It
is on the ninth of September 1980 that my soul sparked into existence,
thrown into this life, this reality, this dream, from a chance
encounter, a loving connection, of two wonderful beings. Close to the
trees, to the sea, to history, I grew up modestly, comfortably. This
neutral childhood with its healthy dose of solitude led to
contemplation; contemplation of the World around me, of nature in all
of its creative glory and chaotic beauty. Feeling so close, like a
child of this wonder, I too, felt the need to be creative. The foolish
and innocent youth first took the pencils, in conformity, in
imitation, but a mother's love for music eventually took a hold of me,
not letting go. A culmination of circumstances wanted that the guitar
be my instrument of creation, my voice of unreason.
So I played. I played and I learned. And I played and I unconformed,
finding my own voice, with my fingers. I would accumulate much
instrumental material this way, echoes of my mind, reflections of life
snippets that kept rolling by. With much belief and dedication,
spurred forth from the loving appreciation and encouragement, I
created a first album, called 'Progression', as a mirror of part of
this life, like a picture album, in music, a storytelling of personal
evolution.
And now. Now what? Now comes the time of fusion, fusion of poetry and
music in song. This is my new adventure, another journey in discovery,
another attempt to understand, to seek a few notes, a few words that
may fit, maybe together, in the puzzle of explanation that can't be
completed otherwise. |
