Variations 4 and 5 on Balkan Themes, op.60 by Amy Beach

The reason I create music is beyond my ability to explain. But If I try to dig into it, I think that my body and soul, been using music as a healing tool long before I can remember. I assume that my deep connection to music was born way before I was even aware of it. 
Over the years I have experienced life to its extreme, for the good and for the bad. Music has proven itself as a life saver, since it was the only way I could express my inner feelings and communicate with the world. When I finished my 3 years serving in the army, experiencing terrible fights and death, I felt that something got broken inside of me.
Music was there for me, even though I was not aware of the fact that I can actually use it to heal my soul.
In my music you can listen to all types of moods (love and happiness to the other side of pain and struggle. with pop, rock, reggae, electronic, experimental and even psychedelic and classical. 

I move between, instrumental music and song writing.

Gentle, evolving textures and pads colliding with woozy detuned vibes that suggest Boards of Canada demos left in the sun for too long.
