Hi folks 🐧

So a new song is out there!
While I'm still waiting for a new guitar that I ordered a long time ago, I thought to spent my time learning new synths... (I'm still a n00b in that field).

I first planned to make a song using the übercool LMMS only, but quickly switched to Reaper DAW (what else...) running on Linux.
I had a computer crash, tech and other problems and finally I didn't create the kind of song as I planned (as usual).
Near the end I couldn't resist to add a line with my old guitar, the urge was too big.
I hope you like the different parts of it. Find the whole song via your fav streaming platform & feel free to share it and add it to your playlist!

FYI, this time I used the free open source, cross-platform Odin2 synth from The Wave Warden and of course Hive from U-He (that goes without saying...)
Guitar FX are also fully open source with Mod Duo from Mod Devices

Song inspired by my ride :-)

The master of the previous version was a bit quite so I enhance it by raising it's normalization & loudness to match soundcloud stream standards.

Don’t Tell Me,   
Music and Poem by Jennifer L. Jones

Don’t tell me you love me, or tell me I’m yours, 
Don’t tell me to be there, I can’t do any more.
Don't tell me you're sorry, or tell me you'll change,
And tell me you need me, and just walk away, 
Don't tell me what I feel, or tell me you're scared,
Just tell me the truth, if you even dare.
You were my knight, and I was Gueneviere.
What happened to us is all said and done.
A new chapter of life has now begun.

Don't Tell Me

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

(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

I'm clearly a bit obsessed with G Orwell's 1984! In the book, the UK is called Airstrip One. Also, in real life, the US military sees the UK as their very own giant, unsinkable aircraft carrier!
