Knopf writes: "my music is of many worlds, in the sense of its being a distillation of experience. It is music of this world and also of the spiritual realm. Music, at times, comes from somewhere else. My hope is to speak through stylistic adaptations in an original way, to tap into the sense that transcends craft and thus communicate through the human spiritual reality."
