00:00A musical journey between emotion and spirituality, Roberto Cacciapaglia returns with the new
00:22album Time To Be, an invitation to reflect on our being, to find harmony and balance
00:28in a world that often pushes us to distraction and to do, do without stopping.
00:58All this is a very material vision.
01:01I think, instead, that it is much more interesting today to work on being, therefore being to grow,
01:10to mature, and music, let's say, is a means that can be very useful from this point of view.
01:18The ten tracks of the album mark a new direction in the music of the pianist and composer of
01:29international fame, who, after working for many years with large orchestras, in this
01:34new project chooses an essential training, piano, cello, electric cello and electronic
01:40tuning.
01:41It is a training with which I do many concerts around the world, apart from the orchestra,
01:50and another interesting thing is that it is an electronic that is not digital, so there are
01:58no artificial sounds, but it is an electronic that works with very sophisticated software
02:06that has the power to highlight acoustic sounds, let's say biological electronics,
02:11we could define it, which therefore works on the potential of acoustics, of the natural,
02:18respecting the nature of sound.
02:22All his works are born from silence.
02:27I don't make compositions that are inspired by an external vision, even if the titles are
02:33oceanic, atlantic, but in reality they are all referring to an essential nature.
02:39I start from that, because I think that art and music, let's talk about music, is an external
02:46manifestation of an inner state.
02:51Tradition and innovation coexist in the album, acoustic and electronic sound, as in Borderlands,
02:58in which Cacciapaglia addresses the current theme of going beyond the border.
03:03To go beyond the border, today we also see, not only in musical terms, what I mean,
03:08so I think it's an important theme today, I also refer to everything that happens
03:13at the borders of the various states, and what happens when there are conflicts,
03:19and then I think that these conflicts must be harmonized, as in music, and go into a
03:26confinement that is not hard, not hierarchical, but of openness, a very chaotic and superficial world.
03:36Music has this aspect of frequencies, that goes through everything, that we can discover,
03:42that is not entertainment.
03:46With his music, the composer manages to connect many people in the world.
03:51My audience is a very similar audience.
03:56I am almost amazed at the geographical, cultural, ethnic difference, how much these differences,
04:04in front of music, in front of something more, to a higher ideal, are completely replaced.
04:13They are all people who see in music a means, a tool of growth, of discovery,
04:19of something that we do not see. Music is invisible.
04:22And it is incredible how in China, in Russia, in America, people of different ages, different cultures,
04:27this thing, they all seem the same.
04:32In a few months, Cacciapaglia will make Time to be heard live to his audience,
04:37with dates in six Italian theaters that will allow to live an experience that goes beyond the simple concert.
04:44In my concerts, I make a note, a La, which is the source of the sound, the diapason,
04:49to the audience, to break down the divisions, because it should not be only in a single sense,
04:55from those who play to those who listen, but there can really be an exchange.
05:00And so this note fills the space.
05:03And I will do it, I am continuing in that sense, to become,
05:08to make the audience the protagonist, in a deep sense.
05:13Time to be heard
