We are all interconnected beings part of a higher fabric of existence: one unified body of energy, here to experience, explore, and uncover our true nature beyond the limits of the ego and superficial identity. The concept that we are separate from one another may be one of the greatest illusions of all.. and only once this sense of Self dissolves will the illusory veil be lifted, allowing us to transcend our identification with form and experience everything as part of a greater whole, with love as the fluid in which the diverse facets of the Self are floating.

Rather than focusing on harmonic structure, I created this mix from a very intuitive heart space, only now realizing how much it symbolizes a chapter from my internal world. From the light and airy melodies to the moody and activated textures, this soundscape really emulates the transformation I’ve been navigating on an emotional and spiritual level. I feel that this journey truly highlights that rawness within the human experience, revealing the fluctuations in emotions that we all move through— from happiness and peace to grief and sadness, from constriction and uncertainty to freedom and clarity— that innate pull between yin and yang woven into every being.

It's powerful just how deeply music can carry us, and with music having played such a significant role in my life for so long, I feel overwhelmed with emotion to share this part of my story with you, and to launch this special project in collaboration with döb (@dobmusique). Like everything in life, some genres have had their season, but the world of ambient, medicine, and down-tempo have grown roots in my soul and opened a gateway for my heart and mind to expand. Some of you may know me for the playlists I curate, but now I finally have the space to bring these experiences to life here with Glass Garden, a beautiful and unexpected project that was born in the most organic way.

Thank you Vince, and to all the listeners and creators who will participate in this special project.
