miscellaneous



i hope to have more work (in different mediums even!) to share here in the future. for now, i’m using this miscellaneous section to gather my thoughts on a number of topics, chief among them why i make art. it’s not quite a manifesto, but i do enjoy the idea of building a manifesto over time, so maybe this is the start of that kind of thing. 

on making music

in the past, i’ve written that perhaps my most indulgent wish as an artist and songwriter is that you (the listener) turn music into immersive theater, that you let it change the colors and textures of the world around you, that you imbue it with your own meaning even as you seek mine. i acknowledge this is perhaps a lot to ask of a listener, but this is how i engage with music in my own life, so it’s not coming from nowhere :).
