One simple idea

can grow into a jaw-dropping musical journey.

There’s power in simplicity. Like the Jaws theme. The Inception “BRAAAM.” Or the piano from Up. To take something ordinary and make it extraordinary—that’s the art of storytelling.

It all depends on where we go, how we get there, and what we take away.
