Richard There - Are we not men?

Silence Train Music Video

2012-02-14T15:38:00.002+01:00

My friends, I´m very happy to show you my first music video. My friend Brian Square has worked on it for a long time and it´s finally ready. Thank´s, Brian, for your really awesome work. Brian did the video just using found footage, he always showed me fragments of the clip but he was always saying that he was still looking for some material. Now that the video is ready I understand the time it took. The video tells a whole story and it´s a story that wasn´t in my mind when I wrote the song. I´m surprised and glad.
Thank´s a lot, my friend!

So here is the video:
(if you like it, please share it with your friends - it´s the only way to spread it)

And here the end of the night with Palace Hotel on Azad´s Kiosk.

(...)I've lived a life so full of sin
Anywhere and anyhow
And every step I've ever made
Doesn't matter much right now

Sweet Jesus now I'm on my knees
Just waiting for thy law
This pain that finally ends right here
Doesn't matter much right now.

He´s not a man / In my dreams

Here started the chaos with Palace Hotel at Azad´s Kiosk. It´s a long video but I couldn´t make it shorter. Please take your time to watch it. There´re two songs here. He´s Not A Man comes from my first album "How many times I´ll have to die?" and the second song In My Dreams comes from the EP "Who touched my bones?"

There´s 3 songs of mine there. (Mechanical Flattery of Lydia Lunch, Raping the Witch which is a rape from Luna´s song Season of the Witch and Rape me a song rape of the Nirvana classic song Rape me).
The album will be released soon.

The second one I made for the new album of my friend Joewl Levis.
The album is already released and can be downloaded on Joewl Levis website.
Here: http://joewl-levis.livejournal.com/6443.html

The third album is the Daniel Johnston Tribute made by Apskaft. There is also a song that I made there, it´s my version of A little Story from Daniel Johnston.

I´ll put the links for the albums here as soon as I get it.

Spielplatz der Bösewichte - Samples of human feelings

2010-05-09T16:57:00.004+02:00

Bio:
It all started at the local supermarket, much like you would have near you. But it is here that Joewl Levis and Richard There would first meet. It was early in the morning so Richard was still in his pyjamas, Joewl was in his ever fashionable King Gee Green full sleeve overalls. Richard was sent to the supermarket by his lady friend to buy her some sanitary napkins. But being “there”now he could not help but browse the isles. Joewl was there to stock up on cotton balls, lighter fluid and cream cheese. It was just a matter of time that these 2 would meet. They first caught a glimpse of each over in the fruit and vegetable section of the supermarket, but it was not until they traveled the first isle in opposite directions that they would really notice each other when they passed each other in the center.A tiny smile was exchanged which grew larger with each isle. It was not until they reached the toys in the 6th isle that they stopped in front of each other and started smiling with there eyes. They both turned and looked at the selection of toys directly beside them and simultaneously yelled, “Fucking Rag Dolls!” They exchanged phone numbers and started to call each other to sing on the phone. With in time they decided that they should record these songs for the general public, as they were so damn good for their public to miss out on. And here has become what is to be known as Spielplatz der Bösewichte. Its what this world has been waiting for. Its what this world needs.

Album Review posted in WTFMusic.org

2010-03-14T01:57:00.001+01:00

Richard There - "Who Touched My Bones?" EP

"There is a bird in the sky,
and he's always singing that I will die."

This opening line sets the tone for the whole EP.
A dark, humorous, abstract, twisted cartoon-like world of despair in an ongoing battle of hope.

The music is a creative take on a singer-songwriter approach similar to Jandek, though Richard There says he has not heard his music before.
Songs are presented in bare stripped-down arrangements usually with the thick-accented vocals heavily in the foreground.

This music comes from a place I have yet to visit.
A place called There. Where birds eat colors.
A place of contorted beings and Shit Men.

Images and more insights on the land of There can be found . . . here:

http://richardthere.blogspot.com/

This might be my own way of perceiving the music but when I listen I can't help but connect it to the fantasy land of There.
The music becomes a soundtrack to my imagination of what happens in this far off land.
They both compliment each other.
It is fantasy music for an imaginative world.
My inner child is provoked as I enter this music.
Questions come to mind as I walk around the land of There.
Answers may be found in the music or they may be left lingering.
I want to know more about this land.
To go deeper.
Richard There's music can help guide me.
Though I can only go so far with this short EP.
I need more, Mr. There.

Book your next trip to There with this wonderful yet somewhat dark recording.
