Who If Not You - Now If Not When

"Oh god no, not another rant..." ehehe. Not really.

i'll leave the rants to the news post. but the phrases "Who, If Not You. Now, If Not When" is an age old philosophy of self-govern and self-improvement for an individual. Sadly it has been co-opted by weirdos like JFK.

Anyway, what I was referring to: Taoism. Unlike most misunderstood, Taoism is not a religion. It's an ancient philosophy of self-help and peace with nature. Yin and yang. You can call it pacifism. But it's more than that. "Tao" means moral, and way. Way of life.

Taoism struck the root of hierarchic beliefs and social orders in ancient time. It was so advanced (I Ching) and thousands of years ahead of its time. Unlike Buddhism, where peace is governed by belief of a deity, Taoism teaches you to govern yourself by your own moral. And here we are you call it atheism nowadays. Like I said, Taoism is much more than all of these. Indeed. Who if not you to take change, and now if not when to do them.

Anyway, I'll leave the rest to my news post. This track was composed based on the philosophy of yin and yang.

Enjoy this hybrid trailer IDM track.

Daoism has not formed a religion , but rather a sacred space !

I've been seeing a few of your songs across multiple genres recently while looking for music to use for my youtube show World Revolution News. This is the latest of favorites I've found and I have to say I'm amazed by the quality of your work across broadly different styles. This song alone has enough variety and length to have a variety of uses as "cinematic" music, and it perfectly emulates modern action movie/trailer music while also staying interesting. Excellent work, and thank you for sharing it with the world along with your thoughts. 5/5

Can't say I feel this as Taoistic music, but it matches title perfectly and is indeed awesome!

thank you for your review!

You've produced sooo much good music lately that it's difficult to keep track! Seriously, it's all professional level, like what you'd expect from a cinematic movie, trailer or game. I am loving it so much. Thank you for sharing all of your creations with us all xD

Also, the philosophy behind this one sure is interesting. I've both read about, and heard about Taoism before. It's probably worth it to take a bit of a deeper look at it too!
Brilliant work ;)
