I have always been incredibly interested as to why people feel emotions when listening to music, partially because I myself feel them so strongly when listening to most any piece, but also because music can often coney what words cannot. Because of this, I want to create music that evokes very strong emotions in the listener, that gives them space to feel and reflect.
