«There is an old Sanskrit word, lîla, which means play. Richer than our word, it means divine play, the play of creation, destruction, and re-creation, the folding and unfolding of the cosmos. Lîla, free and deep, is both the delight and enjoyment of this moment, and the play of God. It also means love.
Lîla may be the simplest thing there is—spontaneous, childish, disarming. But as we grow and experience the complexities of life, it may also be the most difficult and hard-won achievement imaginable, and its coming to fruition is a kind of homecoming to our true selves.»
— Free Play, by Stephen Nachmanovtich

The root of all tracks are made together with my beloved ukulele named Lîla for the reason mentioned above. Whenever we play music together it's like time stops, and I have the opportunity to play God for a little moment; creating sounds, moving air, making brainwaves followed by emotions.. It's a form of communication beyond words, but the combination of both makes for a complete understanding of both ideas and emotions.

This short EP is about my journey through life, like all of my tracks are. It tells the story of how I moved from home to the great unknown, met Alan Watts and taoism, learnt to appreaciate the beauty in nature while understanding that I, too, am a part of nature. You and I, togheter we are joy. Our unconsciousness makes me sad...

More tracks will come as we get to know each other.

Mindless is still a work in progress, and I will release updates as I compose them. It's an invitation to discover how I work with music. So even though you've heard it once now, it will certainly be a bit different in 3 months.

From waking up in to a strange dream, to being plunged out into the brutal stress of modern reality, to mental and physical breakdowns, to perceving the beauty of nature, to the exploration of our consciousness, to invasions of outer space, to re-building a (micro) society, and to eventually ending up right back where you started?

Via mindful compositing, recording and soundscaping, Mindless takes you through the cycle of life, and all the small, seemingly unimportant situations, habits, and happenings that in all actuality makes up our reality, I question our view on reality as we know it, the meaning of life to put it more "clichely". Can we teach ourselves to perceive reality through a somewhat different lense, the lense of zen buddhism, taoism possibly psychedelics combined? Why, you ask? Because we're as a global society is in pain, and we're refusing to collectively acknowledge that.
