about

The album Marmara is my attempt to combine music, art and philosophy in a way that is both complex and approachable. A painting was created by artist Bob Newhart while listening to each track from the record and is featured on the cover art. Below are the liner notes from the physical CD, brief words in response to the courses I have taken in philosophy:

Marmara - Recollecting the powerful journey I had in Turkey; Marmara is the inland sea that connects the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.

Optimistic - From Radiohead’s album “Kid A”, inspired by Brad Mehldau’s innovative interpretations of popular music.

The Sage Passage Suite:

Part I: “The Sage” - probably Socrates, this piece is a meditation on the process of persistent questioning and the greater understanding that can be the result of it.

Part II: “Cartesian Reign Clouds” - An emotional reflection on western thought since Descartes and the idea that there is a separation of the mind from the physical world... that can be “solved” through the process of science.

Part III: “Critique” - The experience of realizing how much potential you have through analyzing the moments in which you fail; also, Kant’s “Critique of Pure Reason”.

Part IV: “Where Do We Go From Now?” - The ultimate question and the possibility that we have come full circle; creative and reflective inquiry leads to enlightenment. Perhaps this question remains continually relevant while life is a process of constant change?

Double-Plaid - A blues about all the interesting comments I have received while wearing plaid shoes, shorts and shirts at the same time.
