i don't know where i'm going, but dynamic, piano and soft-pitched voices, that sounds cool to me eheh

funfact: i discovered that a melody of this track is almost the same as a melody of pokemon diamond and pearl, and pokemon was a inspiration when i created that track

Are you ready to leave on an adventure? 
We still know very little about this place …the day we drifted through the soda breeze and awoke on it’s land. I can hear the sound of something coming, can you? 
So let’s pack up our things and leave the shores, in search of knowledge and new flavours.
It is the night before our departure to the inner lands. Equipment in place...take your cape, compass, map and backpack. A backpack so big to carry our pencils, kites, a wooden spoon, lucky fruits, empty diaries and one cup ramen for a late night. Don’t forget the sound recorder and a couples health potions. 
Fireflies illuminating the path for adventure, we’ll dance and hike through forgotten places, meeting all sorts of different creatures living into the forest and inside the mountains.
We will walk through the ruins of ancient civilisations and learn as much as we can while we hike our way toward the big volcano where we hope to discover the secret of this place -
Senses moving fast…what is going to happen on our trip?

'Ghost Naps' by @the-izzard

One of the most complex and interesting organisms that inhabit the Island are ghosts. As opposed to popular folklore, Sodian’s ghosts do not spawn from deceased living creatures, instead dozens are born each time an earthstar mushroom gets pollinated by glucose rain. These fascinating creatures spend most of their time playing hide and seek in yards and forests undergrowth. Generation after generation their aptitude for hiding improves, single games now last months. For this reason napping is the main activity for anyone involved, waiting for the designated seeker to complete his quest locating the others. When they are not playing hide and seek, ghosts are sleep guardians, they gather around other lifeforms releasing earthberry scented particles in the air affecting the color balance of dreams. During our trip we also notice a different kind of ghost, more pale in color and with a pink halo following, it’s a ghost-ghost: a spectral echo of a regular ghost that can be grabbed from the sonic dimension through a soda ritual (as previously mentioned in Nature Nature and Soda Ritual). Ghost-ghosts aren’t particularly fond of hide and seek as they’re not capable of napping, somewhat contradictory to this they are constantly found yawning. Their behavior is still uncertain and enigmatic to us, further studies are necessary.

Fire Emblem Fates / ファイアーエムブレム if ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK

Resolve (Light/Dark) ~【Fire Emblem Fates OST: Map Themes Mixed】

This was composed as part of a selection of tracks to accompany the signing of the register at my daughter's wedding.

8Dio Adagietto string chords were improvised and then layered to give space then I improvised the Virharmonic Bohemian Violin over the top for the melody.

(That is unless you want to leave a tip for my mountain dew fund!)

This is a track I themed in The Shannara Chronicles, really great music in that series, definitely has influenced some of my recent writing style, so has the show dark matter, great show as well.

"a deep. wistful, nostalgic sense of longing for home; a yearning grief for people and things long gone"

Well there we go, another EP :)! This one is a bit different than the last one, its not lofi, its not rly hiphopbeatthingwhateveryouwannacallit, its more subtle, more ambient and melancholic I guess. It's more of a personal album, as it does showcase some different emotional stages that I have gone through in the last couple of months, it has been a rollercoaster and it still kind of is, but oh well.
In any case, hope you enjoy these tracks. And I hope they appeal to a larger audience, and I especially hope that some people can relate to these tracks, and maybe even find some sort of comfort in at least one of them. PEACEEEEEEE

Tracklist:

01 - ikigai
02 - a moment of silence
03 - petrichor
04 - another perspective
05 - interstellar brownies
06 - phosphenes
07 - sweven
08 - ukiyo
09 - falling asleep at 3:37am 
10 - ilia's dream
