Love’s Process is divine. When we are present, wide open in the moment, synchronicity between mind, body & spirit becomes an effortless state in which the creative energy of the universe takes over. Guiding our hands & hearts to manifest something unexplainable, unquestionable, and as free and perfect as the flow that birthed it. Not Perfect as defined by our skewed perception of the term, but perfect as defined by the acceptance of flaw as its balancing factor. This union is what the title of this piece symbolizes. All elements of ones being, joining in harmony to create a space of acceptance within us, where God energy is free to transmit into the physical realm. We become the Radical Center.
-Love
“Levels” was created in a small basement studio, below Shafiq Husayn’s home in Los Angeles. Bilal, Shafiq, & I produced the foundation of what would become the song under a certain creative hypnosis. It seemed as if, before our ears, the synthetic sounds and beeps congealed into a single living and pulsating organism. It would then soon sprout wings, carrying under them an all-encompassing message. “Levels” has since taken a life unto its own, bringing in interpretations from Flying Lotus and Sonnymoon; furthering what may be now called the “Levels Experiment”. The remix I provided follows in the tradition of the original song’s spirit: an ambitious exploration of sound, space, and emotion; an aviary craft bursting into the embers of a maiden flight.” -KenBts.
