    Music manifests through vibrations which change our experience of a given moment causing joy, pleasure, happiness. And yet, all the way through the making of this album, I returned to a sense of making something physical. Cobbling shoes was the enduring and somehow comforting image that carried me through the process. And so this CD is a physical object. For me, it's proof that it really happened. Some people, like me, want some sort of physical connection with the music they are listening to. If you are one of those people, this option is for you.

Just to let you all know, I've finally arrived and I'm here to stay... ... more
