For me, composition is the act of bringing the soul’s subjective reality into the material world.

​

Much of my work is inspired by sacred texts, reflecting my belief that music connects us to a realm beyond words—a reality deeper than human understanding of existence. While music is not a religion, it serves as a powerful instrument for re-connection (religare), fulfilling its highest purpose.

​

My journey in composition has been shaped by the teachings of remarkable mentors. During my master’s studies at KU-Leuven in Belgium, I learned deeply from Luc Van Hove. Outside the academic world, I’ve been profoundly influenced by masters like Egberto Gismonti and Antonio Guerreiro, whose insights continue to guide my creative path.
