Gesture, Word, Tone

Meaning is conveyed through signs, signals and symbols.   Combined, they may communicate with continually increasing subtlety and complexity.


Archetypal meanings deeply rooted in the human psyche are associated with sounds. Perceptions prehistoric cultures associated with sounds-- bright and sharp, deep, ethereal, portentous or ominous, clashing, roaring, divinely or mystically strange-- resonate in modern consciousness.

As poetry communicates on many levels of meaning at once, so the symphonic tone poem suggests myriad levels of musical and emotional meaning, and that is the simple intent of my work with transformation ambient and sketch compositions in an electronic setting as well.
