Artist Statement

If music could open a door, what would you find outside?

Is there a world out there? A memory? A feeling long-forgotten?

I compose to open doors in the halls of my mind.

Someday, I’ll find the way out. Until then, I wander. And I wonder…

What rooms will I find? Which doors still need a key?

If I could choose what appears, I would’ve walked outside already.

But I don’t make the key, the music does.

And you may not want that. Or music speaks to you differently.

Either way, I’m sure you have a door left unopened for years.

And I think you’re curious what’s behind it.

Music sends a speechless message.

It might not be what you want, but the message is a key.

That key will open a door. You may not like what lies beyond,

But to see it… All you must do is listen.
