Liberation
When I peel away all the layers of intention behind what I think I'm doing with composition - or performance - it all really boils down to liberation. That's what music is for me. Being able to funnel whatever emotion or idea is occuring thru the bass and make it sound alive - in that moment. That's liberation.
I'm sure I'll have more to say about this later - but it's something I've been spending a great deal of time thinking about and experimenting with - both musically and conceptually.
