Interview:

Music can essentially be seen as a series of sounds and vibrations repeated in patterns. It is the meaning that people instinctively relate to it that I think gives music such intense power. Likewise, even something presented to symbolize nothing, does in fact still represent something. The reaction that music causes may create some sort of identity in itself, which in turn creates significance. So technically speaking, even silence can be a form of music. It’s up to you. It’s all in how you view it. Isn’t “nothing” actually really still something? So couldn’t silence be a form of music? Like that pause in the middle of a song, how would that song sound missing that pause? To bring this explanation of my viewpoint to a close, I will state that the value of something, or it’s “true” significance, is always dependent on the interpretation by the person making the evaluation. The fact that we instinctively react to music causes me to believe that it has some level of spiritual significance to everyone. It is also my belief that the possibilities of what spiritual significance music can have to someone is only limited by the individual, and ultimately can be limitless.
