Insatiable Void - Ancestry noxpox remix

Afro-funk II

The Angel on My Right Shoulder

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‘.

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

Lyrics and chords:
Pat
 Am- F-C-G
Verse 1:
Her name is Theresa but everyone knows her as Pat
Her big sister wanted a little sister
The new baby would be known as Pat
And she would be the best little sister a girl could have

Am Em Bm F#m
Chorus:
So sweet
So cute
So kind
That is Pat indeed

Verse 2:
Alas her parents named her Theresa
But to her sister she was Pat
Her sister called her Pat from day one
Everyone else followed suit and she became known as Pat

Chorus

Bm-G-D-A
Verse 3:
She grew up into a wonderful woman
With six fine children
Each so special 
The best mother, sister, and Aunt one could have

Verse 4:
From California to New Jersey
You moved a because 
From Chicago to Texas
What a life you lived

Gm F#m Gm F#m
Bridge:
Pat
Pat I miss you

I am Dan Lockhart/ProgRockDan.  I am half of the duo Dan X2.  I enjoy making music with my partner Dan Blackard.  I was born in East St. Louis, Illinois.  I was raised in a rural area near Edwardsville, Illinois.
