Grotto of Secrets

It all started with a dream. I dreamed I had designed and directed a Cirque-Du-Soleil-esque show. The story focused on a young boy from a coal-mining village who decided to find and slay a legendary dragon after it razed his village to the ground. On the way, he adventured through fairy gardens, haunted deserts, and a secret, watery world, learning lessons of courage, resilience and hope. When I awoke, the soundtrack of my dream still echoed in my mind. I decided to transcribe what I could remember into a symphony. “Grotto of Secrets” comes from the water scenes, in which I recall floating in a turquoise lake, surrounded by crystalline droplets as the fish danced to the music around me. I have tried to capture the magic and suspense of the dream in this piece, and one day, I hope to create and perform the show.

To me, creativity is an expression of love and your deepest emotions. When I write music, I try to weave my thoughts, my experiences, and my emotions into every note. I want people to hear my music and feel in their heart the raw love that I pour into it.
