Music and Spirit

We were recently contacted by Justin St. Vincent. He has started a site which asks one simple question?

"What do you believe is the spiritual significance of music?"
-----------
I believe art and music are a chance to speak truth. It is the common language of souls around the world and binds us all regardless of religious traditions or upbringing or intellectual understanding. As a composer, music is a personal revelation. A revelation of choice, and love and something in the universe greater than self.

I am especially drawn the power of instrumental music. It frees us from the world of duplicity. Words and concepts. It allows a brief chance to venture beyond intellect. Music is present in the now. In the act of it's creation and performance, the moment is savored. Tomorrow is unimportant.

Music is a gift.
