The Living Mold

You might think you are not useful.
It doesn´t mean you are not powerful.
You might think you are not beautiful.
It doesn´t mean you are not graceful.
You might think you are not likeable.
It doesn´t mean you are not wonderful.

You´re not the only one
Under the sun
Who thinks that we should live in
Peace and harmony together
With no problems but the weather

Only asking why
Under the sky
Do we have to die
When it could be so beautiful
This is not acceptable

Just because it is unthinkable
doesn´t mean it´s not convincible.
You can try it theoretical
that doesn´t make you are intellectual.
You might think they are unbeatable.
That doesn´t mean it is impossible.

Why did Jesus Christ
Had to die?
He can´t deny
When you´re nailed against the cross
He knew you can´t convince the mob.

A mind stucked on a flying rock.
Prisoners of a living mold.
Is this the goal of biology
that we are trapped in this colony?

This collaborative composition was written in Musescore instead of Finale Notepad (Notepad was used for all of our prior collaborations) 

Interestingly, the choice of composition software can really impact how a piece turns out. In this case, it's much easier to switch meter partway through a composition in Musescore than in Finale Notepad, where it's more or less impossible unless if you ignore the barlines - we took full advantage of easy and intuitive time signature switching in Musescore here!

For this piece, we alternated off writing 20 measures at a time, emailing the piece back and forth until it was finished. As usual, we did not discuss orverbally plan out the piece in any way, instead just building off each other's contributions.

method: deliberatly not taming a wildernis of sound. to understand the words, you may read along here. 
narration: reading the theories of Timothy Morton had been my main consolation at the time of writing. there is an interlinear English version below the original

poem / copyright jo richter
(as published in die odradek variationen):


seit zwölftausend jahren jäten wir unkraut aus
wüten gegen wildwuchs, wandeln wildnis in weide
sind gärtner der erde, den wölfen ein wolf
entfesseln elementare zivilsationsphantasien


trotzen stolz dem trauma der selbstbemächtigung
als endosymbiontische eukaryonten
schaffen uns ein gedeihliches exomilieu
das uns taub, tumb, stumpf, verwirrt, irr und wahnhaft im


straßenlabyrinth nach satellitensignalen
autonom heimwärts bewegt. da ist kein außen
für das wir nicht blind sind, da ist kein innen, das wir
nicht regeln, denn die parole heißt über-leben


und was uns befremdet muss todbringend sein und
nur ein nachhall davon darf uns in dichtungsklang
rühren, als reife eine sehnsucht nach echtharmonie
aus dem einklang unseres weltschaffens hervor

interlinear:
mowing // for 12000 years, we have been weeding / fighting wild growth, turning wildernis into pasture / have been gardeners of the earth, a wolf to all wolves / releasing elementary phantasies of civilization // proudly rising up to the trauma of self-empowerment / as endosymbiotic eucaryonts / creating a hospitable exo-environment / making us walk the maze of streets deafly, mindlessly, bluntly, desorientatedly, madly and delusionally // following satellite signals / taking us home autonomously, there is no outside / we aren‘t blind for, there is no inside, we / aren‘t regulating, for the call to action is sur-vival // and what appears to be alien has to be lethal and / only its faint resonance may touch us in poetry / as though there was a longing for real harmony / growing from the monophonic din of terraforming

I teach in US higher education (in a STEM field) & am a hobbyist composer writing in a few different styles. I recommend headphones. All of my music is released under a Creative Commons Attribution/Noncommercial license.

My bandcamp page is getting out of date again, but some older albums there can be downloaded for free or for a name-your-own price donation.

If anyone wants to try performing any of this stuff on real instruments please send a message and I can provide scores. Not sure how playable some of it is for human musicians though.

Unsolicited messages asking me to listen to your latest song will lead to you being blocked unless if I know you well and we've interacted a lot.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting!
