About Me |
|
| robert mitchell. poet. singer. the eight year old bob mitchell arrived in ny in 1938 and has lived and worked there ever since. “my story” i came to a circle of monolithic stone and dwelt there, in two rooms, all the rest of my days on earth. at times i go to explore but i always return to the space of my own silence, the balm of my own thought. angels visit me. i walk everywhere. (c) r. mitchell 1995 publications: “the end” poems by robert mitchell, 59 pages, publisher: pineapple press, ny city, January 1, 1961 ASIN: B0007EB88M “after the end” poems by robert mitchell (with drawings by patrick geoghegan) publisher: pineapple press, ny city, 1995 “the MaNHaTTaN Linear” an occasional journal, art and poetry magazine, robert mitchell is roving editor and has contributed many poems, two river press, ny city “his (mitchell’s) work is in the idiom of his time but it is rooted in the finest and most disciplined traditions of the english language....he writes with honor, freshness, distinction and clean astonishment... his beautiful book (the end and other poems, 1962), whose stunning lyricism is the child of such passion and literacy, balls and mind, seems a lonely orphan in this arid age of poetry.” - davis grubb author of “the night of the hunter” “mitchell’s poems are angry and outspoken but are firmly rooted in the contemporary. what non-readers would call anarchy and nihilism in his poetry, is nothing more then the vision of the urban apocalypse, and it is a terrifying one... what redeems man in the time of filth and terror is the continuing recognition that “some unfulfilled act lies about us all” and that “we must continue to create our human love.” - the norfolk pilot, norfolk, virginia music and poetry cd-s with robert mitchell (vocals and lyrics): Robert Mitchell and Studio B Desperate is Beauty Because Beauty Dies stranded 016 (2004) Passing of the Wings/For Franz Kline/To the Airport/Dream and Inference/Uneasy and Discontent/When Sense is Blank to Fair a Skin/I Look at a Print/Horizon/My Eyes Are Getting Colder/Grains of Age/Haiku American/The End Yikes! A great new CD! Robert Mitchell, my favorite New York poet and lead singer with Missippi Goddamn (see other records for details) left a couple of recorded readings when he visited Cologne in 2000. Studio B, a new all-star band - Sibyll Kalff, Donald Lessau and Slomo Gerhardts of Horse Cock Kids/Missippi Goddamn/Spunx-fame, former Furthur and outrageous painter Andreas Bausch and guitar wizz Heinrich Vater - textured the vocal tapes with sounds and improvisations. The result is an atmospheric and funky album. Short of playing time, but rich with beauty! Easily ranks among the finest music that STRANDED could possibly offer. Missippi Goddamn Don’t Flow (CD-R) (1999) North Country / Mississippi Puberty / Song 3 / Slow Song / F. Kline / Woodcutter / Last Song Similarly brilliant self-published improvised session recorded in N.Y. in 1999 featuring Sibyll Kalff, Donald Lessau, Don Christensen (of Contortions-fame!) and wonderful Robert Mitchell on vocals. Poetry and free form groove never mixed any better than here! Missippi Goddamn Ding Dong Damn (CD-R) (2000) Kingdom Of Nepal / Ding Dong Damn / Light In Your Eyes / Do Not Go Gentle (Blaze Like Meteors) / Choo Choo Train (From Memphis To Mobile) / A Little Man Who Was Not There / River Second effort of the same project, except for Don X. (aka Don Christensen), who wasn’t available. The only recordings featuring both Andreas Bausch and me (K.K.) on drums. We all had big fun recording this! texts by Kurt Kreikenbom/stranded & other records you’ll find more MP3 files there! more mp 3 files available at soundclick SOUNDCLICK http://www.soundclick.com/Store/byArtist.cfm?bandID=657944 robert mitchell has 100s of yet unpublished poems, apart from all current ones, that he is busy working on. more updated information soon!! about more musical collaborations, musicians/composers who set robert mitchell’s poems to music (for example the contemporary composer jim lathi, n.y. city) more texts/poems - check back later!! mr robert mitchell has no computer, mails will reach him, it might just take a while till he gets back to you. about the music: all our music is 100 % all improvised and first takes ’n’ "instant composing" since more then 20 years! sorry, we never wrote any songs.... |
