about

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020 I began to examine the meaning of Spirituality & Faith as I lived in a city of 8 million people who were now living apart from one another. I used the following themes and song titles as I began to compose and perform the music in isolation...

Faith - state of being grasped by an ultimate concern.
Drifting to (a)void

Faith through - a variety of beliefs moving toward sophistication.
The Already and the Not Yet

Faith - Coexistence of sameness and other. Recognizing and accepting the other. Other is self. Other and self are identical.
Instead of Eloquent Words

State of Faith is inherently uncomfortable.
Far Away is Close at Hand in Images of Elsewhere
