The Shakeup by ookiiani
Two years after the release of my previous album THOUGHTFORM, I decided to lay low for a while and try and work on my sound. THOUGHTFORM had a lot of genre elements and was very much a mix-mash of styles, and I wanted to keep this feeling in the next album too. Now in 2020 I present to you the newest addition to your ookiiani collection: The Shakeup!
This album is a triumph for me personally in many ways - both mixing and mastering wise, but also the opportunities it gave me to work with friends both new and old.
As the 'reliance' on samples in my music has gradually lessened over time, The Shakeup was an important step for me to really address how my sound was going to develop as I move further and further towards completely sample-free music. Only around half of the album heavily uses samples, and this was a chance for me to make the music still as exciting as THOUGHTFORM; hopefully I achieved it.
This album was delayed a few times due to the current world situation; but at long last it's time to shake some things up!
Happy listening <3
