about

Looking out the window of my studio, I often notice a robotic lawn mower working on a small patch of grass nestled between two houses across the street. This spot appears ownerless, yet someone has placed the mower there. To me, it exudes a sense of solitude as it diligently performs its task. It's a highly efficient machine, perfectly competent yet easily replaceable. However, I believe there's a certain strength in its solitude. Inspired by this, I've tailored my electronic machine techno music as a tribute to this solitary figure in the yard. I'm not sure if the mower can perceive my music, but I like to think that each of its mowing rounds is a new dance. The album, comprising twelve tracks, represents a collection of my past year's work (except Track 7 and 11). It may not be the most cohesive album, but it's genuine and heartfelt.
