After one of my concerts a person came up to me and told me how much he was impressed with the spectacle. Everything got his attention, not only because he like the event but more for the difference that it seemed for him as to when he see it on television.
Television and the computer screen have become our windows to the world, in addition to be a source of infinity events we can have, news or spectacles. Today, and thanks to the more present technology, we have an absolutely giant-sized access to everything a series of information and concepts through the different screens that populate our lives, that's to say, we attend all in a virtual way and amazingly we are getting used to it so that when we attend a live spectacle, everything produces a surprise on us even admiration because we are not accustomed to get things done in reality. And this more and more general current invades us completely; leading us even to have a valueless vision of what it is the real life.
Live concerts have a special and magical energy. In my work, the recordings acquire tones, they harvest many different textures but they lack of strength and the freshness of the here and now in front of the public. Certainly, we will not be able to express there with the same quality as in a recording, but we substitute it for that one-of-a-kind vitality and energy that makes everything be much more intense.
Somehow, our lives are getting to be a continuous going back and forth of more and more decaffeinated doings, as if we lived everything in third gear person, so when we experience something intense and in for real, we are shocked and surpasses us. We have to break that tendency and letting oneself be taken away for what really presses our chest.... It’s a challenge and to me, challenges, is what I like.
