To attain the highest level of consciousness for his audience, Hataken tunes the energy of the moment in order to focus both mind and soul. Slowly he shakes the listener into a higher vibration for positive waves of inspiration. Then, the soul of the machine can speak, harnessing human skill and knowledge, yet with no ego. Only then do the performer and the listener become one. There is only one moment, and that moment is upon us.
