“With tools available today, it’s easy to make music that sounds passable and gets the job done. This is not my goal.
My goal is to turn heads, reward careful listeners, stir emotion in the jaded and cynical, and mystify the young and innocent.
I try to find purpose in the act of creating and learning with each project, and I hope to always appreciate having such a freaking cool job.”
