Artist Statement:
My new body of work entitled ‘Sky Trajectories’ was created intensively in the month of December 2023. During that time, I felt a stark contrast between the dire realities facing children as the war raged on in Gaza and the peaceful environment in which I was able to immerse myself in making music in Chicago. I am aware that I am in a privileged position; therefore, in consultation with my label, I have decided to donate the net profits from the sales of this album to the UNICEF Gaza Humanitarian Crisis Fund.

Although I do not consider my artistic practice as a form of propaganda by any means, ‘Sky Trajectories’ was undeniably shaped by these difficult times. Through this work, I hope to extend a helping hand to those in need and be close to children and their families affected by this crisis.

Artist Statement in Japanese:
僕の新作『Sky Trajectories』は2023年の12月に集中的に制作されました。その間、ガザの戦争が悪化する中で子供たちが安全な環境から遠く離れている現実と、自分がシカゴで音楽制作に没頭できる平和な環境との対照を強く感じました。僕は自分が幸運な立場にいると自覚しており、そのためレーベルと相談し、このアルバムの売上から得られる僕の純利益は、UNICEFのガザ人道危機緊急募金に寄付することを決意しました。

自分のアートはプロパガンダではありませんが、『Sky Trajectories』はこの難しい時代の刻印を受けていることは間違いありません。この作品を通じて、少しでも支援の手を差し伸べ、困難な状況にある子供たちとその家族に寄り添いたいと考えています。

Probably one of the most "Big Deals" as far as I know being a BC user. For a ridiculous price—four bucks—you get 40 awesome tracks under SP's signature with all its meaning. This compilation is a really MUST-HAVE. My favorite track has been chosen by pure randomness. Enjoy this gift! sjah83
