Why do people create music? Do they create it for themselves, for others or for both? What is the meaning of the music that they create? Will the music convey the intentions of the artist? The funny thing about composing music is that I don't really think about any of these things. Sometimes I just sit and start playing a few notes and then it turns into a song. Sometimes I think of people, imagery, experiences or even the weather and just let it flow. The music that I create comes from the heart. I hope that you understand its meaning. When people try to explain my music, they say that it mindful, warm, soulful, soothing, contemplative and relaxing. Oftentimes, they just say that they have never heard anything like it, as it truly calms the soul. Over the past year, I have had the opportunity to perform at many local venues in the Sacramento and Folsom community. I want to thank my wife for having the patience and encouragement to listen to me compose and Jim Kiefer for sharing his beautiful art with the world.
