I dream of freedom...but what truly is freedom? Ia it to be able to act as we choose? Laws prevent that in fear of anarchy. Is it to have not earthly desires? We can't help our need for food, water, or air. If we were to be able to fly, would we experience the same freedom that birds show us? Who knows as we are to remain tethered to the Earth. True freedom is quite the abstract concept to me. In this music before you, I seek to paint a picture of what the abstract concept of true freedom may be. Enjoy the groove, let the dynamics guide you, allow the smooth melodies to tell the story.
