KOAN Sound - Sentient

[@WorldNumber1Gamer]

if i could listen to one song for a lifetime it would be this

[@Hollandvancewright]

Holy shit, it's been 9 years already? This song is still just as beautiful as when it came out

[@CamelliaFlingert]

true

[@ConnorQuinn]

KOAN Sound are the most underated guys ever

[@kneza96BG]

+Zodiax Not really.Just not popular enough.

[@MichaelKeefeMusic]

+CoolPigeon That's sort of what "underrated" means, mate.

[@kneza96BG]

Michael Keefe​ No.Underrated means exactly as the word says.Its about their RATING not popularity and KOAN sound music duo are considered top notch artists. 

[@Dice-Z]

+CoolPigeon Underrated is used for both popularity and rating.

[@str8todamoney]

CoolPigeon Yeah, underrated is always used when referring to not popular. At least here in the states.

[@THE_REDACTED]

There is a point where music becomes so intricate and deep that it is no longer a song but an entire experience, and this one is right there.

[@CamelliaFlingert]

and this is a point on timeline where their music goes on a completely different level, this EP was starting point for their new era (alongside with Sanctuary EP)

[@WorldNumber1Gamer]

One of my favorite songs of all time

[@dreamb0at]

*I don't understand, how can one create such beautiful, complex, perfect music without being noticed. KOAN Sound has done what many other musicians haven't achieved, and that is PERFECT Sound. These amazing human beings deserve a much bigger audience, and I'm glad I came across their music.*

[@Lrofmaulol]

MARKETING! No seriously though, if you don't submit to the labels catering to the masses ("mainstream") in a promotional manner there's only word of mouth (or, word of internet I suppose which is certainly a step up)

[@MrLazheli]

I feel like KOAN sound doesn't care so much about fame.

[@fractalelement857]

becouuzzz this is a MTV ,lady gaga kanye west music type of world and society .

[@manman-sg1zt]

I think that in this case people just lost their sense of taste. That's why music like this which is comparable to the best classical compositions is not seen very often. It's not bad becouse it's not popular, It's good becouse it unique and genuine. edit: I found my new flow state track.

[@BuckingFuffalos69]

Because people cant get blown out on X and dance and sing along like degenerates to this kind of music. Music like this is more about the feeling and quality of the sound. Only those who really appreciate music can understand it

[@Vasy2310]

Is it just me or someone else getting goosebumps everytime when listening this brilliant track?

[@WangleLine]

You're not alone~

[@akunii7249]

it's just (very) uplifting, aura-phenomenic, just like when goku turns into super-saiyan, and when it stops, everything just drops. he knows how to harness the power of gravity to lift himself in worlds that makes everything heavy. i feel the shared essences, although not in its full or utmost quality, in certain music, helps me some, through some times, especially at times..

[@FLNKmusic]

6 years later, still my favourite track of koan sound, from so far

[@FLNKmusic]

7 years later, and this statement is still true

[@kg_swe]

Ages like fine wine

[@FLNKmusic]

​@@SnakeInTheRain yeah, it's probably one of my favorites too but i still prefere sentient, it has a very special vibe to me, something very personal somehow. I guess it's also some kind of snowball effect, like whenever i listen to sentient I remember of all the past times I did, and of the associated feelings and emotions.

[@deepthinkingeconomics1367]

I use to say that there are only two reasons why you don't like a song 1: it's too simple 2: It's too advanced to understand.. Every time Koan release a new song I listen to it and thinks "Nice, but the older ones where better" then I listen to it again and again and again and all of the sudden the message of the song starts to resonate with me. And I go like "holy....." Koan evolves with every song they release, it's like they are expanding the limits of mind, taking it to places never explored before.

[@Gen-Ghe]

Present

[@content.8104]

Whoever disliked this isn't sentient.

[@TheHappyNeudle]

I cant get enough of stuff like this. Not very many songs that i can listen to without them getting stale

[@reogill8943]

can you tell me more songs like this

[@akunii7249]

yea, not very many. and even so, it refreshes itself like anew after sometime, like the seasons that would frost and shimmer, bloom, or whichever so, like it.

[@dloathi]

@@reogill8943 Liquid Stranger - Dissolve is pretty similar. Ekcle - Clandestine.

[@CoolQuokka]

My favorite from the EP.

[@mikaelquanta77]

+CoolQuokka my favorite ever :)

[@knuchel25]

+Mikael Quanta Mine too ;)

[@ugl7529]

+CoolQuokka Mine is view from above but this is defo another one of my faves

[@dankleberg9159]

this is literally genius, its kinda sad that this is not mainstream music, it would make the way people handle things a lot better. still, its also so cool to find these underrated, barely viewed awesome songs on youtube making you feel like you have discovered something very important haha; i love my music taste and thank you koan for making this possible for the few of us in relation to the shit most people listen to

[@anotherpersonontheweb5558]

Yea all of the people listening to the mainstream crap don't know what their missing

[@joeylawrence990]

I just cant stop listening to this

[@Akshayjustdoit]

I use this track to check bass on speakers. Helps everytime

[@ahreuwu]

just found out about this, 6 years later, and it still sounds fresh as heck. I love this style, you guys are amazingly talented

[@tonipepperoni3424]

I remember getting emotional to this song when it first came out and havent listened to it in years by now but revisiting it its still just as fresh its got a combo of different styles of electronic

[@-IDub-]

Revisiting this years after it released, this gem of a song is still amazing to listen to

[@Dragonheardt]

I stumbled into a Koan Sound show back in 2013 or 2014 for reason to just hang out with friends to see Gemini. Without a doubt, Koan Sound was the best group there. Since then, I've enjoyed every track they've released. Especially this one. So good, thought provoking, yet relaxing and calming. Its perfect for relaxing or reflecting. I hope to listen to them forever

[@zachjch]

Out of the 4 tracks featured this is by far my favorite. Keep it up KOAN!

[@FaumauNZ]

Nothing but perfection

[@BigKnecht]

I have yet to see electronic artists surpass this masterpiece.

[@shalps9681]

So sick! Love it. Flow is unmatched, this song is BEAUTIFUL & SYNERGETIC

[@omaiga4608]

Most perfectly mixed & mastered album to date.

[@tagumagu]

what a juicy snare

[@duba6783]

[@bort3486]

[@WangleLine]

[@amandaamorosi2962]

+Strontiummuffin i liked this comment souly for your username my good sir.

[@hexbox23]

+Strontiummuffin That sound "Boop Boop Ba Doop" is like the best part in the song.

[@09cf]

the nostalgia i feel from this song is indescribable. i remember using the album art as my wallpaper for months after the ep released :')

[@metlifejimenez]

Una tarde lluviosa con un buen té, con buenos audifonos. Nostalgía. :') Que más se puede pedir.

[@musicspectrum5329]

beautiful

[@UNKLE_Lolo]

What intrigues me the most is to imagine with what specific device and instruments this piece of sound art was made; maybe it's very obvious but someone who has a clue? I think that the people who listen to this song and who comment here have in general very good musical taste.

[@vayretunes]

A computer, most likely ableton/cubase (which is the programs used to make the music) and other virtual synths. Probably serum/massive or fm8

[@OpticIlluzhion]

@@vayretunes well, if you take a look at their beats and bass sample pack trailer thing you can clearly see there's quite a few analog synths they have lying around

[@matthewwalton7288]

Perfection, thank you all + it was great seeing you live in Orlando. P.S. in the description it says "strilke" lol

[@K1tteh]

amazing to think i liked koan back in 2015 and i still like them today

[@Violant3]

this is a masterpiece, more people should recognize these guys

[@Now2Sense]

AMAZING

[@Aelfraed26]

I simply wanted so say thanks to a random old CSGO BHOP video which introduced me to this song

[@fakerhex]

My dream is for this song to be used in the adaption of my book that im writing. The ultimate dream to have Koan Sound be the composers for the adaptation but if not then atleast use this and some of their other songs for the adaptation. (of course, Ill buy the copyrights, I respect their music and would be ashamed of myself if i dont do it) I don't think this comment is going to be taken seriously as of now. Im still only in highschool but hopefully in the future, these words and my dream will come true. EDIT: Changes happen in life, going to university has slowed down my pace with my writing and my dream goals. In highschool I was way more ambitious and optimistic but nowadays i try to keep my expectations lower. Deep down i still want this dream to come true even its just a small portion of it like a short film or video with koan sound music featured in it but it wont be coming any time soon. The closest thing ive got is using koan sound music for AMVs and im currently working on another one as a hobby project.

[@internaut4257]

It"s been three years, tell me how your book is doing my guy.

[@fakerhex]

@@internaut4257 Aww geez I knew this would come back to haunt me 😂 Well if I am to be honest, I am still working on the book, ive had to scrap and rewrite the story a few times but I havent completed it for it to be published.
