Interview:

Music conveys itself through the ethers, sculpting the airwaves. It’s rather like hand delivering a letter to the ears. Each of us has an individual subjective response to what we hear, and all manner of different art can lead the sole listener to profound states of consciousness. Some musics purely by their intention can assist this journey to bliss and grace. This has been so for eons. The sound of a large gong can sound like what we might perceive as the voice of God. There are climaxes in some of the symphonies of Bruckner and Mahler that as they resonate, lead you sonically up to the heavenly heights. I occasionally try to emulate this feeling, for example in “Heart Land”. At other times my sound is designed to act as a tender cradle for the listener to experience their own version of peace and love. Thus in my view, music is a miracle of emotion that has given us our humanity and sense of self. As a consequence, a deep personal spiritual insight that goes beyond mere words nurtures us with the beauty of sonic love as it echoes through our skin and bones, touching the heart.
