Rain

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!

Romance

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

Ocean's Abyss

Dark Ages

Reflections on like, growing old, a little sad, but I think we all share emotions of good and bad times.

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:
