“Beauty can only impact the listener profoundly when it is multi-dimensional. Its outer pleasant layer must be couterpointed by an equally important, often subtle dark one whose shadows of disturbance create anticipation within the listener as he yearns for those flickers of light. In my music, i try to create a balance within these opposites. Thats how i got inspired by the pendulum. Both sides are coexisting with each other. The further up you push it to one side, the faster it will go back and up on the other side. My mother inspired me with her image of an infinitely long pendulum swinging slowly but powerfully from brightness to darkness, touching all shades between. You cannot see the top of the pendulum, but that is where art is originating.”
