Hier sind Kooperationen mit Musikern auf Soundcloud zu finden. In den meisten Fällen stammen die Texte von mir, Ausnahmen sind unten beschrieben.
This playlist will be populated with more 'collabs' each time they come about.  It is an overwhelming joy to see my words honoured by sonic renditions produced by these great and wonderful artists. 
In Hawk Caught a Rabbit the magnificent lyrics are by Jeff and I just added little quibs in between. In the Administrational Heart only the first two sections of lyrics are by me. For Équinoxe-moi and Around the Bend, Wivresse and I swapped poems and sonified each other's work. Concatenandus, Small Gifts, Trilobite Quandary and The Passing are open collaborations in which you can still participate. The title for 'the wolf in me ....' was made by Mark from the Re-evolution Café Orchestra,  replacing the poem's original title Aeglaeca. With Amanita Muscaria and Know Ware, I only held roles far in the background of gestation, but Jeff and Terry and everyone else were kind enough to give me a honourable mention. Thank you, brothers and sisters in sound. The complete adventure of the Land of Zed story is out now on Bandcamp: https://thesmokingtrout.bandcamp.com/album/land-of-zed The E-bow Dao is unique in that Jeff's music came first and inspired my words. Later, the same course of composition came about with sun state, earth people, flying. Windover Hill by mono-orbit (former mono-lux) layers the words of my poem of the same name with those of a ballad by Maria Cunningham. Hanno has undergone some additional cleaning and enhancing at Rollo C's (muterial's) place. With the Holy Dumpling, I've only added some percussion. Adam was so generous as to allow me to add to his amazing originals Harmony and My Orders Never Came; the lyrics are all his on these two ...  just like Jeff's on Anthology .... where I had the honour of adding some sound into the mix. Would you go has some collaborators intentionally not named. KooJaa is all Kirk's invention, just rhe words and some of the voice are mine. At the moment, Vermillion Syncretism is taking shaoe in the studio of the Furico Music Team.

“narcoleptic somnambules
consumers of hot summer dates
here’s another post hypnotic trigger
implanted by that giggly jingle
dance the transsomatic landfills
dance the cisapocalyptic skies
dance the tarmac, dance volcanic
dance the lord and dance the flies

narcoleptic somnambules
lost mnemonic virtuals
here’s another transtraumatic flipper
sponsored by your self-parenting guide
dance the cleptotronic chromosphere
dance the micro plastic surge
dance the trolley, dance the alley
dance chromatic, dance your urge

narcoleptic somnambules
purveyors of emoji eyes
here’s another sonoclastic ripper
tearing up with bluetooth kites
dance the thanocultic road code
dance the toxins pressed in shists
dance pollution, dance profusion
dance the hit and dance the missed”

gifts from the ice age
reverberate

entangled in silence
one starts to relate”

Collaboration with "sonic structures and silent stretches"!!

<< Poetry >>
it‘s not like
she doesn‘t understand
what this silence
around her
is for

after all
there‘s this desire
feeding meditaton industries
monetizing inner calm
awareness

each human being
a kettle about to boil over
spill watery, bubbly, glittering marbles
sweet nothings kept for
nobody‘s sake

each mind‘s mouthpiece
a pressure valve, vibrating
under strain not to let off steam
verbosely explode
right nto her face

she still wouldn‘t mind
for this audience of roaring silences
to turn a listening ear
towards her artistic endeavours
every now and then

He is generous enough to allow me to use his track with my poem. Thank you!
Narration: I wrote this poem nearly thirty years ago, embroiled in all the aftermath messiness of a split-up. It was first published in a collection of poetry  bearing a line of this poem in the title that was published under the pen-name 'sonogara' which I had used during that period - three copies sold ;-)

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

Tjost

sie, in seide gehüllt
blüte um blüte um blatt
ihr stolz hat wolken gestillt
die sind nun müde und matt

er, aus höllen empört
von glut im kometenkranz
und plasmaströmen genährt
halb loh, halb zunder, halb glanz

noch tanzen roh die säbel
noch rast ein loser sturm
verschlungen hängen nebel
im windschnitt hinterm turm

i’m bringin’ a ring

stove me in
god dammit it if i have to
slay a dragon

Seraphina

Sometimes the weight of the world feels too heavy, and the only escape is finding comfort in the arms of the one you love. I Want to Lie in Your Arms is a soulful R&B ballad that captures the need to let go of the chaos, forget the stress, and lose yourself in love that revives your soul. The song moves from moments of vulnerability to soaring emotion, driven by heartfelt lyrics that tell a story of longing, devotion, and survival through love. Each line carries the feeling of intimacy and strength, building into powerful choruses that remind us of connection, warmth, and belonging. This track is written to resonate with anyone who has ever needed to be held, to be reminded that they are not alone, and that true love is what brings light through the darkest times. Soulful, uplifting, and deeply human, this song is another chapter in a growing catalog designed to reach across genres and touch the heart. Press play, drift away, and let this song free your soul.

Lyrics
I Want to Lie in Your Arms

From day to day, I’m not sure
Confused, got, to see that rainbow
Need to know that there is a brighter light (yeah)
Gotta find my way through this doom and gloom (oooh …ooooh)

Feelin the stress, the load is getting heavier
Need to know, we are going to make it
Need to wrap myself around you (and hide)
I want to get lost in your love, so I can survive (revive my soul)

I want to lie in your arms, and forget the world
I want to lie in your arms, so you remember
I want to lie in your arms, see your beautiful smile
I want to lie in your arms, remind you we belong
I can feel it, feel it, let’s drift away, free my soul

Lying in your arms now, not, a care in the world
With you beside me, the world is left behind
As long as you are here when I come home
I can go through life, I will always survive (ooooh ….yeah)

I want to lie in your arms, and forget the world
I want to lie in your arms, so you remember
I want to lie in your arms, see your beautiful smile
I want to lie in your arms, remind you we belong
I can feel it, feel it, let’s drift away, free my soul

Knowing you are there when I come home (sweet home)
My mind is free, yeah free to believe
There is nothing we cannot be, my strength is you
With you in my heart, it will always be

As long as you are here when I come home
I can go through life, and I will always survive (ooooh ….yeah)

I Want to Lie in Your Arms

“I Want to Lie in Your Arms” – A Song of Love, Comfort, and Escaping the World Together

It arrived

[Verse 1]
How long you gonna let him hit you?
You keep smiling like it’s all okay
Thick makeup to cover up your pain
He blacked out your left eye
Another thick layer, just to hide another black eye
Is this the man you wanna be with?

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve seen how he grabs your neck
Is this the life you want? Is this the story you want to tell?


[Verse 2]
If you come with me,
I can save you; just let me
I will save you 
Let me take care of you
You don’t need him, you never did
Wake up Girl, don't you know you’re a queen
Let me be your king 

[Pre-Chorus]
Let me make you dinner
Feed you myself
Bath you
Pamper you like a baby
Watch you sleep just to protect you.
Things he can never do

[Chorus]
Call me Captain Save a Ho
Girl, you need this help
I can't watch while he treats you like a punching bag
I "won't" watch while he grabs your neck.
Every day, it’s a new scar
It ends now; I'm stepping in
He doesn’t deserve you

[Verse 3]
I’ve seen that look in his eyes, predator hunting prey
But you call it fierce love, say he loves you
Oh no, he’s a straight-up predator, and you’re his prey
But now, I’m the apex hunter
Hunter becomes the hunted
I’m here to save you

[Verse 4]
He says he “runs a tight ship” nah,
The only thing he runs is his fists on your face
Let me save you
Here I come
Oh, here I come
Coming, to save you
Now let me save you
Take care of you
Love you the way you like
Now let me save you

Let Me Save You

OU POURRAIS-JE ALLER ?

Où pourrais-je aller
Perdu dans ce dédale
Ce décor calciné
De cendres et de métal

Tu es là devant moi
Ton corps est mon armure
Tu comptes sur tes doigts
Le nombre de blessures

Sur mon cœur
Décharné
Je sais je sais je sais

Où pourrais-je aller
Si ce n’est près de toi
Dans la maison dont rêve
L’enfant qui est en toi

Où pourrai-je aller
Si ce n’est près de toi
Lorsque le vent se lève
Et hurle sur les toits

Il nous poussera des ailes
Pour s’envoler plus haut
Voir au-delà du ciel
Si l’amour est plus beau

On ira au firmament
Voir les étoiles s’enlacer
Et fleurir les galaxies
De nos âmes exaltées

(Réf.)
