“Enlightenment is not imagining figures of light but making the darkness conscious.” – Carl Jung
The most beautiful thing about sharing a musical canvas is the insight into a different world of thought. A great collaboration is like having a stimulating conversation, where both parties are always enthralled by what they have to say. In this exchange, Ichion had a track of ambient, glitchy sounds in which he specializes. We used that energy – the swells of glass-textured sound waves, the prickling static – and wrote a melody and lyrics that were appropriate for both the music and song title.
“Theravada” is a devout school of Buddhism drawing its teachings from the earliest record of such knowledge. When first listening to Ichion’s initial track, we couldn’t help but recognize the constant droning of a low frequency. Our guess was that it was Ichion’s intent to reference Buddhist chanting, such as the OM mantra. The first who used this kind of meditation must have been aware of its physiological effects on the body. According to Ajay Anil Gurjar and Siddharth A. Ladhake’s journal on “Time-Frequency Analysis of Chanting Sanskrit Divine Sound “OM” Mantra”, they state that “Mantra is intrinsically related to sound and sound is reverberating in everything in this universe. A Mantra is a sound repeated over and over until it integrates into our consciousness – frees the mind from its constant doing, and elevates us to an altered state of awareness.” In other words, frequency is the catalyst of our world, so how could it not affect our body?

When people collaborate, a beautiful clashing of perspectives creates something beautiful. When two siblings collaborate, I believe it becomes stronger. A chord progression that speaks love. A melody line without an emotional shell. As the inspiration grows, the arrangement grows. My sister and I have been making music together for a large portion of our lives. Over the years we came to grow within each other through the creative process. This song started with just her, me, and the acoustic. I wanted to twist the line between happy and sad. After recording most of the arrangement, I realized the song was truly influenced by the original spirit of the idea caught in the acoustic guitar. It’s amazing how powerful simplicity can be when it’s backed by the encouraging essence of siblinghood. Words come out in a way they wouldn’t otherwise. More ideas are manifested. More ideas are explored. This is a good example.

Pink noises coming from above and all around
The scent of stale chips and old spinach
Don’t know what I’m doing, but I’m keeping my head down
