SKY BURNS

A neoclassical testament to the value of retreat,
where silence gives birth to the most profound expressions,
contrapuncting the noise of our world.

This is the 2nd movement of my Symphony "Alive!".

Composed in the silence, solitude and fears of the Pandemic Lockdown.

Sigh of Retreat

Are you a hopeless romantic?  I think this piece reflects the feelings of the expectation, hopes and dreams in a budding romance. And, the intense vulnerability of each partner. I read "a hopeless romantic is someone who is idealistic about romantic love and hopes for a fairytale ending".  If you have experienced heartache or a failed marriage, you know this isn't always true.  But the power of love pulls us back in ways unexpected.  Have no regrets, seeking love is worth it!

The Minutes of Night

🎶 For Freddie – A tribute to a legend 🎶

“For Freddie” is my tribute to a legend, inspired by one of his songs and, in a way, his life itself. Created, played, and arranged tonight in a single take, I sought to channel the vibrant spirit, depth, and charisma that Freddie embodied. When we give music to music, something transcendent is born—a cycle of inspiration, resilience, and emotion that only music can truly capture. I hope my listeners feel that shared energy and enjoy this journey with me.

With my new gear, this piece has a richer, fuller quality. For the best experience, listen with a headset or a great sound system to catch every detail. Hope you feel the spark that brought this to life! #ForFreddie #OneTake #NewSetup #Inspired

Regnava nel silenzio

Regnava nel silenzio - Quando rapito in estasi

Inspiration No. 06
Here's another little short tune for your enjoyment.

Inspiration

Inspiration No. 06

method: there is so much static around, so much distortion -  sometimes things are just messed up, sometimes even actively screwed up - until, that is, until you listen with those other ears and remember that you still have a different set of senses beyond the panicking ones
narration: the poem is an older one about becoming an adult, first made public - already many decades after composing it - in  the TINY INCLUSIONS chapter of my collection AUSLEGPAPIER,  2020

poem / copyright jo richter:

on the road, he
found
a deserted smile

poor thing, all
covered
in wanton regret

.

traces of trust
lined
its inside gum

these, he scraped
carefully
off to enjoy in a jar

while the bile, he
handled
with surgical gloves

.


then, he remembered
losing 
it, and shuddered

traces - the aleatoric stimulus meridian response mix

Sunday Afternoon

Killarney tin whistle, shruti box

Apples In The Moonlight

Original compositions played upon various acoustic instruments. 

At the moment, the majority of music I record is original folk tunes. Most of these tunes arise whilst out in natural ecosystems or shortly after visiting a natural ecosystem. The titles often reflect an aspect of the ecosystem I had noticed while the tune came about. Lately this is usually a species of bird.

Tin whistles and flutes appear the most often in my recordings; though mandolin, tenor guitar, lyre harp, jaw harp, dulcitar, and a handful of other instruments show up fairly often as well.

And here's some more music I've made along with my friend Dan Jones:
