4 MAPS OF INFINITE POSSIBILITY
In trying to define the concept of my music, I am compelled to take a whole experience and condense it into a singular statement that, in theory, encompasses the entire thought process behind my work. I do not believe this can be done, for nothing is truly that simple, yet I will make an attempt.
My purpose is to create a music exploring the undefined in the most direct way possible by attempting the impossible or infinite. The realization of what is not defined or possible in effect, creates new possibilities and new undefined or infinite areas to be explored. In my work I have attempted to define this as the "Infinite Variables", which in my system symbolize these attempts at unknown propositions. The "variables" are defined by the scientific terms "mass", "time", "space". These variables can be both infinitely large and infinitely small taking into account the reality of infinity where things are both infinite large and small.
While exploring these "Infinite Variables" I do not intend to create a music that cannot be heard or is too loud to hear. The point of these propositions is to try something that cannot be done in order to put oneself in a new area of exploration. In the end these are devices of not only the listener but also of the performer.
The previous artistic statement, while accurate, is still incomplete. Since I finished my M.A. work at Wesleyan University, I have taken a path I could not have predicted on graduation day. Examining my music after graduation, I felt it had become had become too academic. While I felt my work represented me, I did not believe it took into account the totality of my musical life. So I had to go back to the drawing board and re-discover myself.
At this same point I also felt that my guitar playing had lagged and fell far beyond my composition skills. I needed to set up a proposition that would allow me to satisfy the following goals:
1. To improve my improvisation skills to encompass my composition style. 2. To make my ideological goals reflect my reality 3. To explore the "Infinite Variables" outside of academics 5. To have fun again with my music
To move toward ful
