For me to be alive during your time making music is (I can’t find the words to express this properly) beyond magical, you capture the poignant experience of life with incredible honesty. In my humble opinion you are the greatest composer I have ever heard. I have not had the experience of being at one of your concerts, and can only imagine the rapport and frisson that takes place during one. You said in a recorded conversation that during them you receive the feed back you need. In this small space I am able to send you mine, with heartfelt thanks. “Ultimate Calm” too is my special time nightly in which I fall asleep. Thank you for sharing not just your compositions but allowing me a sense of your personal creative process, the musicians you admire, and the person who makes the music through your sensitive and delicate warm choice of spoken words too. I wish you every happiness and blessings in your personal married life. You are a most special soul emanating much needed kindness and goodness in a troubled world with grounded generosity and through your intensely dedicated hard work.
