MAKYO is a term used in Zen buddhism to refer to a world of confusing and seemingly mystical hallucinations that one can fall into during deep meditation. Our use of the name reflects our fascination with the exploration of inner space, but also the nature of our society, in which we are surrounded by layers of makyo --artificial realities, mediated realities-- which seem much more real than they are. Our music is about cutting through this illusion in a search for something pure.
