More About Me
My Personal Creativity
Beyond my professional endeavors, I am constantly searching for new ideas to contribute to my own creativity.
As a musician, my fascination lies not just in melody or rhythm, but in the rich textures of the sound itself. It’s the fabric of woven tones and timbres that captivates me. I believe music has a profound ability to evoke complex emotions and tell stories, all without a single spoken word. The texture of sound offers a nuanced palette for communication beyond the conventional confines of language.
Photography offers me a contrasting canvas. Here, it’s the unnoticed details and textures that fascinate me alongside the emotions they evoke.
I have experimented with the written word too, and this may well be a main focus of my personal creativity in the future.
The Harmony of Diverse Sounds
My journey through music has been a voyage across a wide spectrum: from the multi-layered, intricate atmospheres of metal to the syncopated rhythms and exhuberance of of New Orleans funk and everything in between. This eclectic taste has sharpened my ability to discern and appreciate complexity and depth in all forms of creative expression and has has profoundly influenced my own work, instilling a penchant for experimentation and the courage to venture into the unexplored. This openness to diverse influences inspires a creative approach that values innovation and bold exploration. I have found that once tempered with the need for mass appeal, a nod to the less-explored can be very powerful.
Visual Storytelling: A Tapestry of Atmospheres
My affinity for film, particularly those genres that skew towards the speculative, mirrors my musical tastes in its diversity and depth. I am drawn to stories that captivate with their mystery and engage with their depth, crafting worlds that are simultaneously familiar and otherworldly. This fascination underscores my creative endeavors, pushing me to weave narratives that are as engaging and multidimensional as the plots of my favorite films. It’s about creating a tapestry of atmospheres in my work that invites exploration and discovery.
Imaginative Literature: The Fuel for Creativity
The boundless realms of speculative fiction, with their ability to twist the mundane into the extraordinary, have always fueled my imagination. They encourage a lateral thinking approach to creativity, where the impossible is merely a challenge to our perception. This love for the speculative extends into a fascination with the past and its narratives, allowing me to draw parallels and inspiration from the human experience across ages. Such a perspective enriches my creative process, enabling me to infuse projects with a sense of wonder and human experience.
Cultural Currents: Understanding the Zeitgeist
Observing and understanding the ebbs and flows of cultural trends is crucial to staying relevant and innovative in my work. The artistic outputs of our time, be it in music, film, or literature, reflects our society’s heartbeat. Recognising these patterns allows me to adapt and evolve my creative strategies, ensuring they resonate on a deeper, more meaningful level with the audience. It’s about harnessing the zeitgeist to inform and inspire fresh, impactful creations.
