Technical skill and arrogant virtuosity stand together in one corner. The super-compressed Pro Tooled homogenized wasteland of pop stands in another. Fuck all that. Remember what music is really all about with songs that question whether or not the human race is truly capable of compassion, love, and empathy.
-- A conversation: Alberto R.S.: fuck it looks like one of those POT smoking who knows what we do today randevouz with friends when you are 16 and you have a little scooter Alberto R.S.: italy is full of those guys Alberto R.S.: I can feel it from the laughs Scrap: Very likely. Alberto R.S.: yeah not real friends, teenagers rough and united by smokin and other shit like let's go and dance, let's drink a lot, let's get those girls etc Scrap: There are far too many of them over here too. Alberto R.S.: yap Scrap: When all of that stuff is said and done, and there's no more left to unify them, they just disappear. Scrap: Real friends, like you and I, have so much more. Alberto R.S.: thanks man, that's good for the heart Alberto R.S.: I agree Alberto R.S.: those kinds of people are hard to see when they are not in their context..I mean who knows what those I know are doing right now..they really disappear Alberto R.S.: makes me think about a movie in which this guy is invisible because since he was a child noone was taking care about him Scrap: That had to be really hard, because as humans, we are always reaching out. Alberto R.S.: exactly Scrap: Sometimes you reach out and find nothing to grasp hold of you, sometimes you do and it's like a tower of energy. Scrap: Like the difference between night and an endless sunrise just peaking above the horizon. Alberto R.S.: ah very true Scrap: There's so few people out there who I can empathize with. Scrap: It seems like everyone is concerned about the current time, not the future, and then there are the cosmic matters. Scrap: I try to seek a deeper understanding of how people think and what they think about. Scrap: Sometimes for selfish reasons - I want to know if other people feel as I do. Scrap: So I don't feel alone. Scrap: Heh, I'm just babbling right now, so don't mind me. ;) Scrap: There are moments when you don't need to ask, like during quiet times, when two people can exist together and not say a word, yet feel complete comfort. Scrap: Silence among friends. Scrap: It's like being able to look through a wall and see another person. Scrap: Without any words or looking. Scrap: You know that they have the same fears, the same emotions, they are capable of all of that. Scrap: During times like those, I can really feel inspired and complete. Scrap: But I haven't felt much of that lately. Scrap: So I'm trying to reach out with my music. Scrap: It's like when you played the solo over the pad. Scrap: It's like the casting of the line into the sea. Scrap: You change the course of things. Scrap: And you never know what's it really going to be like until it's all said and done. Scrap: And that is the beauty of it. Scrap: The world is our canvas, our minds are the frame which accentuates the ever-evolving painting within. |
