If none of my previous or future work would cease to exist, I would choose this work as my only work to be seen and criticized. 'Variants of Form' marks the height of my musical artistry, and I see all the material that I have produced since then as a mockery of that golden-age that existed for me back in 2002.

In the next coming months I plan on dividing the process to two video tracks and hopefully multiplying it up to six and eventually nine.
This process will allow the viewer to see more aspects within one field and will also provide the content producer to relay more information at once.

This video reflects an early childhood memory of zoning out to Lawrence Welk while being at home sick with intense allergies.

Thoughts on Originality

Being original is not for the faint of heart. Most of my unartistic friends think I'm somewhat crazy seeing what I produce. They ask why I'm being so personal and showing so much of my inner-self. My only reply is to create more.
