method: plain reading, no frills, even breathing is still audible
narration: it's spring. the title refers to an aesthetic category introduced by alexander gottlieb baumgarten (1714-1762). the 'expatriate poet' referred to is peter russell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Russell_(poet) and also https://www.emt.it/riviste/marginalia/Marginalia17.pdf (1994) .... the 'first child' was of course mine, not pr's. any autobiographical relations, though, are purely incidental .... poetry is a category of fiction after all.

poem / copyright jo richter:

in the harsh light of a spring noon
the darling buds of leaves turn vibrant
early flowers rejoice in voluptuous infamy

he looks at the sketch of a tea mug
resplendent with exterior colour, then
realizes the real mug in front of the empty canvas

all the houses around him sport antennas
dishes, connecting them to the unseen
unheard, intangible levity of the pertinent ether

once, he spent a fortnight in tuscany
met an expatriate poet who lived in a mill
writing on in the tradition of ezra pound

his first child still had to be carried, then
bulging in front of his chest, strapped tightly
with a length of blue cloth, iridescent

he takes in all of this transient splendour
as a plane's tremor rips open his awareness membrane
reminding him of the first lines of eliot's waste land

Dawn
An Original ‘N’otion Picture Soundtrack by Keith Richie
Inspired by the novel Dawn by Octavia E. Butler

Dawn is a sweeping cinematic score based on the first book of the Lilith’s Brood trilogy by the legendary Octavia E. Butler. This album serves as my musical interpretation of her profound and haunting tale—one of loss, survival, and evolution.

The story follows Lilith Iyapo, who once lived peacefully with her family in the Andes Mountains—until a devastating nuclear war obliterated humanity. Centuries later, Lilith awakens aboard a mysterious alien vessel, under the watch of the Oankali—an advanced species driven by an instinct to heal and evolve through genetic merging. As the last remnants of humanity are studied and prepared for a second chance at life, not all agree with the terms of this new beginning.

With themes of love, sadness, hope, and conflict, the music in Dawn is meant to transport the listener—whether or not they’re familiar with the book. You’ll feel the quiet sorrow of a ruined Earth… the awe and unease of first contact… the strange, electric connection between Lilith and the Oankali being Nikanj… and the tension of a species on the brink of transformation.

This album is a journey through emotional and otherworldly landscapes, where humanity’s survival depends not on strength, but on change.

Dawn is a tribute to one of science fiction’s most powerful stories, and I’m honored to present it in musical form.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
