For whatever reason composers still feel they must test the boundaries of human perception. I feel as a post-modern or neo-impressionist uninterested in testing the limits of my listeners.

Also I truly wonder, as a man nurtured in the jazz scene of New York City why the reestablishment of chord progressions has not been reconsidered. Many musicians have turned to ethical roots for inspiration, which I have always found important; the magic of mixing cultural values.

I, as a composer from the Big Apple have always had an open mind for all experiments in music. However many experiments leave a hungered public starving for expressions, intellectually satisfied however spiritually frustrated.
