Music is in the air...

I make music with whatever I find around me. If I lived in the Pole, I would make music with ice; if I played guitar, I would make music for my guitar. Whatever the conditions, the latitudes, the financial possibilities, there is always music to be made. 
When art is in dialogue with their context, with the possibilities of realization, with the real questions of a community, it is powerful, meaningful, and beautiful. Otherwise, the music reflects other realities, echoes different historical times, other people's concerns, or small career issues. 
Music that doesn't belong to us, belongs to someone else; and it is usually conservative, even if it claims otherwise.
