Bizarre Bazaar – Nothing 4U

Originally written in 2020 during the pandemic lock-down, this song reflects on nirodha, or the overcoming of suffering by letting go of taṇhā (desire, attachment). This playlist also includes the companion track, Reflections.

The vocal performances for Nothing 4U are from the original demo, recorded rather quickly through an TC Helicon autotune/harmonizer device. I liked the artificial “robotic” sound, so kept it.

Bizarre Bazaar is a collaboration with my friend and former Vibraflux band mate, Mino Fukushima. Vibraflux was a rock group from the mid-90s that recently released a long lost album recorded in 1996-97. Mino is a guitarist and musician with a BA in music from Milligan University and an MA from East Tennessee State University in Jazz Studies.
