MAINTAINING PASSION
When you make more of what you love, you discover new ways to make it interesting for yourself. The boredom of quarantine made it necessary for me to make progress in my music.
MUSICAL TIME CAPSULES
If you remember the big jump you went off, you also remember the music soaring to match the apex of your flight. However, this doesn’t exist as just a memory. I can play the game whenever I want to relive these experiences and hear the music again in the same context as I did before. I think that this is an incredibly powerful feeling… we invest our time and emotions into games and it’s no wonder that we feel nostalgic about them. Music immerses us further into the isolated universes and experiences of a story by putting it in our own hands, eyes, and ears.
TIMELESS TUNES
Modern music has not appeared out of thin air. Contemporary works are built on the shoulders of giants, weaving together several inspirational sources, demonstrated in the genre, instrumentation, chord progression, or even just the feeling. Musical borrowing is an intrinsic value of musical creation, and it is fascinating how you can trace it between songs and generations.
