More About UsProjects
“I find the combination of story, text, and live music — almost always classical — is a powerful, fascinating and under‑explored medium.”
“The synthesis of music and text takes us beyond the limits of consciousness. Music always draws us into a dialogue, which ultimately becomes a conversation with ourselves.”

©NF» There is something truthful about music that life can’t replicate.
Music is a higher truth. I was fascinated by the various ways in which music could be used and what sort of text fills in the gaps in music. It's possible in my mind that the two together can create something very strong and separate to either one alone. «
