Years of living and traveling throughout the Southwest; New
Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and beyond, have profoundly shaped my music
and my worldview. The mountains, the deserts, and that expansive Southwest sky
touch the soul, stirring something deep within that begs to be expressed. My
approach, which I call "impulse music," is intuitive and spontaneous,
arising from the spirit rather than from calculation or preconception. This
music is both ancient and immediate, flowing from timeless roots into the
present moment, connecting the past with what lies ahead.
The landscapes that inspire me, from the vibrant energy of
Santa Fe to the mystical rocks of Sedona, the rugged peaks around Ouray, and
the sacred expanse of the Valley of the Gods, are places where transformation
happens. Standing atop a mountain at sunrise or sunset, one feels the vastness
and possibility that the natural world offers. My goal is to translate that
experience into sound, sharing through my music a sense of wonder, openness,
and connection to something greater.
Beyond music, the Taos Winds Music website is a space for
deeper exploration. I am passionate about writing my thoughts and ponderings
that reflect the themes found in my videos, music, and of course my personal
ideology, articles that seek to understand what truly makes us tick. My writing
delves into the journey of self-discovery and the practices that help us
nourish our authentic selves. I believe that by tuning in to our inner impulses
and honoring our individual journeys, we can unlock meaning, creativity, and
fulfillment. Through these articles, I invite you to join me in exploring how
we can dial in to our core essence, fostering growth and authenticity as we
navigate life's path. Whether you come for the music or the musings, my hope is
that my Taos Winds site offers inspiration and insight for your own journey.
