I have been making music since I was 16, or for 7 years, starting with Acid 3, then Reason 2 years later, following FLStudio 1 year later. Currently using Abelton Live 5 primarily. 

What does it mean?

Historically:
The court jester was a state-sponsored mischief maker who was not only permitted, but hired to speak his mind--often in jokes, riddles or songs-- when others were forbidden in the presence of power. The jester was the only acceptable form of deviation in the King's courts, expected to poke fun at all the cultural taboos, to puncture the ruler's ego and publicly break rules, thereby allowing an outlet for otherwise "forbidden" insights, behaviors, and feelings.
The court jesters of medival days eventually became known as "enlightened fools".

In Tarot Cards:
The Fool is assigned the number zero - indicating that s/he is not yet defined - s/he is the symbol of the potential of all men. S/He is also symbol of the beginning of the journey, as well as a symbol of the traveler on the end of a journey, similar to the death/birth cycles - s/he would be in between them, but not "in" one of those cycles.
However, the Fool is also the symbol of the redeemed initiate, who has returned to society to save others.

Why this name?
"Enlightened Fool", to me, represents the individual seeker at various stages of growth. The ability to poke fun at the current norms and standards we set for ourselves, or imposed upon us by society, is an important part of growth, for it allows us to "unlearn".
Unlearning is as important for growth as learning. Some/most of our present knowledge, beliefs, and assumptions about how the world "is" is no longer serving our highest interest in mankind.

Why you?
I will try to allow us to hold a mirror to ourselves and examine our own shortcomings and faults. When we can do this genuinely with understanding of how to change them to positive things, we can open ourselves to transformation.

The "realized fool" is one who has become as the child, carelessly walking through life, making no ripples, yet always leaving behind smiles.

The "enlightened fool", dressed as the clown with multi colored coat, each color representing a different energy, a different form of life. Although s/he is enlightened, s/he is still looked upon as an idiot to the ignorant.

I hope to help shed the light out and bring the people back to greatness.
