THIS drives us forward

Emotion is the engine of humanity.

Art is an important component of the engine.

And music, well, music is one of the most potent energy sources it can get.

It’s been 20 years since I’ve been playing the bandoneon. Exactly 20 years. I bought my first one in 2003 when I was 20 years old.

So now you know my age… still very young. But highly experienced.

Throughout my life, I’ve lived through many things. Terrorism. Bullying. Criminality. All sorts of abuse. Lack of means. Hunger. Cold. Deception. Divorce. And I could go on and on.

Something of my choice has remained a constant thing in my life though. It has been music.

Music has saved me even from the toughest moments when nothing seemed to make sense.

Every now and then the feeling still tries to make way, but I’m strong now. I am familiar with the feeling, and I know how to accept it and walk away from it.

I´m sharing a bit of intimacy with you today in my post. The reason is that today I have released a new piece of music called “Íntimo” into the world.

Íntimo (which translates to intimate as you might have guessed) is a piece I wrote two years ago, and it was meant to be included in my album Incandessence.

But at the moment, I thought two things of it: it was too “simple”, and it was also too emotional. Therefore I desisted from including it and it has remained a “secret” piece, until today.

There’s something about that piece that in its simplicity describes all the painful feelings that have challenged me throughout my life. And that I’ve fortunately overcome, thanks to persistence, and to music.

I´m sure everyone will relate, since a life without pain simply doesn´t exist. And we all find our own tools to overcome it.

I´d love for you to listen to this newly released piece, and hope it can help soothe any troubles you might be going through or just to simply enjoy it. After all, it’s just simple music…

This is just one of the many releases I’m doing this year in which I´m celebrating 20 years of playing my second instrument, the bandoneon. So you’ll be hearing more new music from me, sooner than you might expect.

Have a great day.

Claudio.
