Four sublimely beautiful masterworks from this period. I did not include any other piece in this volume in order to emphasize their unique importance. “Knockin' On Heaven's Door” can be seen as the culmination of the recent development of my musical language at the time. This piece incorporates keyboard improv and distorted vocal improv into the framework of songwriting. The contrast between the bright synth sound and the aggressive dubstep bass sound from the series of improv works in Vol.24 reappears in this piece, while gaining new meanings and emotional depth. “You Are a Legend” is a reinterpretation of “Beautiful Gift” from Vol.5. This version completely transforms the original song with intensely expressive beatmaking and vocal improv. “Summertime” is an emotionally subtle yet profound masterpiece. The simplicity and tranquil aura of the composition conveys a deep sense of sadness and hope.
