'Seijaku' describes tranquillity in the midst of chaos; a stillness and calm even when the world seems mad.
Seijaku is “active calm”.
It's a state of mind where you're present, aware, and focused.
an energized calm, stillness, solitude.

Silence(S)

Please entre the room
Let's ease in
to hear the blooming
Of our space
Your pace
is displaced
Noiseless
Silences are louder
Bolder
Than You
They will exhume
Some parts of You
These things
You never knew
Presences
That will get You

Adé G.

"inertia is a gentle-yet-restless extended piece for modular synth and no-input mixer, akin to the tosses and turns of fitful sleep. Central to these 27 minutes is a persistent bass drone, throbbing like a shuttle alert system on standby, while an array of more transient textures float across the frame: cyclical crackles and pops, swells of mid-frequency feedback, shimmering high tones. There is a quiet feud between the desire to be still and the desire to move. inertia holds itself in place, resisting the urge to lean into no-input volatility or indulge the modular's boundless explorative possibilities, sinking ever-deeper into a warm, unrippled pool of present tense."
