About the music
Music “speaks all languages” like Holy Spirit does. And music is a universal language. So, I think music is an expression of holy spirit. Music gives us the possibility to feel brothers each other. Indeed, music can increase our goodness. Usually, I compose to try give myself this goodness feeling. And I hope my music can give the same to other people.
