I feel that the project name(Unauthorized Xperiments) is very fitting because all of
the tracks contained on the project were not professionally mastered therefore they are not properly polished for the refined music listener,
hence the label `Unauthorized`.
The tracks reperesent what mixtapes of the past used to be, raw, unrefined, experimental
with beats, sounds, samples as well as lyrical conception.
These are tracks taken from an archive
of work from over the past 7 years to give fans and listeners a sense of the developement of the`Psyche style` or `Psychological style`
that I`d like to introduce.
The psyche style is the meeting of thoughts, reality and fantasy fused with intricate wordplay.
At times nonsensical, at times concretely clear but usually surreal.
The name Chiba Chemist is a representation of diametrically opposed perspectives.
The motivation behind the music for me, is finding the place where these two perspectives meet,
the place where one crosses into the other
and both sides are momentarily fused into one thought of sound in motion.
Chiba represents one side of the opposition and Chemist is the other.
Chiba Chemist could be viewed as a person, destination or frame of mind.
Hence,
the name represents both balance and the struggle for balance-
Where at times one triumphs over the other and at times both live in harmony.
This psyche style is the premise behind me,
the artist/scientist, Chiba Chemist.
