quick song made with T Yoshida, mixed by me. https://on.soundcloud.com/ysQf1ESgBmWixSAe6
Queen Elizabeth's speech from the 1940s sampled, song remastered from 2022, retuned to 444hz
right in the feels.. probably the saddest song i:ve made in 2020, straight after a big breakup with my ex, couldnt even record the lyrics to this, but if you like this song then maybe i can finish it with lyrics
one of the first beats when I started music again in June 2024 after a long hiatus (I almost gave up and became a monk), resurrection
I was in transit sitting in my old job waiting for a breakthru from God, waiting on my world to change, lol Rolex on the beat was a thought experiment, from 2023 remastered
with the Lord every day I pray, Lord please don't take away, the Light of your Life that You provide, and to any other ears that can hear Your plea for humanity, You've saved me, and saved we, saved the day, we were locked out but you hold the keys, to eternity, Holy Spirit, Paternity, and You, the Bridegroom, and we, the bride, humble hearted, yea, the soul contrite is what you desire, it's becoming harder to find, so Lord I pray, have mercy on us, Your heavenly name will be glorified from everlasting to everlasting, now and forever more Amen
made with the legendary ETHNOPUNK, he made and played the fujara (a Slovakian wind instrument), we recorded this in my small apartment lol, its the longest project i ever worked on, enjoy!

unfinished beat, was gonna put a vocal on it but its packed as it is, this song is about the journey
i had a weird dream when i was badly addicted to lean and on the verge of death, there was a giant demon with minions crushing people with massive chains and turning them into minions, he was the demon of addiction, he started crushing me with his chain but a bubble protected me, my friend Kohei came and whipped the demon and cracked his white mask, when i woke up i checked my phone and Kohei messaged me a minute before, the same time he saved me in the dream, he helped me get out of my slump, this tune was playing during the dream, unfinished/unmixed
this was probably the lowest ive ever been, addiction and suicidal, thank God for bringing me out of this mess
heartbreak, depression, obsession, regression, cessation of sensation, lead to this creation
unfinished vibey beat, only reason im uploading these is bcause i probably never will finish them
unfinished semi-banger with awesome freestyle shamisen playing by the legendary ETHNOPUNK, safe journey brother
Poet on a mission, an oddysey, the closer we get, the further it seems, the sirens call is tempting me, stay on course through stormy seas, im gonna tell you about my dreams, have no doubt yeah i do believe, already written the oracles sheet, destiny fulfilled yeah i still belieeeve

It's been a while. So much change in recent days, experiences internalized, lessons realized.
I've never surfed before, but I imagine this is what it would feel like...
Big up Joel, my brother back in France! Jamming with you was inspirational, sad to see you leave Kyoto.
All the best, by the Wicked Kid from the West, residing in the East, Peace, 2H
Just moved to Kyoto. New place, new game, new feeling. This is the first of many. Stay tuned... Peace!
