Crossing time-zones
Godforsaken deserts
Midnight in transit stations
The illusion of freedom
Written in blood written in stone

It's just an idea
It's just an idea

The twisted wreck
Of a helicopter gunship
A distant call to prayer
Sweet liquorice and bitter cigarettes

It's just an idea [...]

He carries her in his heart
She's all he had now all he has
White knuckles holding fast
His mother's photograph in a young man’s hands

Now everything is lost
Now everything is lost

They say half the future’s buried in the past
But the fallen will not weep for us
When it’s our time to choose

It's just an idea [...]

Sweet Licorice And Bitter Cigarettes (with Wheelwright)(Fictive Sisters)

Led Line 2522

Some of the lyrics in this songs have been used in other songs. specifically the "Overstated Verse" was first used in the "Double shot of Cuervo" and the "i had to dig a hole" verse has been used in a Furico music team collaboration that is still l in production. I liked how they fit in this song!

Tiny Tyrants
A chip a chirp and then the Strike.
Inexplicable in origin or in fact.
a distant memory unknown and yet familiar
as a house-hold pet.
Which brings up the fact that I outlived ten dogs and cats
and grieved so hard their Tragic Passing.

Quiet isolation, So delicious
causes course derision and division 
among the Tiny Tyrants
A waste of time of which i have not enough of.
Malice pushes through and stabs me in my heart.
and leaves behind another broken part
that always mends a little crooked.

I had to dig a hole so deep that i Fell in
and i never managed to get out again
This life is just a state of mind
and there's no need to be Unkind
mistakes are made from time to time 
and who's to say they were mistakes at all.
Someone's gotta make the call.
Someone's gotta take the Fall.

overrated understated slightly dated speculations
on the origins related to complicit complications
of intention and the nature of invention 
in the manufacture of Reality.

Tiny Tyrants.....Artwork by Kris F

Tea plantations on the planet Athoek, the location of some intrigue in Ann Leckie's book, Ancillary Sword.
I took inspiration from the early work of Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou (Vangelis)RIP. I loved how he combined traditional Greek instruments with electronics on "Earth".  "Heaven and Hell"  remains a personal favourite.

DRUMAX PROJECT

Drumax No. 4 // AFROFUNK

Taking five, waiting for the time to arrive, searching for the will to survive, on the drive of your lives
Taking four, chilling for another cold war, dreaming of the broken dance floor, falling through another trap door, hoping for more
Taking three, dominoes are falling over me, imprisoned in the land of the free, submerged in a fake reality
Taking two, power trippers calling after you, looking for another breakthrough, rejoicing at the callous menu, it’s true
Taking one, mad dogs running for the sun, fat cats have only just begun, creaming cream, having fun

Counting Down

The last Sunrise. With The threat of Nuclear War more probable than ever before I put together soundtrack for the last Sunrise. As the earth is destroyed a billion soles cry out as the planets is blown into particles flying around in space.And on that happy note I'm off to overindulge in chocolate cake.

The Last Sunrise

Method: A Vintage Lemon Drop guitar and voice through roland vt4, catalinbread many worlds and catalinbread cloak into zoom r20. 
Narration: People get older, the ones I care for not excluded.
Artwork by myself, as usual.

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

frail, so frail
light hits like hail
wading through water
made of air

pain, all in pain
TV says you're sane
mute actors share
a voice with your mother

lost, all lost
covered by frost
each single day
like the other

frail

Melomania

Worms

Lyrics:
I have always known,
You would end up alone.
You don't remember me at all.
I have walked this floor,
I have been here before.
You don't recall I picked you out.
Memory has faded again.
I have watched from above,
As you choked out love.
You have thought yourself so smart.
Now you have a callused heart.
I have broken your fall.
You have built up a wall.
Taking shelter from the storm.
I have tried to forewarn.
There were times I found,
You had nearly drown.
You don't recall I picked you out.
Memory has faded again no doubt.

In January this year, we lost the great musician and drummer of YMO, Yukihiro Takahashi. As if following him, last month, Ryuichi Sakamoto also passed away. Having lost two respected musicians, I find myself without emotional support and have been creating music daily, tracing their music and lives. Unconsciously, the songs I create are heavily influenced by their music. This song is one of them. When I listen to the finished piece, I feel it somewhat resembles YMO's "Expecting Rivers." These days, I find "HOPE" in the Milky Way, the heavenly river that spans the sky.

Rivers of Aspiration

I'm an Artist and Musician. I love experimenting, collaborating and pulling from a vast array of influences. Thanks for listening!
