    I spend lots of time reading books about music these days. My goal is to become a better, more complete musican, to develop my skills beyond just my instrument, technique and music theory.

    Dear fans, dear lovers of music, for decades the music industry (including media and vendors) has worked tirelessly to break music and turn it into a commodity. It is the industry that has systematically eroded the public appreciation of music. It is the industry that has built up the idea that artists should generally starve…

    As a society, we are standing on the shoulders of giants. Were it not for what has happened in the past (not to forget mother nature’s marvellous evolution) we could not be and do what we are and are doing today. Of course that is also true of art.

    This is “Blood and Souls”. An album full of brutally intimate, intensely emotional music. Brutal and melodic, powerful and beautiful.
