In early November I was in Tenerife.
Behind I was four months spent wandering through France and Spain, with a backpack, a tent, but, above all, a guitar.
When I arrived in Lyon at the beginning of my journey (I pare fossero i primi di luglio), non avevo alcuna certezza riguardo al fatto che avrei potuto vivere di musica cosi' a lungo, per di più viaggiando tra alcune delle più belle città d'Europa.
E invece, quattro mesi dopo, dopo aver vissuto con una chitarra e un cappello per le strade di Lione, Ardeche, Montpellier, Perpignan, Vic, Barcellona, Tarragona, Valencia, Madrid e Tenerife, ero arrivato ad una consapevolezza del tutto nuova, grande e bellissima: se si vuole, ognuno attraverso il proprio percorso, si può vivere della propria passione.
Se io voglio, posso vivere di musica.
Con questo non intendo dire il successo, la fama, la televisione.
Semplicemente che non c'è motivo per non investire nella propria passione, perchè chi lo fa con coerenza, con verità, con impegno, non avrà bisogno di altro.
Ed ecco allora che i giorni a El Medano, nel sud di Tenerife, nonostante il sole, la spiaggia e il clima estivo, cominciavano a "pesare".
Adesso avevo in mano una consapevolezza nuova e avevo bisogno non solo di condividerla, ma anche di lavorarci con maggiore impegno e organizzazione. E sentivo che c'era un solo luogo dove avrei potuto farlo. Casa.
Here is the return to Milan and the consequent desire to start sharing with other musicians and acquired through this long journey.
The findings were immediately and so many positives. And the realization that what I had done was actually a project of many, was born the desire to open a free music site, which could be not only new life into the live music scene in Milan, but also and above all, a network able to create connections among musicians, even different cities. In short, a musical collective, able to expand their horizons.
The collective The Great Wallendas music and the arts (http://thegreatwallendas.blogspot.com) was officially opened November 26, 2010, and in just over one month old was able to organize four live nights, which were presented in various musical projects, which were in turn twisted, with the collaboration of many artists (in chronological order): Roberto Flammini, Claudia Maltoni, Mirko Emmanuel, Alessandro Capaldo, Ubertone Marcello, Alessandro Mimy, Bart, Deborah Franks and myself, Matt Only.
This beginning so 'full of stimuli we charge for the new year, which are already planned collaborations with musicians from Bologna, Turin, Rome, Catania, as well as Lyon, Madrid e. .. Russia!
The first weeks of January will be devoted to preparation for new shows, where we will continue to mix our music with other art forms like theater and photography. Soon after we return live with our live show, so ... stay tuned! ;-)
We take this opportunity to express deep gratitude to all those who have followed us this far and we renew the invitation is open to all, to participate actively in our collective, presenting their art project (you can write to controscena@gmail.com).
that the horizons of all of us never stop to grow. Happy 2011 to everyone!
Matte
