Crowned: A Quarantine Mixtape was created on the ship Arka Kinari during a 14-day quarantine at anchor in the bay of Hilo, Hawaii.  Corona was just a local beer when the ship sailed from México bound for Indonesia. The pandemic caught the crew mid-Pacific, the borders quickly slamming shut for all the nations along the planned route: the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Indonesia. The ship diverted north to Hawaii, one of the few landfalls still accepting vessels at sea. Ironically AK is a project to promote resilience to the disasters of climate change, promote energy-autonomy, and bring people together. But disaster came sooner than anybody imagined, plunging us into an anxious purgatory.

We are now ruled by the crown. An invisible germ is our surprising global dictator. Like all royalty it is a parasite, and like all royalty it need to be overthrown. But as we retreated indoors we witnessed nature rebounding, the skies empty of pollution, and oil become near-worthless. This needn’t be an either/or choice, human well-being and the planets well-being aren’t mutually exclusive. Can we manifest a future of internal and external health, making this crisis into a portal? Or are we only capable of backing away from apocalypse when nature moves the battle lines inside our own bodies?

This mix reflects what I’ve heard these last weeks, filtered through the prism of the pandemic. You'll hear a lot from Mexico, the influence of the sea, and the technique of Hawaiian guitar applied to electronic music. It is a slack-key mixtape, with very little beat matching or key mixing. Because the moment calls for rhythm collisions and dissonance.
