I believe the tunes are journeys to airy, untouchable locations, looking like imaginary locations that I haveactually imagined priorto and now end up endingupbeing genuine, materialising in tunes. In addition to the mix I’m preparation to release an EP in the next coupleof months. I’d state it’s my journey into external area.”
