Life in Music

I think it's safe to say that nearly everyone in the world has experienced the power of music.  It can be found in the beats of drums in rural China, the bedrooms of our young, on the stages of the world, in back alleys of the slums and the sidewalks of the wealthy, in the voices of our grandmothers, and of course, on radios and cd's, records and computers, iPad's and iPod's.

Music has traveled far and wide and has established itself deeply within us (regardless of one's social status).  It's become a part of who we are.


There's something so deep and true about it for each person that it's become difficult to separate ourselves from it.  For me, it has become a passion of mine to create music.  I began learning how to play various musical instruments at the age of fourteen and what a joy it's been!  There's just so much life to be found in musical notes, with each instrument offering something different from the last.  It's incredible.  Over the years, I've made attempts to capture certain sounds with the hopes of playing out what was in my head.  However, I was never satisfied with what I was able to produce.

♫ That is until now

I invite you to come and experience what I've found so much delight in creating.  I've posted my music on SoundCloud, a music "scene" of sorts.  And if you have a pair of headphones, throw 'em on because it'll sound much better that way.


And please, leave a note.  Tell me which types of sounds you liked the most.  And share it with someone we both know.  Sing on, friends! :)
