Music may be the language of the soul embedded in a sonic reality, but at honestsss the priority is the soul, not the construction of the world. Therefore, honestsss musical works are guided by the following principles:
- Content over form – usually the content of the melody (imposes the interpretation of the content), so it should be kept to a minimum.
- Aesthetic shock – the human soul is by nature repulsive because it is distant from God, which is why the sincere ugliness of works is recommended.
- Story – music as a language, is supposed to tell a story. honestsss songs should be composed as an internal dialogue of the artist with his experiences, fears, dreams, suffering, conscience… or… his relationships with angels and/or demons.

Methodology:
Main method in the Soul Sounds Stories genre (you can read manifest here) is to create music so spontanously as it is possible. Each incidental sound should be join without overt intention. I discover that when I order sounds in this method – I can find many emotions from my life.
