Included in this volume are some of the strangest yet most profound works I have ever made. “We Are So Fly” consists of a group of sample loops that seemingly do not belong with each other at all. However, magically, the apparently opposing energies of the sounds react with each other, and the result is utterly odd yet undeniably amusing. “Rise Above the Floating World” is a profoundly serious and sincere masterpiece. These works were created in the early summer of 2016. At that time, I was a fervent practitioner of yoga and meditation. As I delved more and more deeply into spiritual practice, I also encountered increasingly challenging internal conflicts while struggling to find my true self-identity and form a cohesive philosophical view of the world with contradictory concepts and ideas. These musical compositions were a manifestation of that critical moment in my spiritual journey.
