Parabstruse est. 2007
I've been writing music for several years now, but nothing ever felt as fulfilling until I started this project. It started kind of spontaneously, after four years of various projects I took part in. They seemed to all fill a certain hole or niche in my life musically but nothing more. I took some time away from music to clear my head, so to speak. Honestly, I just felt it was time to take a break. After a while, I picked up my guitar and started writing again. I can't really explain in words what came over me, but I took a different direction with how I wrote music. It developed into something I felt more connected to. I just wanted to translate my life into music. It was unlike before where I went through a period of writing songs for just the music but the meaning behind it wasn't there. I know some people work that way and that it's fine for them but I grew tired of it and became complacent. I learned from myself and realized that it should be more about feeling. My music has become that way ever since. You may not realize it initially but my songs are about my life, my memories, and everything I feel that makes its way into the process. The music itself isn't generally one thing or another; I enjoy incorporating a variety of styles into my own. It's just how I feel at any given moment. If someone asked what my priority is for Parabstruse it would have to be getting my music out there; those who take the time to listen. It's been rewarding knowing that others enjoy it, which I'm very grateful for. But writing the music, coming up with the song titles, making a finished product, talking to people who enjoy my music or even people in general who stop by, and other things are all moments that I truly love taking part in; something I hope to be doing for as long as I can.
