I am kind of interested almost anthropologically in the way ‘jazzbro’ theory has filtered into online musical discourses: primarily the idea that modes should be taught *early*. They’re wonderful and colorful (see: you can play CREAM on the piano almost immediately) but the standard triad chordal analysis is immensely complicated by using them, which is why normally we start by teaching students the major and minor scales and then expanding out

My art is a lot like my mind - vast, far-reaching, and yes, unfocused. But not unfocused like a distracted kindergartener - unfocused like an impressionist painting, or the shimmering reflection of a lakeside town backlit by a summer sunset. My favorite things to see and hear and evoke in my work are things that are best viewed from afar: Thunderstorms that I chronicle with photographs of their development from start to finish - the lightning as it approaches, the shelf cloud rolling in, the way the cumulonimbus clouds blur into pale smudges as the rain begins, and then if I’m lucky, the rainbow and sun rays at the end of it all. The wonders of deep space captured in whimsical prose about my alien clone who lives 444 lightyears away in the Pleiades Cluster, or the Andromeda galaxy’s spiral arms reaching out in friendship. Whether I’m exploring the world through my musical, written, or visual arts, my ultimate goal is always the same: To bring my audience along with me to an exact place and time in the universe. Read my prose and envision the depth of deep space viewed from a frozen winter night in a small town on Earth. See my artwork and imagine the autumn landscape surrounding a pair of cedar waxwings. Wrap yourself up cozy and warm in my knitted blanket and know that it’s meant to keep you comfy in a log cabin on a chilly evening somewhere in Appalachia.
My art is - for myself and hopefully for my audience - a respite from the up-close, now-right-now, loud, concrete, grayness of everyday suburban and urban life in America. An oasis of dark skies with all their star clusters and nebulae, mountain ranges with their valleys and rivers, and the sounds of only those things that would still remain even if humankind and everything we created ever vanished from the universe.
