long-established electronic music publication Groove Magazin, and Germany’s 15 Questions. The album has also attracted the attention of renowned UK DJ and producer John Digweed, while highly acclaimed European ambient artist Thomas Huttenlocher a.k.a. I Awake commented, “It’s rare to come across an album with such diversity, and for that reason, I highly recommend experiencing it from start to finish.” “Flower Bullet” Album Concept: When Words Bloom (Artist’s Comment) We have a wonderful communication tool called language. Yet, sometimes we hurt each other based solely on our own intentions. In war, bullets kill, but when those bullets are words, they become violence and cause mental pain. However, when communication problems arise, communication is also the key to resolving them. I always think, “How wonderful it would be if bullets were flowers.” The concept for this album was born from that very idea. I created it with the desire to transform the everyday moments of conversation, laughter, and sharing stories with friends and family into flowers.
