Mingle Minded deals with the 5 elements in Japanese Philosophy, in order of  importance Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Sky. And how I relate with these elements and my understanding of them. The idea of the album is to make people aware of their intimate and complex relationship with the earth, so that they will find their connection and purpose.
