including just a few years ago at the Blue Note.  So I'm reposting this blues I recorded about 5 years ago over a teaching backing track that he released.  All the wonderful comping and trio is his work - I just have the lead on this.  RIP Joey.  Damn

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)
