"We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies–all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes."
Aldous Huxley
The Doors of Perception
lyrics
I say, you say, we say
But we never really say

We know and long for as if we never knew
I try to understand, such a willing desire to
We both know I can't
Do you resent me for that?
Our galaxies, our universes are loving together, being together
Together we're alone
The words to explain are lost in the waxing and waning of a tidal song
I'm suffering from mysterium tremendum
All this
Is

His music, whimsical, dreamy, but also thoughtful. His vocals are winding circles of light making their way to the stratosphere. My mind follows wondering what he means. All who wonder are not lost? Faerytale Music
One of the most active Ambient Artists I've ever met. He explores every kind of thought and feeling in his work from horror to meditative. His works are a treasure trove of sound! Faerytale Music
