with melodies. I then sing to those
melodies and start writing lyrics.
The one thing I need to do is update
my studio - at this moment it's an
upright piano & an old Casio synth.
CR: On March 10 you released a new
album, "Broken Temples". How did
you come up with the title?
KM: I came up with the title after
thinking about an interesting way
to describe an imperfect Christian.
CR: Can you elaborate on some of
the themes/messages behind the
songs?
KM: The overarching theme of the
album is definitely redemption. It's
also relying on God to define the
journey that we are all on. Faith is
the key, and an unflinching belief
that God understands us to the
core. Songs like 'Just As I Am,
Infinite, Clear & Light Me Up' all
talk about the need for guidance.
CR: If you can pick one, what is your
favorite track from your new album?
KM: Probably 'That was Then &
This Is Now'.... It feels like a trip
through the 1980's...memories of
school, life and learning about
myself.
CR: Aside from your music career,
you are also an author of graphic
novels and poetry. Could you tell me
a little bit about your most recent
work, "Fiefdom of Angels"?
KM: It's a story about the angelic
race before the creation of the
Earth. Obviously it's a bit of science
fiction/fantasy, as we don't know
specific details. I've elaborated
quite a bit, and have taken some
literary freedoms in describing what
I think might have happened. The
research is there if you dig however,
in compelling works like The Book
of Enoch, etc. It was always mind
blowing to me that no one has ever
really created a novel on the fall of
Lucifer & the events leading up to
it.
CR: Last but not least, rumors have
been circulating for years that there
will one day be a dc Talk reunion. Is
there any chance of that happening
in the near future?
KM: There's always a chance... And
I think the longer time passes the
less interested people will be. So I
for one think it's necessary & would
be a lot of fun.
