鳩落ちるまた鳩落ちるくもりぞら

A dove suddenly fell from the power line.
Another dove fell from the wire.
The sky is cloudy.

くもりぞら（Cloudy Sky）

くもりぞら (Cloudy Sky)

Composed, arranged, performed, and produced by:
Carlos Vivanco
For this composition, I use the Tembung scale (C, Db, F, G, Ab.) is the second main pentatonic mode of the pelog scale and is obtained by treating the third and seventh of the pelog scale as auxiliaries. Tembung has a very similar profile to the Japanese kumo hoshi koto scale. Origen: Indonesia. Used in Gamelan music.

Far Away Reality

Where The Sun Sets

Cousin Silas - The Talking Drum

made for good headphones

method: harp, drumsticks, voice, shoegaze, etc
narration: in my mind, there's been this convoluted, overly-complex story playing out about a diplomat losing a note on a sidewalk and media spinning its content into disrespect and all that .... when all this poem really is about is a reminder to mentally adapt to and cater for the usual range of diversity, I guess.

poem / copyright jo richter:

all those who come here
hold dear what they fear
most in attendance
are in ego-state trance
some of those present
are neurodivergent
while we'd long to see
more of those thriving on empathy

poem (as published in
A Single Loop of Fortunes) /
copyright jo richter: 



sifting through
lingering morsels
of bold statements
once uttered in pride

he came across
a tiny fragment
that rang of meaning:
no one could tell how

it fit in
right in the middle
of a gaping 
lack of reference

snugly it fit
into nowhere 
at all

"This album is the result of a rich week of exploration in the forest,
by the waterfalls, in the mountains.
A week surrounded by my best friends and rich in hikes.
Improvisation and composition at the modular
and at the piano combine for this work."

DIFFERENT TERRAIN

An intimate frontier.  A melody lost on waking.  A memory from childhood.  A hope for forgiveness.  A season ended.  A photograph of a moment you don’t remember.  A treasured object found and lost.  A thought interrupted.  A mirror in an empty room.  The dust of an evening.  An incomplete equation.  A discussion with possibility.  A missing adversary.  My impression from our last meeting.
