Music is expressed by vibrations that the brain cultivates based on the experience that one has lived and the awareness of the innefable essence of the universe. Sometimes, it's easier to identify with the former. Why should music be bound to an earthly lineage? For the longest time, I sought after a "sound" that was beyond any cultural identity. Since that style of music is inaudible, I decided to seek after the cultural musics of the world. In that quest, I discovered what I believed to be the common themes and sonic elements that makes music the medium that transcends all barriors. Here are some of my influences:Viliyat Khan, Jimmy Hendrix, Stranvinsky, Bach, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Peter Grabriel, John Coltrane, Paco de Lucia, VanGelis, Bartok, Al Green and the list goes on!
