Why the name Sound Sculptist

I think it was Clint Eastwood who said it "A man must know his strengths and his limitations", ok I think what he actually said in the movie was a Man must know his limitations but you get the gist :-)
I play keyboards, bass and guitars.... I will never be a virtuoso of any, I dont' even think I am a great/exceptional musician on any of these instruments. I probably could have been on keyboards and bass but I hate to practice. However what I think is that I am very competent on each but blessed with a fantastic imagination, and born a dreamer. What this has allowed me to do is hopefully use the instruments that I do play or have access to musicians who play and craft them all together to hopefully make a masterpiece or a great work of art. I think my imagination allows me to 'hear' stuff in my head that many if not most would not......and allows me to be very good in arranging and producing. Like a sculptor who would take mud or clay and uses his/her imagination to create a work of art. My goal is the same, to take elements of sound: music instruments, special effects etc and weave it all into a work of art, hopefully!!!!!! Sometimes *I* think I have succeeded, sometimes not!!!! :-)
