New noise! I felt like I was getting so serious, both in theme and in sound, then I ended up making some noise that has a much more fun feel. It still springs from the mysticism that has driven the last few things I’ve done under the name luxeed, but takes a very different form. This is seeing existence all at once, not seeing undifferentiated no-thing-ness.
This is noise, but the opposite of harsh noise
I was angry. I was rageful. I wanted to scream and yell and destroy. I took than anger and channeled it into this.

Amma Syncletica said, “There are many who live in the mountains and behave as if they were in the town; they are wasting their time. It is possible to be a solitary in one’s mind while living in a crowd; and it is possible for those who are solitaries to live in the crowd of their own thoughts.”
