“I wanted to break all the barriers between classical, electronic, progressive metal, and jazz music.”
This album is a sort of self-imposed rite of passage encompassing all the performative and compositional aspirations I’ve had over the years. I was seeking challenges and I got them! The compositions themselves took many months to compose, arrange and notate, and came out of years of assimilating and amalgamating heterogeneous styles of music into a unique style that became the album “Cosmic Liberty.” And of course playing this suite of compositions required demanding pianistic training. I wanted to break all the barriers between classical, electronic, progressive metal, and jazz music, and I wanted to push my physical and mental limits.
