When creating a work, be it improvised or composed, I attempt to translate image and feeling, through the sound inherent in an instrument, object or moment, to reflect the deep hues and colors and textures of everyday life. A sunrise, a desert landscape through a windshield, blurred motion, a stolen moment, soothing cacaphony, disturbing silence, sheets of sound, the ethereal, intense, playful and unexpected.
In performance, much is left to the transfer of energy between performer and listener. In humble respect to this, I strive to speak powerfully using an economy of notes and the fewest words possible.
