Whether emanating from paper, magnets, and epoxy; breath through a saxophone; wind through dry leaves; 
or train wheels screeching on metal rails, sound creates context for our experiences. The sound of a busy 
street could bring you or I back to time spent sitting on a patio in front of a restaurant, or navigating 
the streets of an unfamiliar place. The sound of waves crashing on the shore might bring back memories from 
childhood, or a meaningful vacation. A chord progression might bring us back to a club somewhere, or conjure 
a memory of a loved one. 

A great piece of music uses any of these, or other sounds, to pull memories and emotions out of  the listener. 
Rather than tell a story, many of the greatest pieces of music evoke the listener’s own stories. These stories 
may come from the listener’s past or the listener’s imagination. More like a mirror than a narrative, a great 
piece of music provides the listener with a tool to look further into his or her subconscious and find something 
meaningful. Music gives the listener context; it gives the listener an environment in which to explore him or 
herself.

I hope that when you listen to my music, you can find such an environment to explore. Beyond any definition of 
style or genre, I intend my music to simply be experienced as a combination of different, and sometimes disparate, 
sounds. Although most of my music results from specific feelings or events, or is created with some specific intent, 
the final meaning of each piece of music belongs to you.
