On Music

The primary reason I compose Music is because it enables me to fully express myself, in a way which is true to myself, empowering, cathartic, and shielded from true understanding and thus judgement and ridicule.
Music is important to me as a means of encoding or encrypting my raw feelings and achieving cathartic release. It affords me an important layer of abstraction and plausible deniability (read: protection). And because of the harmony of these two features, I am able to safely share a version of my most intimate or controversial thoughts in a way which may offer an allusory, provocative, or emotional experience for others who may find themselves resonated in unanticipatable ways.
In this respect, I reject the need for music or any creative forms to be limited to a specific genre or lens of intention, and invite that music be protected as a way to safely explore alternate perspectives without fear, pressure, or corruption.
For me, music is a way to express deep sadness and discontent with myself and with the world -- and for the intensity of these feelings to be seen in a way which is safe for myself and others; that we may together suspend disbelief or preconceived knowledge and revel both simultaneously in uncharted territory and common ground, in a state of feeling and reflection where there needn't be right or wrong answers.
