LYRA - ZEN



This album as a whole has 2 discs, one yin, and the other yang. both discs reference the i-ching. the name is not zen, but the names of the trigrams that they are named after. Disc one, yin, is tui over ken, which is the tri-gram "lake" over "mountain." the lake half is the light & water ep, and the mountain half takes some tracks from the sundance ep, some from the ascention ep and some original that was supposed to be on the sundance ep but werent finished until later. together, the tracks become a journey from the ocean into the planes, and then through the jungle to a mountain, which is representative of mourning to dusk. the final track is representative of the night and is the end of the journey, where at the top of the mountain, a single lotus flower blooms from pool underneath the stars. the journey is also intended as a metaphor for the search for "enlightenment", symbolized by the lotus flower. the track list is as follows: ::Lake :: 1. light dancing on water 2. translucent dawn part I 3. translucent dawn part II 4. translucent dawn part III 5. sun dancing through rain ::mountain:: 1. cloud burst 2. sundance 3. rippling jungle 4. to the summit of mount kailash 5. lotus blooming to a starry sky/// disc 2 is basically my unreleased alpha trion album, which in it's fullest expression has two older tracks as bonus tracks, inandescent and sleepy wizard. the project was sort of a goa trance project, but then featured some electro-trance styled songs as well. the "fire" side (li) is the goa material: ascention, liquid thorns, alien orbs, and 5 color fudo(inspired by the end of "tenchi muyo in love" [or is it tenchi muyo in love 2?]). the second part is "wind" (sun) and is the electro/trance/lounge section, including: white dove, moon over cairo, and zen lab (inspired by my experiences at zen lab philly) at the end of this disc are the bonus tracks. the album has no title, the title is the two trigrams. lake over water is the 31st chapter of the i-ching and is called "sensing," fire over wind is the 50th chapter of the i-ching and is called "the cauldron."
