I help people to smile and allow them to cry. I provide new -stimulating and refreshing- aesthetic experiences. I eliminate hate from people's hearts. Sometimes. I relieve pain from people's souls. Almost always. I provide consolation for unsolvable issues or cul-de-sacs. I strengthen people's belief in life. I reconnect people with their energy source. Or rather I try to. I dissolve mental and emotional blockades. I support humankind's trust in the future. If already available. I undermine humankind's trust in prejudice. I would love to write that I solve all problems of the world -both personal and interpersonal- but I don't. At most, I can indicate some of these problems before they explode. I point out society's contradictions. I enhance neuronal activity - through staging paradoxes. I improve people's understanding of other souls, of other cultures, of other sounds. I slow down the stress of everyday's life. I speed up people's aptitude for mental multitasking - through counterpoint. I produce the harmonization of antagonistic forces. I exemplify the engagement with an unstable vocation. I increase people's capability of correlating things and therefore -hopefully- their intelligence. I clean up my audience's ears. I cast doubt on listening habits - therefore coping with calcifying routine. I maintain people's awareness awake. I teach hundreds to do the same - through finding their own way of composing. I induce aha-experiences on people - what can lead to increase their confidence and competence. I make people spiritually richer. I show people that vigour and smoothness are not irreconcilable.
What does it mean that I am a composer?
And yes, I can live on that.
