A tip for young musicians - whatever your practice routine, spend half hour a day playing along to your favourite songs regardless of genre, whatever you can do to fit in is fine, don’t judge yourself just play.

The problem with believing in genre categorisation is music becomes conceptualised as a ‘thing’ which houses ideas, an object existing within parameters of finitude. Our way, the way, is to see music as a vessel for the manifestation and nourishment of spirit and life energy

The industry is a construct, it’s important to understand how it functions so it doesn’t screw you and feed off your energy without reciprocation. Understand it isn’t the centre though it would have you believe it is. Music first! Practice, think, articulate your ideas clearly

in the absence of meaning art is reduced to techniques and ideas about the surfaces of things. depth is achieved by meaning. To give a thing meaning is to de-objectify it, to provide contextualisation to forms. Circles (of thought), not lines. Re-sacralisation of symbolism

Stand up straight, literally keep your head up, breathe in deeply, blow out without tensing lips and throat, bring the instrument to you, don’t contort around it. How to generate energy without tension, the answer will change your playing. Check yourself, look in the mirror.
