"They Call Him Sunlight, They Call Him the Eagle"

Säure Adler was founded back in 2012 in the psychedelic city of Poznań, Poland, by A.J. Kaufmann (voice, acoustic guitar, songwriter) and Kacper Wojaczek (keyboards). The duet played psychedelic folk with poetic lyrics, releasing material independently on bandcamp, performing gigs wherever possible. In 2015 Kacper Wojaczek left, being replaced by Radu Rusanu (keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar). The band switched directions into a more full-on krautrock / psychedelic rock sound continuing releasing new materials on bandcamp. In 2016 Radu Rusanu was replaced by Luna Lenina (bass guitar, drum machines), and the band re-located to London. The new line-up recorded the "Street Dada Brutalismus" album, which is still available on the band's bandcamp site. In 2018 Säure Adler joined the German netlabel Aumega Project, Germany's leading label for krautrock and psychedelic music and atmospheres, releasing among others the "Pilzmusik" album in early 2019. Also in 2019 A.J. tried to get the band back to their roots with various sessions in limited line-ups (duets), and the sessions brought the "acid eagle" back to their hometown of Poznań with new, highly psychoactive sounds. The band is still active, releasing material on bandcamp, and now, thanks to Ramble Records, their debut album titled simply "Säure Adler" appears on vinyl. The eagle logo design is by long-time friend of the band, Mr. Justin Jackley. Currently Mr. Kaufmann and Mrs. Wunderlicht are in the process of organizing new sessions and gigs for their original Kosmische Punkmusik sound visions.

I know you  Pt. II

I know you... (part II) - Morphine

some instruments, including synth and the pulsating synth bed, mix: tea are sea @tea_are_sea
other instruments, narration, mix: sonic structures and silent stretches
method: some back and forth, with stonerjazz and re-evolution café orchestra sometimes listening in and edging on
narration: the thirteen canto poem finds its way into sound, a canto at a time

info: there is one more version of this canto to emerge from other collab partners. LOOK FORWARD!

poem / copyright jo richter

How long he stayed, he could not tell.
He worked ferociously, sounding all
existence that had touched upon him into
being: the smell of meadows, the curl of
ripples, the calm that centers in a storm;
the timbre of voices, the straight lines of buildings,
the aloofness of announcers on the radio.
His desk was cluttered, his mind strove clear.

When he did not write, he‘d read up on
the origins of his ancient art: Vergil and Dante,
Marlow and Shakespeare, Homer and Joyce,
Ovidus, Cervantes, Rabelais and Wieland.
He felt the linguistic seeds, blown from foreign
stems, grow filaments deep in his native soil, he
saw them ripen, flower profusely, yielding
their beauty to ever-changing mentalities.

And as his insight widened and he gained
perspective, the rows of encyclopedias
and dictionaries that lined his shelves
slimmed down, as he gave up consulting
English for French and German, these for
Latin and Greek, those for Persian and Sanskrit,
until he only referred to Indo-European roots.
His desk turned clear, his mind became uncluttered.

Eventually, he also slept and dreamt
whenever the veil sank upon him.
Guarded by the spire‘s safe walls, he would
awaken slowly, remembering outlandish
lore, scribbling notes and poems of bizarre
truthfulness and penning recollections of his
archetypal ties. Some of his realistic verse de-
rived from fragments of prolonged poetic trance.

His muse meanwhile taught him to cook, the
art of mixing individual ingredients to bring about
a taste all of its own that nourishes both mind and
physicality. The painters tend to fixate on surface
and colour, she said, the musicians on timing
the process, whereas the poets never get anything
done, enchanted by words like ‚ginger‘ or ‚yeast‘.
All of their dishes taste awful.

This Track is about a Funeral.
It represents all of the friends and family being gathered in one place. And  how they are all elements of them and their ancestors.
