Form is paramount in music. As musicians we play tunes, songs, beats, fugues, concertos and so on. As listeners we connect with those familiar structures, we know the chorus is coming after that verse, the melody respects the number of bars it has to evolve. Everything is in place. That being said, there are paths less explored, and sometimes our human nature is calling us to wander where the wild things are, to listen to the things that want us to find them. This new solo project is a vehicle conceived to do just that.
