Ah, dear listener! I present myself here with my good buddy Gary, rather sheepish and shamefaced at being absent from this church of sonic jewels for the longest time.  I have been a bad listener, I'm afraid.  Bereft of mojo, time and without my little studio. Mea culpa. 

If you've read this far, you already have a whiff of the legendary about you.

So one day, quite recently,  the Phaigester messages me and opens his raincoat to reveal a select library of stellar little ear-nuggets he's been hiding away. What beauties, I tell thee! What beauties!
He lives here and you should visit if you haven't before

Three grabbed me instantly..deep, swirling soundstrata, complex and intriguing in equal measure. 

Perched on my bed, yodelling into the abyss, I attempt to add to his painting.  Teleported into that great,  inkyblack wonderland of transcendent joy again.

Hats off to Gar. Inventive, musical and patient. Thanks for your art and resuscitating me.

3 tracks..8mins plus..big ask. But hey, if you've read this far whilst listening you're halfway through 

Cheers me hearties, catch  you soon
Be good

Peripheral

I can’t see you, I can’t be with you
I can’t hold you or feel your welcome touch
As we slip into the water

I always sense you, I always feel you
Moving with me, our thoughts alike so much
As we slip into the water

When you slipped away on that awful day
You made me promise to live my life my own way
As I walk with you into the water

No more peripheral
It is logical
It is you and me

Tlaslila

I feel
Like I want to ride across the desert
Baking sand, tears of sweat in my eyes
Then climb climb the black mountains
Oh-oh-over we go, sail into the grey blue skies
I feel cold, dark deepness,
Feel fearsome rain,
Then fall
Fall into your arms again

Strange Agent

Strange Agent
You're never gonna find the man
Strange Agent
He'll let you run while you can

Fool you summoned him from beyond
Fool you thought he'd give you what you want
But that ain't the deal
Spinning the wheel
He's found something to steal
There's a soul to pay

Strange Agent, running wild in your head
Strange Agent telling you to talk with the dead
He's taking you by the hand

Silenus, the Greek god of drunkenness and musical creativity, take your pick.

Silenus

made for good headphones

method: harp, drumsticks, voice, shoegaze, etc
narration: in my mind, there's been this convoluted, overly-complex story playing out about a diplomat losing a note on a sidewalk and media spinning its content into disrespect and all that .... when all this poem really is about is a reminder to mentally adapt to and cater for the usual range of diversity, I guess.

poem / copyright jo richter:

all those who come here
hold dear what they fear
most in attendance
are in ego-state trance
some of those present
are neurodivergent
while we'd long to see
more of those thriving on empathy

Lyrics - Ron Todd

"Dust Clouds On The Horizon"

Heading out across the plain   
Eyes can't focus in the driving rain  
Horse is tired underneath my jeans 
Easy life ain't as easy as it seems  

Worked the ranches  rode the rodeo 
Risked it all on one last throw 
But as the time it turns to sand 
Worldly goods here in my hand

Chorus

They say life is special  
They say life is good   
But the cold still gets underneath this hood 
But when the sun comes out  
Feel It burns like fire 
And the prairie dust gets higher and higher 

Old guitar strapped to my back 
Singing songs at the roadside cafe (sang caf)
Like Bronson said along the way 
Might go back  maybe some day 

Chorus

Bridge

Days leaving money lying on a night stand 
Women I’ve known some good  some bad
Some had grace just like a ballerina 
Others they rocked it  rocked it like Tina

Guitar break
 
Dreamt about a tired old man 
He was sitting by a rusty old van  
Watching waves come to the shore
Felt I’d walked this way before

I realised this guy was me 
Songs replaced by senility 
Poured myself a whisky glass 
Glory days they just don't last
 
Chorus

Give it everything you can 
Cos when it's over then it's over  
Whether woman or a man 

And that prairie dust just gets higher and higher
Yeah it just gets higher and higher

Dust Clouds On The Horizon (Cooper/Todd Collaboration)

Old track taken from "Eterociclica" (circa 1999). A description of the suggestions inspired by the molecular structure of the Thiazole molecule.

Electric guitar, real-time loops and electronics.

Tiazolo (1999)

on this version, Josh Guice plays drums and James Abendschan plays bass (but you can't hear that very well).
