We are defined as musicians by how we play.
We are greatly influenced by what we hear, and by the tactile expression of an instrument.
We are ultimately set free by a transparency that separates us from everything but the act of creativity.

The Kronos is my definitive choice for writing, touring, or simply letting myself explore.
The tools are all there to aid and abet anything I want to do.

Imagination is served well by this extraordinary instrument.

The Kronos is a transformative experience.
