Music
feels good to my body, mind, and soul, and it enables me to share
new sensations and modes of perception with others. In pursuit of
these experiences, my music has tended towards the visceral appeal
of improvisation and minimalism, and the intellectual appeal of
experimental formalism. At first, these poles seemed to be in opposition,
but I've found that for me they are just two approaches towards
a single goal: to appreciate life as a sensual and spiritual being.
Two Ways of Approaching Music is a conversation with
myself about this topic, and is also a conversation with the saxophone
virtuoso, Dave Reminick, for whom it was written.

Let's
make music together. I made sounds with my body and an extension
of my body. Now that the sounds have been recorded, manipulated,
and distributed to you, you can let the resulting sound and emotion
become a part of your world. You can sing along with it, you can
listen to it with great intellectual attention, you can send me
a letter and be my friend, you can let it accompany the sounds you
make with your own body, you can stick your fingers in your ears
and change your audition of the music, you can laugh or cry, or
you can rip the track and distribute it on Gnutella. You can do
it privately or publicly or not at all. And through this cooperation
(intentional or unintentional), we will be making music together.
It is in this interactive, holographic space that I wish to live,
and this is an invitation for you to join me.
