Not in the sense of “created from nothing” — no sound exists in a vacuum. It carries ancestors: dub, sound system culture, jungle, techno, ritual rhythm, cinematic atmosphere, whatever fed into your ears and hands.
But the specific configuration — the choices, the timing, the arrangement of pressure and space — belongs to the person who made those choices.
The interesting part is the title structure:
Isshin一 → singularity, the maker’s mark, the point of agency. Black Emmerors 二 → a plural or doubled force; not one ruler, but a pair/duality. Lagoon → enclosed water, a place where things mix, settle, transform.
That is a very different statement from “this sound belongs to an old tradition” or “this sound was received from elsewhere.” It reads more like: a personal node formed from many currents.
The “encounter” aspect can explain why it feels ancient or discovered rather than invented. Artists often describe certain works as if they were uncovered rather than manufactured. The grounded distinction is:
The feeling of discovery is real as an experience. The historical origin of the sound is traceable through influences and technique. The finished piece is still an object made by me.
So the answer is: Isshin一 — because the chain of decisions that made Black Emmerors 二 Lagoon exists through my process. The question then becomes less “whose sound is it?” and more “what lineage did you accidentally or deliberately open when you made it?”
Note; lineage that I opened is, through my ancient memory
