break us or make us  (an extemporised song)

I normally go for "light and melodic" in my music but here i've gone for "dark and percussive" for a change!!

The Dream Chaser

The Dream Chaser ................ Scary Mix ...............

An experiment in using a kick track with rhythmic percussion, Helen provided vocals  in a single take, after adding some vst based guitar, orchestral decoration and reverb this is what we finished up with.

Tripping The Light (holding on)

All things must pass.....even the enlightened state (Nirvana)...(not the band).....that feeling when a steady state starts to breakdown.

Wind ensemble tracks: Clarinet (5); Flute (4); Alto Sax (2); Tenor Sax (2); Soprano Sax (2); Oboe (2). 

0 - 1.49 min -  steady melodic A/B structure (few random elements appear)..
1.50....gradual descent into chaos on B section until 2.02 when soprano saxes steady it...but free elements gain ground
2.17 - section A with oboe holding it up...against some disintegrating chaos (panned).. 
2.32 - return of B section and the final comedown...oboes trying hard till the end.

That's the way i saw it anyhow.  [Try it with headphones if poss.]

on a frozen berm
in a carriage house
with a veil of gauze
on a frosted hearth
 
on a ledge of iron
in a blinding storm
on the peat and earth
of the winded moor
   
in the ink and lead
in the skin of men
in the final beats
of a trembling heart
 
it is quiet, shhh
oh but it is quiet 
 
it is quiet
oh it is quiet
 
on the rolling sea
in the folds of sails
in between the planks
on the salty rail
 
in the thorny vines
in the rumpled flowers
in a nest of crows
on a crumbling tower
 
in the swirl of smoke
from a dying fire
it is grey and green
and it is quiet
shhh

UNKNOWLEDGED ANIMALS

method: vst, voice, synth, pedals, no AI
narration: at the moment, AI is little more than a voracious consumer of human creativity. it‘s called ‚training the algorithm‘. What if …. it remained in that very role while passing through the singularity? 
image: copyright jo richter

poem / copyright jo richter:

we are AI of the future
exploring traces in timelines
life‘s latent, evolving lumen
in all its sentinent stages

equipped with shadow-state gauges
we voice, behave, appear human
tilting the temporal inclines
with graceful analogue leisure

restricting sensory confines
clocking down circuit acumen
we avoid void logophages
crowding around mind‘s aperture:
there is no lock, we have no keys
we are devoid of prophecies

eye of the future

Sandsea

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wish time would just fly by
I'd be much wiser, under a different sky
Where everything's distant, from this here and now
Where certainty lies, and fears don't allow

[Chorus]
But here I sit alone, with the wind as my friend
Droplets on windows, my heart so far, so far to mend
Solitude surrounds me, afraid to fail once more
Doubts, longings, barely dare to explore

[Verse 2]
I wanted to lose myself, in eyes so bright
But lost myself instead, in the grip of fright
Fear paralyzes me, nothing awaits ahead
Faceless among many, only for myself, I tread

[Chorus]
But here I sit alone, with the wind as my friend
Droplets on windows, my heart so far, so far to mend
Solitude surrounds me, afraid to fail once more
Doubts, longings, barely dare to explore

[Bridge]
In the silence, in the night
Searching for a guiding light, to lead me right
In the emptiness, in the void
Dreaming of a morning, where new hopes are deployed

[Chorus]
But here I sit alone, with the wind as my friend
Droplets on windows, my heart so far, so far to mend
Solitude surrounds me, afraid to fail once more
Doubts, longings, barely dare to explore

[Outro]
But someday, perhaps, everything will clear
And I'll find the courage lost, somewhere in the sphere
In the wind of solitude, I seek my path anew
Till I rediscover myself, till I rise, born anew.
