From jazz to the funk, to the rock to the hard, from classical to the chaotic. The universe resonates with a spectrum of sounds, from the orderly to harmonic anarchy, which already hold their own beauty. Then we SHAPE those sounds with our spirits and our God-given imaginations into something that is POWERFUL, whether it is a whisper of micro-tonal nuances or a gargantuan groove that is louder than the world itself!
