Enjoyed so much, original and exciting, never know what's next...

this one has a focused purpose....well done executing the intricate contrapuntal tapestry of sound-:) also- great mix!

Tutmonda's Findings| Mixtape 6

Marco Lucchi, based in Modena, Italy, and Henrik Meierkord, based in Stockholm, Sweden, have a lengthy collaboration to their reciprocal credit, and they accomplish it far and near alike. A testament to the interplay of their work together is that a listener might be hard-pressed to discern which of their recordings are the result of long-distance file-trading, and which occurred when the two managed to be in the same place at the same time.

Several aspects of their respective music-making serve them well as creative partners. First of all, both tend toward the ambient, given as they are generally to a slow pace and to a sensibility that manages to be at once radiant and intimate. Secondly, while both are multi-instrumentalists, there is a complementary nature to their specialties, Lucchi being more of a keyboardist, Meierkord more of a string player. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, they are both immersed in techniques drawn from electronic music.

In particular, both men are experienced with live multitrack recording, in which they process and layer their own performances in real time. Meierkord is fond of layering sinuous tones to create scenarios of unique dimensions. It becomes uncertain — even unimportant — to the listener what preceded what, so intricate is his deployment of interplay. Lucchi likewise finds parallels between classical orchestration and the opportunity for drones lent by modern synthesizers; in a small room he can create a vast space. There is often an oceanic depth to such efforts, part composed and part improvisatory, in which playing is a tool toward composition, rather than the other way around.

Throughout their new record, there is an underlying melancholy, a nostalgic beauty, and a reflective consideration — a virtue that is foundational to their ongoing collaboration. The result is particularly rich in plaintive scene setting, as on the glacially paced “La bestia umana,” which emerges from a neighborly field recording of a dog barking, and “Kosmisk Strålning II,” which maintains a dream-like quietude, more shadow than light. One “Like tears in rain”, what sounds like a synthesizer is, in fact, a piano, a recording of which has been stretched beyond the point of it being readily identifiable.

On first listen, their leaning toward unimpeachable steadiness can seem uniform, but listen more closely and you’ll recognize how explicitly they emote on a track like “The Third Stage,” due not just to the reaching melodic surges (which, in turn, match the sampled recordings of bird calls) but to the slight discordances that suggest trouble and tension. In a different manner, there is “A warm and golden October,” which balances breaking-dawn hush with piercing overtones. That track features a motif at the end, played on a celesta; those bell-like tones edge the piece out of dreaminess without entirely breaking the spell.

The greatest outlier — dog barking notwithstanding — may be on “Oändlig,” not just for its fierce pulse, but because of its more immediately electronic vibe. “Oändlig” is an exceptional piece, bringing to mind the minimalism of Terry Riley and the rave classics of Underworld.

Lieder Ohne Worte

A Warm And Golden October

We invite you to hear the 2nd of three album preview pieces.

“Practical guide to shamanism for young people”,
Is from the album “Above a Darkness of Earth.”

Paulo Chagas initiated this trio piece with his wind instrument part. Henry Koek added many sound textures in addition to his voice, I finished with percussion and my MaaTeeSaa1 sounds.

This piece continues the shamanist inspired tone of the album.

There is a another, more accessible version of this poem waiting for you because Dan Lockhart has composed a version of the poem that fits his accomplished and well-acclaimed style, called WHO FED THEM.

THE WORD FOR HUMAN IS HUMAN / copyright jo richter:

tiny soldiers fight battles in sandcastle boxes
adorned with merchandise stickers and stuff
while the snakes all rythmically rattle their rattles
as each drop in the lead pipes sizzles with toxins
and prosperity preachers sleep and dream rough

red-shifted galaxies slip by within bubbles ablaze
as the sun spot jacuzzi breeds tadpoles of light
watch planets breathe plasma in a self-centering sigh
unfastening fixings and fillings in mental space
there is no-one seeing but personified sight

there's a physics-sized gap in time's memory
opened by tricks played on Schroedinger's mind
provoked by some impulse to doze off and nap
and to sleepily call off the rabied hounds of rigidity
and just be gracious and gentle and kind

the word for human is human

Hideri (dry spell)

日照り
日傘を差し
ぬるい風をよける
砂がとんで靴がよごれる
蜥蜴の背かわいている
草の葉もしおれている
雨はいつ？

日照り
塩を舐める
日差しは唸る
溶ける時計
旗は重く垂れて
蜂に追われ
檳榔子の銃弾で撃つ

日照り
虎が溶ける
石に絡まる

日照り
影は黒い橄欖の枝
笛が鳴る噴きこぼれる
竈の焚口から火の舌


The dry spell continues.
Sand blows in the wind, dirtying my shoes.
The dry back of a lizard.
Withered blades of grass.
When will it rain?
The dry spell continues. 
I lick salt.
The sun howls.
A clock melts.
A flag hangs heavy.
Bees are chasing me.
I shoot them with betel nut bullets.
The dry spell continues. 
A tiger melts and flows over large stones.
The dry spell continues.
Dark shadows of branches of a Canarium album.
A flute sounds. The world boilds. 
Tongues of fire poke out from a stove.
