Theme
The world the site is drawn in. The content stays the same.

Style

Colour
In place of the style's accent, in every theme. Deeper by day, softer by night.

What They Said
Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that is creativity.
In my music, I'm trying to play the truth of what I am. The reason it's difficult is because I'm changing all the time.
Let my children have music! Let them hear live music. Not noise.
