All Profound things, and emotions of things are preceded and attended by Silence... Silence is the general consecration of the universe.

I want my music to be something that people use in order to access parts of themselves. So in that sense, every piece I write is about all emotions at once, about the lines in between.

So yes, it's about something, and it has a use. It's neither about nothing nor about something concrete - it's about what you bring to it as a listener.
