Mr. Afternoon is the stage name of an up-and-coming artist and audio engineer specializing in immersive audio, best known for 2021 debut release The Golden Bonana in 5.1 surround sound. He states: "athaza is what came out of a project file I was using to learn a new DAW. The same project file I was using to test out a new mi, and also ensure I still remembered how to play my saxophone. While recovering from eye injury. It wasn't intended to be a commercial song, but why not? I'm sure someone would be interested. athaza is meant to be one long track, but has been divided into four seamless parts for accessibility."
