When choosing to define my perspectives on both practice and aspirations in sound I would most likely give two different answers on two different days; which is why my focus is derived from change, growth, and interaction.

Expression, experimentation, and reflection are the three key words that I choose to circulate through my mind when recording, playing an instrument, or arranging a piece by myself or with others.

Expression represents my sense of originality and personality within my work. I believe that personal expression is one of the key facets in art itself; by selecting the term as a focus allows me to maintain the artistic nature of music alongside my traditional approach to theory and structure. This also forces me to leave my comfort zone constantly, to combat my developing views of self expression and identity. For me, expression also presents the importance of my view on relationships and collaboration in art.

Experimentation analyses the joy I experience through hearing new things, evolving things I admire and love, and discovering new tonal and musical qualities in instruments and effects. I choose to acknowledge the never-ending road behind and in front of sound through experimentation, for both personal development, and development in the world of art and sound.

Reflection leads to growth, and I hold growth and development at the same level as creation in my practice. While I do believe that creation is entirely natural and not forced, the development and change that happens after should be just as natural and occurring. This is how I focus on developing myself as an artist and musician.
