In special rare moments when just the right elements are combined into an imaginary mental potion, they bubble and react, sparking a vision of something new, in this case, the character Kinthrel, a lonely sea sprite who strums his handmade harp in craggy tidal caves. This piece is one of several recent works that I consider Neo-Symbolist in nature, in which I have aimed to lean more heavily into synesthesia and my subconscious to draw out the mysterious, intuitive connections between things and to musically bottle the essences that live behind these connections.
