About

Philosophy

My aim is to create music celebrating life, in all its splendor and absurdity. My writing often grapples with themes of darkness and light, fear and love, a quest for transcendence from routine and expectation, and illumination of the humor and magic that surrounds us, just sometimes out of sight.
