I wrote this when I was 12. After ‘Maybe’, I wanted my next song to be more up beat, and fun! The song is about growing up and making my own decisions. I have kept it on my page as this song (and Maybe) was the start of it all!

TIME OFTEN REVEALS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH, YOU JUST HAVE TO FACE YOUR ENEMY TO KNOW WHAT WILL BE THE END

ENEMY MINE

A Memento

headphones that allow for deep bass recommended (you'll feel vibrations all through your physical shape - the way a spider would) 

method: the instrument seen in the picture was made for this song - I wanted to start out with direct vibration via a contact microphone. it is hardly dicernable, however, as it forms the basis for timestrech and shoegaze. two vst instruments (chinese flute, humming choir). voice. 
narration: a second hommage to spiders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anansi , after koyangwuti

anansi / copyright jo richter:

tracheensinne
aufnahmebereit
was schwingt, wird spinne
netzspannenweit

jede bewegung
bebt nach, lyriform
luftdruck, geistdehnung
erregungskonform

kürbishaut spannt sich
kuticular
ums hohlorgan ich
schon weise, noch narr

interlinear translation: anansi // trachea senses / ready to receive / what vibrates becomes spider / as far as the net reaches // every movement / vibrates, lyriform / air pressure, mental expansion / adapting to the action potential // melon skin stretches / cuticular / around the hollow I- organ / already sage, still foolish

This is the last suspense track for the yet unreleased game Anthador.
I always wanted to experiment with an odd meter and this was a good opportunity as it introduces the feeling of uncertainty the piece needed.
Additionally I recorded some subtle sound design elements (rolling hacky sack and fingers wiping a micro fiber cloth) to portray the „creeping menace“.
Though looking pretty creepy the cover art was a fun family project that involved rubbing our hands in dirt and a decent amount of image editing.

Creeping Menace

You don't have to believe me
I'm not pleased I was right
I'm not proud of my life
I just see certain things 
There're lessons I've learned 
Wickedness in high places
I've discerned 
Are you hip to the subliminal
Why believe the words of criminals 
Put faith in this world 
You'll be let down 
It's far worse than you feared 
Yet it's far better too
There's nothing they can do
To stop love
We're in for dark days 
There's nothing they can do
To stop love
We're in for dark days 
There's nothing they can do
With their digital cage
I just see certain things 
Many times I've been burned
The powers of darkness 
Everywhere discerned
Are you hip to the subliminal?
Why believe the words of criminals 
Put faith in this world 
You'll be let down
