Interview:
I believe the spiritual significance of music is in its ability to awaken us to our True nature and Oneness with all. Sacred texts and philosophical writings around the globe have spoken of the “Music of the Spheres” as being the music of the highest nature and the barometer by which all music ultimately aspires. Harmony is said to be a prerequisite to beauty, which manifests it’s own intrinsic nature in the world of form and inspires us toward realization of who we really are. Music on this planet is as varied and diverse as the beings on it. It can be either an emotional “purging” or it can be a positive force for personal and planetary evolution. Because music affects us in such powerful ways I feel a responsibility to create compositions that will enhance and uplift listeners in some way. Music can transcend the mind, body, and emotions as a catalyst in healing through vibration. It can relax the mind, calm the nerves, soothe the soul, and affect us in wondrous ways! On a few occasions during my life I have had profound lucid dreams or “states” where I experienced music that far exceeded any I have heard in the waking state. I was so moved by the celestial sounds and vibrations that they have continually served as a standard for what the Spiritual essence of music appears to be all about which, is to uplift and awaken us to our Higher purpose!
