I feel compelled to explore musical spaces that are far removed from the noise rock milieu. By looping sinuous sounds and droning notes with the help of a digital delay pedal, a super-shifter pedal, and an e-bow, I find I can create multifaceted aural textures that work directly with the right hemisphere of the brain. For years I was concerned with creating music that piqued the interest of left hemisphere deconstructionists and analysts, but now I am more interested in touching the intuitive in the listener. Sadly, the intuitive is what is denied, eschewed, rejected, and ostracized this day and age. The left hemisphere has taken over like a wrathful despot, and is wreaking havoc on all aspects of the world. The musical gestalt--the whole sonic spectrum of vibration, light, and form--has become clouded over by a left hemisphere that is trying to pull away from the whole just so it can live on a marooned island of abstraction. Creating "intuitive music" will help people find insight in internal spaces previously unexplored. It will also help create a balance between the hemispheres.
