Interview:
I have always believed that from the very beginning of time God used music in creative and inventive ways to communicate. I would be completely shocked if this communication process was not paramount to the actual creation of the universe. That said, music has always been a foundation and fascinating look into the character of God.
There is that mystical peek into the music of the angels in early scriptures, and always the resonating of it in the New Testament as well. From Lucifer’s orchestrations to King David’s balladry in caves, music has been a fundamental way of expression. When music is being performed, or created, in that most innocent and pure moment of function, we are closest to God.
“When music is being performed, or created, in that most innocent and pure moment of function, we are closest to God.”
