This is the opening human,
and creative philosophy–
Music moves us like no other.
This is being.
This sustains a creative tension–
the spiritual background of childhood–
raised in bucolic place,
dirt roads insects gardens.
Wonderful trees passed away
when I was young.
By the time I was eleven
I went into a spiritual crisis:
From early life you grew up listening.
My father would stop shaving
to finish a phrase of the tango.
I was an advocate of identity
felt it important to show who I am.
Tango was going to come
into my life, I just had to wait.
Tango taps into such passion:
you have to have lived.
I decided to explore.
This is being.
Tango will say a little more
about that root
of your identity, I think–
articulate things–
use of silence and space.
You heard the silence.
It’s all those spaces you know.
I love that moment when
you’re suspended–
silence
–between the space
of two notes.
something that comes
from within.
You don’t really know who
is doing it, but it is
connection beyond
understanding.
It’s really hard to talk
about the moment I am,
creating and confronted with
whatever comes out of my hands.
It’s something
that connects with my heart.
To make that leap, we don’t
always have access.
Being, being
continues in a moment.
This is being.
Music becomes
a part of the fabric,
something that connects
with the heartbeat, has power
to steer your emotions–
has power to transform you.
Music does this.
This is being.
