Welcome to Artists, a public journal about my journey building a global artistic venture.

I should probably be studying for my midterm happening tomorrow.
But I have a concept I really want to share that’s been THE core guiding philosophy of the music and films I create and the adventures that I go on.
On a purely artistic front, I’m a composer of the world, creating soundtracks and films of my travels in different cities, countries, and places.
But what often goes unnoticed is how much a geographical sense of the world plays into the art and music I create.
In fact, it’s central to what I do (and why I love to travel + study geography).1
Every country, every city, every place has a soul.
What I do is capture this soul on a deep emotional level and turn that into art.
The art, then, is a reflection of my emotional attachment to a particular geographical place. It’s a beautiful binding of souls.
No place is ever the same, and that’s the beauty of travel.
One of my favorite writers is Dan Wang, an expert on contemporary China. In a recent interview with another one of my favorite writers, David Perell, he said:
“Travel is one of the very best ways to experience the world.”
I’ll personally add on to that: “Travel is one of the very best ways not only to experience the world, but to inspire, create, and give birth to great art.”
This is why I’ll never run out of musical ideas. When the world is your canvas, the amount of art one can create is limitless.
Here’s the update on where we’re at for “The Great China Adventure:”
We’re 31 compositions and ~1 hour 45 minutes into the film. The best part of it all? This will be premiering before the end of the year, so stay tuned :).
This is the essence of Musinary:
Where cinematic composing, filmmaking, and adventure meet.
Be musinary,
1 Not the vacation type of travel, but the type of travel where you spend ~2-3 months in a city or country and have the space to wander, talk to locals, and viscerally experience what it would be like living there.
