Interview:

Human beings respond to music physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. We are drawn to music that amplifies our longings and empowers our actions on any of these levels, in any moment or phase of life. Human will and the soul’s longings are our part in achieving spiritual connection. Divinity constantly reaches toward us. Our desire to know divinity is how we reach back, and that very longing ensures that a connection will occur. Beauty is one aspect of divinity. Beautiful music can awaken the soul’s longing for divinity and inspire us to make that reach. From a human standpoint, beauty is subjective, as each person’s experience of connecting with divinity is personal and unique. Beautiful music is a temporal fragment of the orderly universe in which we live; it is a resonant fractal of eternity. When the music we choose inspires higher meanings and values, when we appreciate beauty in music, our angelic companions and unseen friends enjoy it with us. The desire to seek out, identify with, and radiate universal love can be nurtured and augmented through listening to or creating music that reflects one’s highest conception of divinity at any point in time. Creating music is my life’s work. If beautiful music has the power to heal the world, one heart at a time, then may my music be a potent elixir for peace, joy, love, truth, beauty, and goodness.
