I've Carved Out A Career For Myself

Musically, I Always Allow Myself To Jump Off Of Cliffs. At Least That's What It Feels Like To Me. Whether That's What It Actually Sounds Like Might Depend On What The Listener Brings To The Songs.

There Are Things That I Refuse To Deal With Except Through My Music... Because I Don't Trust Humanity That Much, And I Don't Know If I Trust Me That Much. But I Trust The Songs.

We All Get Intimidated By Showing Ourselves, For Whatever Reason, We Think, If I Really Show Who I Am, And Someone Goes [pfftt] Then It's Gonna Crush Me. Well, It's Not Gonna Crush Me. It Doesn't Crush You If Somebody Does That- Somebody Will Do That. Many Times. And Once You Accept That That's Not Why You're Doing It, You're Doing It Because That's Your Form Of Expression.

In Order For My Live Performance To Work, Which Is About Generating A Focused Energy For About An Hour And A Half, It Is Necessary For Me To Listen And Take In Someone Else's Focused Energy The Day Of Or The Day Before The Live Show. That Can Transpire Through A Conversation, Or Inspiration Can Occur By Looking Through Any Type Of Visual Book Which Sparks A Narrative. That Narrative Then Becomes Today's Seed And Can Then Take Root In Music Terms, Where A Sonic Tree Begins To Grow.

The Sense Of Loss Is Such A Tricky One, Because We Always Feel Like Our Worth Is Tied Up Into Stuff That We Have, Not That Our Worth Can Grow With Things We Are Willing To Lose.
