“To communicate is to give oneself, to share what one is and what one knows, for the common good, for humanity. To communicate, to give myself, to provoke.” (escrevologoexisto.com, August 2006)
I have always loved writing. It is a place where I feel at home. No performance required. Putting my heart on paper carefully controls my exposure and demands time for reflection before anything meaningful can surface.
In 2006, one of my journalism professors at the university invited us to create a blog. It quickly became an outlet for perspectives that had nowhere else to go, a space to explore a part of myself that somehow survived the time.
This year, escrevologoexisto.com turns twenty. So much depth and naivety living side by side. So much hope in life, in people. And love.
For a long time, I asked myself whether those experiences could become songs. But I am not a musician, and the question never went further. Then AI came as a new opportunity.
I had so many texts. So many experiences. And a clear sense of the feeling attached to each one. Why not try to build something from them?
That is how “Brucke” was born. A project to explore another dimension of who I am. Another fragment, the same way escrevologoexisto is.
This first album, ”Bridge,” is a collection of different songs, styles, and languages I started creating for fun, with the kids, at Christmas time last year. Each lyric carries a story, a moment, a relationship, a feeling.
But how much do they reveal about who I really am? How much are these songs a distillation of something far deeper? I don’t know.
What I know is that I now have something more to offer, something that only music can carry.
Another possibility to bridge experiences. To bring them to whomever they might touch.
I hope you enjoy some of them.
