How are you living the quarantine? Fears and dreams?

I’ll be honest: it’s more or less always the same daily routine. Walking the dogs in the morning then studio time until lunch. Back to the studio, another walk with the dogs and then dinner. Maybe a movie after that. Now I share my studio with my girlfriend and my walks are shorter than ever, I don’t have pizzas with friends or a beer and I don’t have any gigs in the weekend but I think I can handle this for a while. No fear or dreams right now. Perception of time has changed and I’m enjoying this. Our fast relationships with people and media are facing the same routines, places and events day by day and I like to see how people challenge this process. Too much people spent their first weeks trying to see what will be after this mess, I read a lot of articles saying how the world will change but I think it’s too early. I will rather be honest with myself and enjoying this weird moment. Will be great to come back, as a society, with good willing and focus more on new challenges like climate change or sickest aspects of the different business but I’m not 100% sure it will happen.

 

What is your soundtrack?

Since I’m the whole day in the studio making music I’m not listening to a lot of music right now, I would say Sixteen Oceans by Four Tet, Union Integration of the Shadow by Sonny. Instead, I read a lot of books (or listen to): L’Amica Geniale by Elena Ferrante, Quando siete felici fateci caso by Kurt Vonnegut, God Saves Texas by Lawrence Wright, Questa è l’America by Francesco Costa, Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari.
