Sometimes I feel like a one man crusade against the devaluation of music in America and culture in the arts.

I'm not a haiku artist, but I wanted to use the phrase 5, 7, 5 in the melody that flows over time. So the string melody, the first one is five notes, the next one is seven, and then the third one is five.

I'm not going to limit myself in ways to compose or how I should record. You just do what you can with what you've got at the moment.

I don't think I can play the game and sell myself.

Of course the headspace for the young musician is whatever the guy who is paying you says, is right, but that's all.

People YouTube me and crap and then, they probably don't want to see me after seeing a friendly posted YouTube video, so I'm constantly having to take those down.

I try to put what's evocative in the music to me, I try and put that out there in terms of titles and imagery, or implication towards the listener.
