A note

Hey guys! I’m Jayu, a producer who loves making nostalgic beats and ambient music. The idea for Shizen came from chasing happy accidents, those joyful moments in producing when something you didn’t plan turns out better than what you did. “Shizen” translates as “nature”, but it also carries a deeper meaning. It’s about letting nature take its own course, allowing it to follow its own rhythm and harmony. I think there is real beauty in embracing that randomness, and it’s the life force behind this plugin. I also really like fish LOL!
