Art/music often has meanings that the artist didn't intend however...not to
mention a different meaning for each listener, depending on his/her musical
background, life experiences, mood, etc.
Our first CD is a mix of drum'n'bass, ambient, and downtempo tracks combined
with live jazz improv. It covers a really wide range of styles, and I've found
that it gets a wide range of reactions from different people depending on what
they're used to listening to. And what does it mean? I'm not sure...after all,
if we could sum up the meaning in words there would be no need to make the
music...
I enjoy good writing about music because it suggests to me different ways of
interpreting the music. No one interpretation is necessarily right -- just
possible. But new possible interpretations can open our minds to new musical
possibilities as well.
