Compositionally speaking, this music is intended to expand the conventional horizons of live electronic music. The idea is to allure the listener with catchy hooks, slowly lead them outside their accustomed musical boundaries by means of developing harmony, and finally bring them back; all within a single composition. This is accomplished by fusing a diverse variety of musical elements that range from jazz theory to 18th century counterpoint. These unfamiliar musical territories can even bend the rules of counterpoint for the music theory enthusiasts who care to analyze it.
Another important aspect of this music is the mix of contrasting genres and vintage keyboards with ultra-modern sound design. I’m constantly looking for fresh and innovative ways to use music technology while keeping everything melodically and harmonically interesting at the same time.
