Aten In Twilight

Techno can be technically easier than other genres - it is more regular, easier to mix, fairly forgiving in the micro. I think it's one of the harder genres to work with from a storytelling perspective - it's harder to avoid monotony, and despite the intensity, easy to become boring and predictable. I took some time away from techno because I got into a rut where the music I was playing was anxious and dark and suffused with the bad sort of urgency. Recently a few tracks (particularly by Eli Brown) have been so incredibly fun and filled with life that it got me back on the bus. I hope you have fun with this, I had a blast.

Recorded somewhere deep in the Mojave.

Kepi Live @ Moontribe March 2016

A couple of years ago, I played at an event in Flagstaff called Innerspace. This installment of the event was called InnerDimensions. I really like the Innerspace theme, and it caused me to think deeply about individuality, interrelation, solitude, introspection, and presence. I assembled a batch of music for crafting a heady and introverted journey into the self, a return to source. It was a very memorable event, with a dancing crowd and a great vibe, and we all had fun – but I also encountered some nifty technical difficulties, which disrupted my flow, limited the tracks that I could play, and diminished what I had *really* meant to do - which later got me thinking even more…

There are many substantial interactions and opportunities in life that one must get right the first time, and not so many that can be corrected and crafted over time. What can be accomplished when practice can be made perfect? What if there were as much space and time and understanding as needed to say the right thing at the right time, with a clear message of truth and integrity? What if there were the opportunity to get things right a second or third time? What if more people took the time to learn and understand themselves and others, and saw eye to eye? What could people heal and communicate and accomplish with maximal self-awareness? What if I just remade the Innerspace set with all the music I had wanted to play, and made it into something much more?

This recording is for thinkers, doers, and dreamers. It is for answering one’s own questions and solving one’s own problems. It is for those who value substance over status, actively listen, and don’t look gifts from the heart in the mouth. It is for those who like to go deep within, and hang out there. It is for innovators, collaborators, fine-tuners, forward thinkers, unsung heroes, and lifelong friends.  It is for those who revel in well-crafted music, and well-crafted life. It is for adventurous road trips and dancing around in your living room. It is still flawed, still human - but still precise and specific. It is more as it was meant to be the first time.

Every one of us is an individual, and a continual work in progress. One must know and experience oneself to grow and achieve, with mind in the big picture, eyes on the past, present, and future, and heart in the right place. One has to look deep inside of things to know their true value, and then great gratitude comes.

I've been on a substantial inward journey for a few years now. I recommend it. Massive thanks and love to all friends and family, for being there with and for me over all these years.
