I have a propensity for ponderous, resonant, and unfamiliar tonalities.

And while I certainly enjoy harmonic variety, I am likewise fully capable of embracing simpler, blues-based structures when they are presented in a more abstract context.

My focus isn’t so much melodic complexity as it is on abstraction. To my ear, most lyrical music comes across as obvious and contrived. I make exceptions for artists who explore stream-of-consciousness lyricism where language takes a back seat to rhythmic structure, and for groups like Cocteau Twins and Sigur Ros who invent their own languages.

Put simply: I seek out the abstract.
