RICHARD BARBIERI, A musician just for the few.......
Art and music just for the few, that kind of statement applies very well in most of my musical and artistical tastes. I have been listening Richard Barbieri's music for more than 30 years and for me is so natural his way of doing music that i sometimes lost perspective on what other people regard as "trendy". As a matter of fact I was never much interested in trendy ways. I can tell that basically since i left elementary school I started to be really interested in new ways of artistic expression beyond what I already knew and heard at home and amongst family friends. My really first big musical hero was the greek musician and composer VANGELIS, and since then, i can't just listen music in a superficial way. As I grow older I am less and less inclined to be virulent about art in general, i tend to listen more pop-culture oriented bands without feeling pangs of disgust in my stomach but i will always hate lady gaga shit or madonna or christina aguilera (i really hate such a big stupidity) or anybody like them for the case. I can listen ne3w music because there are tons of great new ideas and virtuosity in new technological ways, so unsespected when i was a child but through the years, my biggest pleasure have always been to be so deeply interested in people like RICHARD BARBIERI, RYUICHI SAKAMOTO (a very similar kind of musician although with different approaches to composition), BRIAN ENO, JAPAN , NO MAN, MICK KARN, DAVID SYLVIAN, ROBERT FRIPP, KITARO, POPOL VUH, MAGMA, RICK WAKEMAN, GENESIS, PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI, FRED FRITH, PHILIP GLASS, JON ANDERSON, and all sorts of atmospheric, progressive, classical trained musicians that make music a little less boring.
