"There is probably a reality that does not depend upon us, but we never experience it without mediation. Our senses select it, our nervous system organises it, language divides it into concepts, culture gives it meanings, memory edits it, emotion colours it, and narrative connects it to an identity. Yet reality is not merely invented, because it resists us, surprises us, contradicts us and forces our interpretations to change."
Music for me was always about creating stories, new worlds that I wanted to live in, or worlds I was afraid I might have to live in... So, I started composing literally even before learning how to play music because the journey just couldn't wait... I run with music when I have to, I fear through music chords, I love through symphonic lines, I strive to reach to the end with my soul pounding heavy crescendos... and my soul only speaks the language of music... Some would say I try to escape reality, some that I try to create new ones... I say: one life is never enough... I want to live as many as I can...
