"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." - Albert Einstein

I will never completely understand the composition of music. It doesn't mean that it can't bring me the greatest pleasure I've ever known in life. I'm so happy to witness the evolution of electronic music through many years, and I'm excited (and ever so curious) to see how it evolves further. 

Thanks to the producers who make it possible, and the DJs that bring it to life in another light. I can't thank all of you enough for the countless hours of listening pleasure, the shit-eating-grin that practically breaks my face, and the contentment that fills my mind and soul... Perfection does not come easy; however in music, I have found it's infinitely possible... Words cannot express my gratitude for your talents and that you share your gift with all who will listen… 

Thank you Sound Cloud for giving me a healthy addiction, despite your many f*cks up and flaws.

"Don't put off 'till tomorrow what you can listen to today.... If you must expect, expect nothing.... The instant we start trying to listen, our minds get in the way.... If you have to seek for the meaning behind the music, you'll never find it.... What a sad, boring universe if all music were the same.... Like life, each musical composition has a beginning, and an end. What truly matters is what we choose to do during the interval.... Emotions and thoughts beat in the heart, reside in the mind, die with the body. Transformed into music, emotions and thoughts echo in the heart, resonate in the mind, live on forever...." - John Ortiz, PhD (The Tao of Music)
