What is something that is always with you?

“Imagine this. You are in the metro station doing the random things you do there, and you hear a sound. It could be anything. A sound of a coin, someone’s shoes, or a random alarm.

A simple beep is enough to get me started.

I register the sound and repeat it in my head until I find a rythem for it.

Sometimes the rythem comes right away, other times I need more focus.

It is so natural and I can’t fight it.

This is how we made most of the songs. They all started from a random sound and then turned into songs…”

Gerardo told me this story last night. A beautiful way of explaining something that is always with you.

Like an instinct.

Your soul and mind are aligned.

A talent or a skill you are so natural at.

What do you do after you find a rhythm? I asked him.

I take my phone, and I record the notes out loud. It doesn’t matter where I am, how noisy it is, or who is around me. I must let it out at that second, or I will lose it.

Then I send it to my band.

We have a Whatsapp group where we constantly send voice messages of rhythms and sounds…
