Interview:

Music: my drug, my pain, my relief, and sometimes my mood. How could music not be more spiritual? It is mathematic in it’s purest form. How could music be closer to the spirit than mathematics? God is a number. The Devil is old and so is music. How wise is it letting go in the music by it’s grace, fury, and intensity. There is no heavy music, there is just the right music for you. I feel to be in the hand of Him when I let myself go in the music: the cause and effect. The spirit can be humiliated and discouraged. I want to go deep inside this wound, go beyond barriers and boundaries, to see and feel music melodies directly in my guts. I want and I need the disturbing shriek! There is not just one or more rational definition in my consideration about music. Actually, music is almost like sexuality as being completely irrational. Sex, death, music, eros, Thanatos, love, and war will never stop cause they are all sexual like music. Our time is like a song with a beginning and a crescendo until the end. Living without spirituality is a choice of enslavement. Living without music is missing out a meaning of our existence.
