FOUR SEASONS OF BLISSFUL BLISS
A poem for Yeshe by Yeshen, the poet. Love beyond time accompanied by timeless music.
THE YESHEN EXPERIENCE
This track was inspired by the life-changing book by Yamamoto Tsunetomo about The Way Of The Samurai. It is a reflective piece trying to evoke the place, mentality and spirit of myself during that impressionable age and how the book radically changed me.
