Part of a new album I've been uploading, featuring compositions written over the last several months of 2021. If anyone can pinpoint what all of these compositions have in common, musically-speaking, put it in the comments - there was a concept tying everything together but I'm not going to reveal what it was unless if someone figures it out on their own, haha.

Cover art created using NeuralBlender.

This album is going to be called "Prohibited Topics," a tribute to the textbook authors and teachers whose work is being disrupted by right wing efforts to stifle education about racial disparity and structural racism in the US.

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
