Patrick Masalko
The first thing you might notice about Masalko’s music is its incredible diversity. The next thing you’ll notice is that, despite the diversity, a singularity for personality informs all his music. These are the marks of musical artistry. His “lyrical songs” – tunes featuring vocals – tend toward folk, pop and rock flavors while his instrumental compositions embrace cinematic flavors and jam structures.
Ultimate Human Expression
But whatever the style, Masalko believes on thing to be universal about music – its place at the pinnacle of man’s communication. “Music is the ultimate human expression to me.” He asserts that beauty is found in all music, no matter the style or mood. “Even the most depressing songs are the most beautiful to me. Music conveys emotions like confusion, happiness, sadness, anger and complacency.” According to Masalko, there is no greater experience than feeling music’s emotions coursing throughout the mind and body. And there are fans that could say the same thing about Masalko’s music.
Perfect
One reason, says Masalko, that music is the ultimate form of human communication is because, in his eyes, it is the perfect form. “Music is the perfect form of communication, even though it can be interpreted in so many ways. Music doesn’t lie or try to conceal its true meaning; it’s one of the purest things in the world.” And because of is respect for Masalko’s inherent honesty, he strives to be an honest songwriter, offering music straight from the heart.
