The Music Imprint

Music isn’t ours or any man’s in the first place. We can't really create music because it is already there in the universe, in the air that we breath in, it is in us!

Music moves us. We cant see music, but we know its there -- spirit, the sensed but unseen. We feel connected with music because we can identify ourselves in it. What is even more magical about music is that while it has the ability to stir us, we are able to manipulate its elements into something that's absolutely beautiful and uniquely ours to share.

I believe in the idea of music being spiritual. The footprints we leave behind in our journey of life are like music notation. You can tell a lot about a person from the tracks he/she leaves, and you can do the same with the notes a musician plays. Reading tracks is like reading music, just as making tracks is like making music. Every time you move and every time you play a note, a piece of yourself is left behind. The more we learn about ourselves, the closer we are in finding “originality”. As we grow as a person, our craft grows along with us.
