Our Philosophy of Music

Our philosophy in composing music is our belief that "Music" is a conversation. It can occur on different levels: between the musician and their instrument, or between different musicians playing in one ensemble. Through the realm of musical ideas the dialog of notes is its language. ​You strike a note on your instrument and it responds to physical energy that translates through the spirit. You play a musical phrase, and another player responds to it by playing another phrase. One thing which is important on all these conversational levels is a balance. Or, to put it in musical terms: harmony. If there is harmony, music makes sense. Yes, there is tension but it always wants to resolve back to a harmonious end.
