Artistic Statements

For me music is an organic mirror to our minds; a cherished garden of the intellect, augmented by others.

To paraphrase Simon Fischer, the string sound is an other-worldly multi-dimensional substance that can be shaped in the air - beautiful!

Here are some other ideas close to my work...

Ancestors

Stringed instruments are evolved cultural archetypes and they have a potency to create enriched humanized states - sublimate this heritage and re-apply it to an open futurist manifesto

Technology

I believe in the exquisite extension of musicianship through increasingly charmed non-biological intelligences. Acoustical minds be happy - our instruments, compositions and performances are waking up!

Textures

Create a world of living, sensuous string contours and exotic electronic resonances - vivid, dramatic, visceral...

Designs

Prefer designs to compositions; make music that is alive, joyful and connected. Experience and share emergent qualities - this can be exquisite beyond words

Shape and Flow

Create gardens for musical minds and influence their natural shape and flow. No need to 'control', 'cause' and 'build' - recognise that in music as in life we may be joyfully correlated to larger contexts. Embrace natural autonomies

Tonalities

See sound as the continuum of oscillations; share the experience of tonality as an emotional fabric, woven through space into vibrant and luminous manifolds
