In Ankit's words:

"Liminal Rift emerged at a moment when I needed to break through musically, emotionally, and spiritually. The Lions Gate Portal in 2024 provided that initial jolt, not in a cosmic woo-woo way, but as a symbolic reminder: there are moments when the universe feels cracked open. I used that as the spark.

The first track, 'Lions Gate Portal', is assertive and angular. It mirrors the feeling of standing at a cosmic threshold, your nervous system tuned to celestial rhythm, your breath syncing to the gravitational hum of something larger than yourself. It’s the sonic equivalent of stepping into an unknown space.

Then comes 'Lysergic Effect'. It’s liquid and elastic, like a thought slipping through consciousness. It’s immersive, slippery, and difficult to grasp. Like a rapidly unfolding lucid dream. It reflects my fascination with perception, altered states, and the architecture of the mind.

Together, the tracks form a sonic diptych. An outward expansion followed by deep inner fragmentation.

Liminal Rift is about the in-between spaces. It’s where the most profound shifts happen, and sound becomes a vessel for transformation.

The EP isn’t just something to listen to; it’s something to traverse."
