Creating music, be it contemporary songs, piano or chamber music,
has been my life-long pursuit as a musician/songwriter/composer. The result of expressing thoughts and feelings in music as a language all its own is truly an extraordinary happening! How does it occur for the creative artist? It is an intense yet calming process; a combination of free improvisation and yet meticulous polishing! It can come from something internal or external, a lyrical or conceptual idea...or one single musical phrase or fragment. So...when speaking I do so with words...but music is really my language.
