“I'm interested in folk music because it's a form of musical expression that all people can relate to and participate in and contribute towards expressing it through each person’s unique voice. It has undergone a great deal of change because people are always tinkering with it, and changes made over the years tend to become integral to a song. Folk music is distinguished by its mix of individual composers working with the creativity of the masses. My vision is to bring musicians from diverse cultures together to explore new ideas and concepts, communally creating new vehicles of expression. I'd like to add to folk traditions by using my wandering melodies to bring together various elements, comparable or unrelated, in different cultures.”
