Rebellion, Cognition and the Percipient

Revolt is, at times, an existential necessity.


Any artform may be designed as a tool for elevating perception and evolving perspective.  Most are not so designed, and, in fact, engage a sense of acceptance of the status quo accordingly.  This is no more than a capitulation to appearances.  Nothing more.

The artist as composer is interested in revealing, through representations in sound, the underlying realities of natural and human phenomena, and if doing so results in a sense of transcendence and detachment in the listener, so it will be.
