Project RESIDUE (As the Crow Flies)

The Lantern Fouling the Brittle Air, Listening to the Dog and the Echo

method: first, I created a shaman-monk-version (mostly ‚Gregorian‘ voice and jaw harp) on cassette tape (this is where some of the noise - especially in the first section - derives from) and zoom r20 with a vacuum-tube pre-amp for the voice ….. all of which I then treated like a field recording sample in Samplitude - sculpting it with vst instruments and effects. 
narration: it feels like I have sonified this poem a million times before …. which might be the case because I have lived through it that often - I and others I dearly care for …. but then again … I might have actually done so. it is also part of the cycle SONIC CASCADE published in  A SINGLE LOOP OF FORTUNES. Alternative titles are ‚TWO-PLACE‘ and ‚04s SAMPLE‘. For this publication, I simplify the title to  ‚SAMPLE‘.
Image: copyright jo richter. you see some of the instruments used in the shaman-monk-version, arranged with a bracelet as though displayed in a museum. 

poem / copyright jo richter:

two-place sleeps on the ground
and still doesn‘t know where it is -
all of its strings sound sound
in heaven-hellish bliss -
nothing, it says, goes amiss
that doesn‘t want to be found

BRITISH INVASION
WE REMEMBER DRIVING UP TO THE DIARY BAR
AND HEARING I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND
THAT FIRST TIME - PLAYING ON THE RADIO - IN MY CAR
THE BEATLES SOON COMING TO OUR LAND

I'LL NEVER EVER FORGET THAT DAY
THE TIMES, WELL, THEY WERE SURE A CHANGING'
BRITISH INVASION WAS ON ITS WAY
LIVERPOOL SOUND WAS A WHOLE NEW FORM OF ARRANGIN

(CHORUS)
THE BEATLES WERE SINGING
SOMETHING WE COULD CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND
I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND
OH, I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND
WHILE DYLAN WAS A SINGIN'
THE ANSWER, MY FRIEND
IS BLOWIN' IN THE WIND
YEAH, IT'S BLOWIN' IN THE WIND

WE LOVED ELVIS AND THE BEACH BOYS
CASH - AND EVEN CROSBY, STILL AND NASH
BUT, THEM BOYS AND THEIR NOISE - 
FROM ACROSS THE POND
THEY WERE GAINING GROUND AND MIGHTY FAST

OL' ED GAVE 'EM A BOOST ON HIS TV SHOW
HE BROUGHT EM RIGHT INTO OUR LIVING ROOMS 
DON'T YA' KNOW?
THEY WERE THE TALK OF THE CLASSROOMS, TOO

(BRIDGE)
IT ALL WORKED OUT JUST FINE
AS THE WORLD KEPT SPINNING
ROUND AND ROUND
IN OUR HEART AND SOUL AND MIND
IT WAS JUST THE RIGHT TIME AND THE PERFECT SOUND

(REPEAT CHORUS)

British Invasion (Lyric collab by Tony & Hess - Featuring Hessen Riff) Original with Lyrics

All Country fans like Hank William's music…hope you enjoy this track.				
Original Country Lyrics by Tony Harris 2016				
Vocal and Music Production/Mix by Riff Beach (Hess)				
				
  NO TEARS IN HANK'S BEER				
				
HANK WAS A BIT COCKY				
UNEASY AT THE SAME TIME				
SOMETIMES A BIT SHAKY				
BUT IT WAS HIS YEAR TO SHINE				
				
EIGHTEEN MONTHS ON THE OPRY				
GAVE HIM DRAWING POWER				
HIS SONGS WERE PURE POETRY				
HE WAS THE MAN OF THE HOUR
				
CHORUS				
THE YEAR WAS FIFTY ONE				
HIS BIGGEST YEAR				
BIG CROWDS STOOD IN LINE				
NO TEARS IN HANK'S BEER				
YEA, NO TEARS IN HANK'S BEER				
				
POP STARS WERE COVERING HIS HITS				
HE PLAYED SOME TV SHOWS				
HE SIGNED A MOVIE CONTRACT				
BROKE IT BY BEING A NO SHOW				
				
THE MILES HE TRAVELED 				
INCREASED HIS BACK PAIN				
BUT HE MADE THE BIG TIME				
CAUSE COUNTRY MUSIC WAS IN HIS VEINS				
				
(REPEAT CHORUS)				
				
WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE SO YOUNG				
IN THE BACK OF THAT OLD CADLLAIC

THE UNFORTUNATE SON
                             
BEEN READING JOHN'S NEW BOOK				
SAW IT ON THE BOOK STORE SHELF				
DECIDED TO GIVE IT A LOOK				
JUST A FEW OF THEM WERE LEFT				
BEING A CCR FAN				
WELL I GAVE IT A READ				
I LOVED THAT SIXTIES BAND				
GLAD THAT JOHN TOOK THE LEAD				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD				
FOR A FEW PIECES OF GOLD				
OH THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
OH ,YEA, THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
AFTER THE BAND BROKE UP				
HE DIDN'T PERFORM FOR AWHILE				
MET THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE				
CONVINCED HIM TO NOT GIVE UP				
THEN BEFORE TOO LONG				
HE WAS BACK ON TOP AGAIN				
WITH A STRING OF HITS				
FOREVER A BANSMAN				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD				
FOR A FEW PIECES OF GOLD				
AWESOME GUITARIST				
HE PRACTICED EVERY DAY				
ONE OF THE BEST				
HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
I'M SO GLAD HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
BUT NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
I'M SO GLAD THAT HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD

Remix of vocals and music by Riff Beach December 2018 (c)

WE KNOW MUSCLE SHOALS
THEY HAD THE SWAMPERS
THEY HAD MUSIC IN THEIR SOULS
MAN, THEY WERE KEEPERS

THEY CAME FROM FAR AND NEAR
LOOKING FOR THAT SWEET SOUND
TO UNDERSTAND YOU HAD TO LIVE HERE
THEY WERE BAMA BOUND
CAUSE THEY WERE BAMA BOUND

Chorus
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THEY GO HAND AND HAND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUDDY WATER BRINGS OUT THE BEST
YEA, IT BRINGS OUT THE BEST

THEY EVEN CAME FROM FAR AWAY
TO GRAB THAT SOUND
MAN, THEY SURE HAD SOME FUN
LAYING THEM TRACKS DOWN

IT AIN'T NASHVILLE, HOSS... NEW YORK OR LA. 
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MUD 
ROLLING DOWN THAT RIVER EVERYDAY
MUSIC WAS THEIR ANCHOR

(REPEAT CHORUS )
