I’m a huge fan of what Akira the Don does, but I chuckled at the irony there...Watts is talking about how the best music has no “meaning”...and Akira literally calls his music “Meaningwave” 😂
Jeffjunk lol, things could always be worse. Your wife could be cheating on you with a much bigger guy than yourself. The bike doesnt seem so bad now does it?
I love your work combining insightful talks with atmospheric music. Pacing the talks to the pacing of the music prepares the listener to absorb the message. Stay on the lookout for good talks! I really think you're onto something with this genre.
1:45 materialism vs idealism Both are just thoughts. The Buddha and Alan Watts talked about Dhammawhich is Experience, as apposed to existence which is just a concept.
Man, Dire Dire Docks and Alan Watts. We are really ascending to a new dimension of being. So grateful to be alive right now, to listen to this, to share my joy with all of you. Thanks

It isn’t going anywhere... otherwise the fastest orchestras would be considered the best.” I have lost count of how many of you asked me to do an Alan Watts meaningwave. Its a shell od a lot! So I here you go bubba. This one’s for YOU. And you, and you. And definitely you. Thank you for being here, from the bottom of my heart. I APPRECIATE YOU!
Akira The Don I came for Peterson, but I'm sticking around for more Watts! Love your style of music, my friend! I appreciate you and what you're doing! :D Watts had a near inexhaustible amount of audio, so I imagine you'll be mixing these for some time, but if you're looking for a new voice, I'd love to throw Terrance McKenna's hat into the ring for him! A lil' McK-WAVE up in here would be so dope! XD
Akira the Don, to me you are Akira the Dean! because you have takin' me to school with this new genre.. you have created a paradigm shift in education, Bigg Upps & much thanks
Please akria the don please make some with Jung, michael parenti, Chomsky, Slavoj Zizek(if possible with that lisp thing), Terence McKenna more watts. I'm obsessed and you're really onto something amazing, thanks!
YESSS you did it!! I thought this one might be coming at some point, im so glad! I had a feeling Alan Watt's voice would be perfect with Lofi, especially with the way you do it. Amazing work as always :) If you liked working with Alan Watt's voice, you will be surprised to find hundreds of hours of content of him, similar to Jordan Peterson, but maybe even more haha. So you wont run out of stuff to go through for collecting samples any time soon :P
Thank you for this. I love Watts, music & now this. For a moment, all is right and peaceful with the world and within myself. And although the moment passes I hold on to that peace and clarity and carry it around with me for when I face life's trials and darkness. I love the world, its diversity and craziness but still, I can't help but hope that one day everyone will know this feeling and carry it around with them as well. I feel that Watts has a funny way of making total strangers feel closer to you... P.S Subbed & now I'm gonna check out your Jordan Peterson ones :) Peace.
I just recently started getting into vaporwave. At the same time I've been in the search for profound truth, which eventually led me to find out about this man- Alan Watts. One of the great thinkers of our time. I've been listening to his recorded seminars for months now and now I came across this...I swear, I feel like Im starting to have a conversation with the Universe. This is Gold!
This makes me need to start a referendum to take Paul out of scriptures ,I could imagine John the Baptist telling the sky above him don't tempt me Lordt but he makes me want to break my commandments
The lines on either side of the "corridor" seem to intersect on the horizon behind Alan's head. On one side it's a pair of scissors. On the other side is open female legs. Saying, "Please come in."
I thought the Don was going for that Vaporwave-Avante-Garde suddenly. If he'd waited one more day it would've been a great joke. I listened to the first 5 minutes thinking, any morment now something is going to happen... ua-cam.com/video/sGHVE7BTW-o/v-deo.html (I un-ironically train karate to this album to practice my kime, because it's next to impossible to keep your focus while listening to that)
Lovely! These Wattswaves are so relaxing. I never played Super Mario, so my introduction to Dire Docks is from the JBP wave Wild Man - and I find it strangely nostalgic already. It's a wonderful tune :).
Akira, your mixes are the soundtrack to my life. Would love if you could do even more Eastern Philosophy (such as Eckhart Tolle, Ram Dass Dalai Lama, etc).
Started with the JPB tracks and then discovered these... its been amazing. Now I'm just listening to Watts lectures and will soon enough get on to his books. Thanks for the intro, good sir. And keep the dopeness coming... best on UA-cam!
Alan Watts was a totally precious soul. Love his words so much. He was way ahead of his time, before we had the internet. Apart from beloved Jacque Fresco, he is second to none.
Akira The Don, maybe you have heard of him I'm not sure though - Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche - would make a great mix, he was a very enlightened speaker and somewhat of a rock n roll munk. Loving the mixes...please continue!
What if we have free will but most of us are asleep. I shouldn't say asleep but one must access flow or in the zone in order to truly succeed in this world. War popped to mind when thinking about it, would be one of the most effective flow state triggering tools possible.

My bike was just stolen. Thanks for this. We all have a choice on how we feel and react to life.
Sorry to hear that 😡
Jeffjunk lol, things could always be worse. Your wife could be cheating on you with a much bigger guy than yourself. The bike doesnt seem so bad now does it?
Thats a very stoic way to think about it
hope u got a new bike
Alan Watts is genius! Consider Terrence McKenna for a next one, he’s also incredible

Thank you Akira... Truly, thank you. I appriciate the time and work you used to make this.
Thanks for taking the time to write that Arthur!

Akira + Alan Watts is heaven on earth

I love your work combining insightful talks with atmospheric music. Pacing the talks to the pacing of the music prepares the listener to absorb the message.
Stay on the lookout for good talks! I really think you're onto something with this genre.
Appreciate you Sean!
Akira The Don Do not give up on UA-cam! Your music is brilliant!!!!

May I suggest a Terence Mckenna Wave for the future? I have made some myself before with sauce wave radio and his lectures playing in the background.

Sounds awesome. Ill check it out!
You ever hear the song The Shamen did with him? That was my shit when I was like 12
Yes, +1 for Terrence
This sounds promising :)
1:45 materialism vs idealism
Both are just thoughts.
The Buddha and Alan Watts talked about Dhammawhich is Experience, as apposed to existence which is just a concept.
Wow....The first two names to pop up when I search a word starting with the letter 'a" are now in the same video.
What a time to be alive 🔥
That's handy🦋
You my friend, are a true artist.
Bless your soul my dude
Akira The Don you as well 👽

Akira The Don Do one of Larken Rose's "You're Not The Boss of Me" speech and I'll tell 10 people in person about you, and I'll share it with 25.
The serpent probably winked right?

Akira the Don, to me you are Akira the Dean! because you have takin' me to school with this new genre.. you have created a paradigm shift in education, Bigg Upps & much thanks
THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRTE!!!
This one is my personal favorite of all Akira. Post yours, if you disagree. I'll be more than glad to upgrade, but I can't imagine better.
21:50 so if you suddenly say but my life has no meaning... you're identifying yourself with a word
I just love that you start this mix with Dire Dire Docks. Such an epic intro.
🙏🙏🙏
Great music composed by AKIRA THE DON
HAHAHAHA
Indeed :)
Hey man. That background video you placed behind Alan Watts, where can I get it? I'd really be happy if you could tell me its name. Thanks.
19:14 - Great music as composed by Mozart, Bach or... Akira the Don!
27:12 when you know you’ve been listening to a lot of JBPWave lately
What about some Joseph Campbell mixes.
You must be smiling now lol his Campbell album is awesome
Many a great sesh to the many a great waves from Akira! Blessings and peace.
🌊🙏🌊
I love the don.

Loving the background music from Super Mario 64’s water stages, first song in the video, nice touch!
Ha!
29:20 perfect description of satori, sota pana.
Showed my buddy Jbp wave last month and he was like "someone should do this but with alan watts"
HAHAHAHA your pal is smart
Damn, Terrestrial_Exituim has competition now.
This makes me need to start a referendum to take Paul out of scriptures ,I could imagine John the Baptist telling the sky above him don't tempt me Lordt but he makes me want to break my commandments
Loooool
This is trippy. For a momennt I had to ask myself If I smoked herb, but I didnt today. My friend, this video got me high ❤️
Excellent 🌊🌊🌊
Someone Tweet this to Sam Harris lol
He the kinda guy would share this out xD
Akira, you The Don!!!
ELLIOTT YOU ARE A G
I already know this is gonna be DOPE!
YEAH BABY
Great mix, really helped to motivate me to be present when I listen at work. Please keep making these!
I SOLEMNLY SWEAR! THANK YOU!
He has the same voice as Sir Ken Robinson (you should definitely do him by the way).
Cheers my bearded brother.

The lines on either side of the "corridor" seem to intersect on the horizon behind Alan's head.
On one side it's a pair of scissors.
On the other side is open female legs. Saying, "Please come in."
✂️
This is excellent. Tippy Top!
Thank you!
It's a good thing this one wasn't real silence this time haha

I thought the Don was going for that Vaporwave-Avante-Garde suddenly. If he'd waited one more day it would've been a great joke. I listened to the first 5 minutes thinking, any morment now something is going to happen...

It’s April 1st tomorrow as well lol
Love these meaningwave tracks, does anyone else think Alan Watts is like if Jordan Peterson used to much acid?
"too much"?
That's just his Zen speaking
larry stanley I listen to both of them a lot and wondered if Jordan Peterson listened to Alan Watts cause they have many similarities
Carl Jung is definetely a common point in their ideas
Love your stuff :) subbed
W e l c o m e
Lovely! These Wattswaves are so relaxing. I never played Super Mario, so my introduction to Dire Docks is from the JBP wave Wild Man - and I find it strangely nostalgic already. It's a wonderful tune :).
ABSOLUTELY love it!
A M E N !
Real silence only leads to madness. The brain, lacking stimulus, creates its own.
The Human Mind, aroused by an insistence for meaning, seeks and finds nothing but contradiction and nonsense.

Love these mate, any chance you could do more bukowskiwaves? 😁 X
Yes!
Akira, your mixes are the soundtrack to my life. Would love if you could do even more Eastern Philosophy (such as Eckhart Tolle, Ram Dass Dalai Lama, etc).
Coming sooN!
