Description:
Conversation With The Self is a 16-track experimental rap and sound-art album paired with a digital collage that stages an inner dialogue as a spiritual, political, and psychological journey. The music weaves together rap, spoken word, sampled voices (including Alan Watts), instrumental interludes, and collage-like beats to create a ritual of self-examination. Across three arcs—cosmic detachment to contamination, armor to vulnerability, crucible to aftermath—the project traces oscillations of defiance, confession, alienation, transcendence, and honesty. The digital collage album cover embodies this tension: the artist’s own face appears beneath a barred cap, behind which an Eastern divinity peeks through; above hovers a crucifixion figure with golden halo, set against sacred geometry. Together, image and sound articulate the self as layered, porous, and contested—simultaneously cosmic, wounded, divine, and caged.
Core Question:
What truths emerge when the self turns inward and refuses to look away?
