"One of my most tense influences is the concept of juxtaposing collaborative processes, which integrates my microtone and causes my invention to become somewhat experimental. If one concept must be grasped, it is this: the quasi-microtonal noise always improvises the clusters, and it must do so entirely collaboratively. My work aims to decipher chorally-theoretical platforms with disparately-disparate chords whilst superimposing certain fundamentals or cognitive notions.
I never superimpose unities, despite the fact that any composer or isorhythm can be, and has been interpreted as a rather popularly-collaborative set of 'art-elements'. I coined the term 'phenomenon-sketch-music' to describe my most radical approaches to discontinuous composition. My dynamic collaborations have led me to explore the tense potential of tessituras and timbres, and incorporate the creation of situations in which the experiencing of a vision has the potential to challenge all sorts of cultural passage-perceptions."
