Night Letters - A collection of ‘audio interpretations’ of telegrams from the early 1900s. Each track is based on a portion of a real transmitted message.

Historically, telegrams were sent between a network of interconnected telegraph offices. A person visiting a local telegraph office would have their message telegraphed by morse code to another office, translated, and then delivered on a paper form. As with any form of communication, the messages could be routine, melancholy, joyous, or devastating.

The need to keep these messages short, and then reading them many decades later, provides plenty of room for imagination.

(Scans of actual telegrams were viewed at the Internet Archive)

NOTE: SOUNDCLOUD UPLOAD PROCEDURESS ARE BASICALLY BROKEN. DEATH BY CATERING FOR AN INDUSTRY, NOT PEOPLE.


method: taking the sl 2 (and some other pedals) for a ride into lush territories and then  being rigidly minimalist in the initial mixing … the initial mixing, yes …. things evolved a bit on the longish side, though ... I hope the endeavour is worth your while …. there will be carmenta pt2 soon, then employing the (older but less menue-diving) sl 20 pedal

narration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmenta – creating categories on the fringes of the unconscious tends to corrupt perception which is why the number of sibyls (or fates, or muses) varies dramatically over time and cultural stages – even if you do not hear it at first, the full poem is included in this soundscape

image: a fridge magnet (made of fake marble and adorned with a tourist version of the etruscan alphabet) was purchased at the gift shop in the villa giulia in rome which houses the etruscan museum. I went there more than a decade ago and very much enjoyed mostly empty showrooms at year’s end, much to my delight. The electronic gear also shown is a lot more recent and the overall mesh-up-art is just nice as is- long live gimp  ;-) copyright jo richter

poem / copyright jo richter
(actually, the poem is titled ETRURIA. For this album, however, three syllables  are mandated which is why I chose the name of the sibyl referred to, carmenta, who is supposed to have shifted the spelling of the letters to create the etruskan alphabet, later inspiring the „latin“ letters):

aporia
aporia
all new shapes to
praise carmenta

dolphins leap through
arcs made of waves
to welcome the new
lines, strokes and staves

etruria
euphoria
raise your caverna
and praise carmenta

carmenta pt 1

LYRICS ROUGHLY ..  i wandered off lol and didn't use some . 
She's my eastern girl ,
in her eastern world
turning mountains into sand
with a wave of her hand 
my eastern girl ...
she's my eastern dream
makes me see serene 
from sadness to a joy
nothing can destroy
my eastern girl 
my eastern girl ..
.. and when the sunrise comes
   i look her way 
   and when the sun go down 
   i've lost my frown
    when she's around
my eastern girl .. 
(came and changed my world 
darkness into light 
and her light blinds my eyes 
my eastern girl ..
