"Everybody is an island. We are all islands, encountering various other islands throughout our lives. A world or an island, made of musical language of trumpet and guitar.

Two islands conversing in different languages meet each other to make a new third language. Language not made of sound or image, or an organic world made up of both. It could be intact alone, but when these worlds come together, it is a place which creates another new language."
