Many Thanks Jo--Great and wonderful production work on this and let us not forget the jaw harp and time stretches and the amazing arraingment

Hey Jo man, love what you brought to Jeff's poem here. Love the ethereal synth you drop in, as well as the cool beat at the end, and especially the sitar at the beginning. Lots of magic in here, man. Way to go, both of you!

beautiful fish 🐟 neo a lot more you loving your magnificent experience ❤

Obscure path - La strada dei cattivi pensieri

method: a reface dx was mostly instrumental in creating this, apart from: voice, VT-04, Y8, fx 600, r20 hardware and samplitude software
narration: as unconsciously as uncautiously delving into ruptures in rational reality

poem / copyright jo richter:

schwarzschild linings
fashioned to measure
the lake is too deep
to reveal ancient treasure

quick fixes good
for a lifetime and more
soiled gold and soot
alchemical ore

these are the vigils
held for immortals
widows and virgins
clawed into morals

morbus kant

Recording sessions from 20/03/2024 - 14/04/2024.

202 - 3 - ❤️🕊️🙏

method: it's complicated
narration: just what the poem and the feel of the composition say

poem / copyright jo richter:

down by the willows
unboxing shadows

lacuna lake lago
rotas arepo
* [ahimsa, opera sator]

down by the willows
unboxing shadows

I am what I owe
* [ahimsa]
mind made of velcro

down by the willows
unboxing shadows

* [after  opening, there is always a little dark left inside]

* these sections are not part of the poem as is, but essential to the sonification

Autumn Tears

Are We There Yet

method: a few snippets of unused sounds and creating new ones with vst and morphing
narration:  the words you cuddle up to
image: copyright jo richter

poem / copyright jo richter:

the eagle and the ego
the window and the shadow
the sphinx, another trickster
he ran to kiss and missed her

tentacle vines, all patience
antagonist indulgence
 gear poems and road comments
his absence and her presence

associate with green prompts
at psychedelic customs
mimesis mind, maternal
time sprouts from sunlit kernels
the words you cuddle up to
the eagle and the ego

the eagle and the ego

method: dr 01s; voice; vst (bells'n'chimes); the cover image shows part of the 'ultimate distortion engine' consisting of one exciter module, one piezo pickup (pledging for mono today) and one slate plate (it could be any other more or less sonically transducive material, though, including shaped materials like springs, material with other material spread out on top, etc .... which renders this engine ultimately versatile, incl all the processes feasable during amplification, eqing and gainstaging); white tape pedal;  vst (balalaika): more voices and then some; several eqing instruments (including CS-5 compressor pedal)
narration: 'we' did start the fire, by the way, and keep rekindling it 
title: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilroy_was_here

poem / copyright jo richter:

[hey you - can you smell it as well - must've been here just a moment ago]

nunamnir was here who tied the first knot
enkidu was here before he was tamed
vaidehi was here who was and was not
sharada was here who names and is named

heraclitus was here, a delian diver's lot
helen was here, booty to be blamed
archimedes was here, circles mark the spot
turanna was here ruling unashamed

heimdallr was here, threshold polyglot
boudica was here, rapists will be maimed
the morrigan was here, kin to thrive, foes to rot
mimir was here, as well he claimed 

il duce was here, traitors will be shot
de beauvoir was here, l'autre appears ingrained
ray kurzweil was here, future is a reboot robot
three sisters were here, looked on and remained

was here

in the hills, there are trees
//: wild things, growing on the slopes ://

cold sweat holds fear at bay
and yet a peg is squarely driven into bone and gristle
delusions breed sight
the picture moving like a ghost amongst the boulders
in the hills, there are trees
wild things, thick stems are growing on the slopes
sheltering birds who flutter and preen indifferently
birds singing with ease, picture perfect, perfect pitch 
and they remember all the words in perfect pitch
ease evoking mirth
god‘s infantile pranks
and fortunes of mood
ripple down through the ranks
to the nauseous roots
of behavior filed
with cunning indolence
and insurrections denied
in unbidding silence 
is that what you mean

wild things growing on the slopes

wild things growing on the slopes - with stonerjazz

All Around Me  -!-

as fooling moles

Is it time to make an authentic statement by supporting an artist? I am positive, it is. Now. 
Please consider obtaining 
https://stonerjazz.bandcamp.com/album/quintessential
If you do, you will even get to listen to a collaboration or two with yours truly.


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.
(jo richter)
