The interview

A couple of days ago I was on the phone attending to a journalist.

He wanted to write a piece about my new Bach album for the newspaper.

We delved into many topics such as Bach´s music, my career performing on two different instruments, my own music and compositional process, etc.

He was not aware of the amount of music I had produced and released in the last year and was impressed at the fact that my current Bach album is actually the 3rd full-length album I´ve published this year.

He asked me: “How do you find the time to do all of this?”

For me it´s very simple and also natural, my whole day is dedicated to my craft. If I´m not practicing, I´m composing, arranging, producing, recording, mixing, designing, analyzing, thinking…

“And when do you rest?” he asked.

“On my bed, at night. I sleep 7 hours and wake up ready to begin again,” I replied.

The only reason why I produce (and overproduce) so much is the amount of time I dedicate to it.

Is it healthy?

Absolutely.

But, everyone has a different way.

Some of the greatest artists in history were allegedly great procrastinators, such as Mozart or DaVinci, despite them being also some of the most prolific.

Others never seemed to rest, like Picasso or Bach, producing masterworks one after the other in very short spaces of time.

No matter what the routine is, for me, it is important to find a balance between feeling well in your body and mind, and always having that extra bit of challenge that excites you and keeps you healthily preoccupied with improving on something.

This is actually the greatest source of energy, it is what keeps us alive.

My new Bach album is almost sold out by now.

I´ll be selling it online only for a couple more days. If you wanted one and couldn´t get one yet, this is almost your last chance. Click here to buy it today (as you´ll see there´s also an offer to add an extra CD for 5€)

Have a nice day,

Claudio.
