All my friends the time is now let's go do it let's go trust the guide and glide around in a beautiful psychedelic world of music with the great Matthew David.

How do you think about music in terms of bringing an idea something that comes to you how do you take that idea and then turn that into something kind of what's the journey in the process of that.

I mean are you talking about channeling oftentimes people use the idea or concept of channeling to describe this translation from the ether to

I guess physical realm or passing through technology to enable for it to be audible yeah channeling I think.

Cool so you asked me a question and told me your answer I like that you said that's really that's good that's my that might be how this goes.

Yeah that would make me really happy so that's cool so you think about it in terms of channeling now how how literal and how kind of metaphorical do you tend to think on that.

Yeah maybe more metaphorical I just like that kind of concept sort of deriving inspiration from something intangible and a lot of the time unexplainable.

Wow I mean everyone guess I guess has our own journey or idea definition or ways of going about the channeling right kind of culling from some sort of influential impulse.
