“If we are to bring these influences into our music harmoniously, we must start from the same ONE, that “big bang” of beats that we, in our myriad ways, take as our cue in this dance. While we are here, briefly, our focus on our singular origin, and our interdependence, can bring a little more light into life while we live it. To focus on our separateness would be to do the opposite.” TIM GARLAND
