Action Speaks Louder than words. Music speaks louder than both. There is a point in my life when music seemingly replaced oxygen. I was aware of my passion prior, but the absence of musical creative life revealed a new truth: without it, I would perish. The craft of Composition has given me a framework through which I form meaning. It has allowed me to more intimately understand the creative process. Designers, architects, painters, lawyers, mothers, athletes, and so forth, all share an acute understanding of how to intelligently connect their artifacts to create a successful experience; they are all composers! It is my belief that composing is a mechanism of creation rather than merely a musical activity, and it is my duty to create art that connects to this truth. I feel obliged to share these insights with other creative artists, regardless of whether they consider themselves such.”
