Good afternoon everyone
there is a very recurrent question and that
always arouses curiosity among the
people who see and that question is like
a dream announced as dreams in white
and black or in color like that friend I
have asked several times in order
to start you can tell us that nobody
can dream of what has not
visualized or at least with those
that has not felt with which a
person who has never seen any color
can barely dream of colors sounds and
sensations and other expressions
visuals of an environment
in my case I had great good luck
of having been able to know the colors of
child although they were only the colors more
basic
Actually, I’ve been trying for years
someone explain to me how is the color
fuchsia
there is no way
well my contact with music started
8 years at the school where I started
my formal studies
we are talking about the 70’s in the
city of belo capital city skyline
state of minas gerais in brazil and
Brazil at that time was a country
pretty closed but nevertheless this
school was really interesting because
there in addition to the typical teaching
theory classes will also be taught
musical piano flute guitar
of accordion trumpet was amazing
very interesting and a day in a hall
from school
I heard a sound
solid
[Music]
this solid and he had heard before
[Music]
and I was so shocked that I stayed
behind the door
listening and when the class was finished was
a work class 10 about 15
girls and boys starting to solfear the
first notes and when the class finished
went to talk to the teacher and
question this is a music class and
he told me without very austere teacher and
I said ah because I’m in
I’m going to point to that sound was the one
He took me to study music and in my
first classes of musical theory of
sol-fa
I started to have the unconscious tendency
to associate every musical note that
I was listening to some of the few colors
I knew
in fact I think that this is a
trend that also exists between
many musicians who see because so many
years later doing a survey one
small informal survey well between
colleagues
Many have told me that they too
they make associations between musical notes
and colors already among the blind musicians
totals that have never seen anything
I think there’s also some kind of
association but it’s rather it would be
between a musical note and its kind of
vibration
but I want to make it clear that this is only
an assumption on my part
in my case I started to associate it
annotated to the yellow color
the network to dark yellow
he me to the area the fa rose the sun with the
orange the lag with the white and the yes with
the dark blue
that way in this way the chords
which are groups of notes that you are with
Simon had mind they also started to
bounce in my head like being mixtures
of colors for example a finger chord
greater that is made up of the bushes I do not
he wanted me to remember in my head he started
to bounce as if it were a mixture between
the yellow of the dow
the blue of me and he drives from the sun and so
I went and the following year when he was
nine years I started to feel like
study some musical instrument and the
The first one I chose was the
viana
but of course it was an attempt that lasted very
little because at the end of the first class
I realized what I hate not the teacher
he gave me exercises to practice and
I clearly had no plan at home or
I could take you mentioned home school
whereupon the thing remained but
good my big brother
I had a guitar then I thought good
I could try the guitar but he
another problem arises and now that my
fingers were too small to
grab the mast have grown a bit
then I started thinking about the way
to get to grab the mast with the
small hand that I had and I started too
instinctively associate positions
of the fingers on the mast with figures
geometric
I think she has been a very good student
of mathematics but the figures always
I have found interesting
so that for example is
chord that the second major with 7a
the musicians we call se n 7 be in agreement
having that structure here
of those three fingers set so
half semicircular began to suggest me
a semicircle or this other agreement that
so response
7th reset network 7 the musicians we call 17
This agreement is composed of
simple the cheeks when you with a
only finger covers all the strings of the
guitar or almost all
this agreement has this simple and these
two of the posts so in such a way that
this started to suggest a straight line and
a large square and so continue with
these associations
to such an extent that I pretty much
I invented a way a bit like
to type the chords and this is
something that after my teachers were
able to correct there was no way
and they told me but this agreement is not
monta assigned an amount like that for example
almost all the musicians on the planet all
heaps remember domaio
A) Yes
with those three cities whose amount so
for those three or this other agreement that is
a greater almost all the musicians of
world also they ride it like this I think
difficult is the motorcycle like that and that was
until today
even today when many years already
have happened today when I have to
play a very long sequence and chords
It happens very often that many times
I think before the figure has the court
himself and in his role in music that
I’m playing good it’s clear that I
I have to know what else I’m going to play and
that musiké function has but it happens very
often I think before in the figure
Of course, it lasts a few milliseconds
but I think before the figure and then
in the agreement so with these
partnerships
what I want to reinforce here is the power
of imagination when creating
create whatever
in the case of artistic creation
musical
I believe that imagination is so
powerful that should already should
always overcome knowledge
technical
clear that music is a language is a
language and everyone who wants
dedicate to her in a professional manner
has of course to control that
finish this language but I think that
this technical knowledge can never
come before or never should serve as
barrier to expressiveness or to the
creativity in such a way that the
imagination and it serves to create and also
to change if we realize all
the objects that we have in our world
physical
have existed before in the imagination of
someone someone has imagined them
then or this same person or another has
designed
and then other people people have
manufactured but every object that we have
in the world has existed before in the
someone’s imagination so the
imagination creates and changes my trajectory
personal
It can also be a small example of
this I think I remember that at 45
I told my mother that I wanted to be
musician and who wanted to play in europe
Obviously I had no idea
where is Europe but the fact is
that after a few decades
here I am fulfilling what my
imagination of boy dictated in that
moment so I believe and this is my
final message I think that if one is capable
to correctly address the
imagination
each one of us can find
inside himself
the tools to change your own
reality
thank you very much
[Applause]
[Music]
and to finish to finish I want
share with you
an example a song that is pure
imagination
all the songs are but this one what
it’s especially because it was a song
that was entirely composed without having a
guitar in front of and inside an airplane
it had never happened to me before
that was in the year 2012
I was returning from a trip a very long tour
he had done for japan and had
in front a flight between tokyo and paris
those who have made this trip know that
It’s a very long flight of about 13 hours
are those flights where you sit there
take a wine does not serve you food or
dinner then it’s a movie what
you listen to music then you think about your life
then you think of the galaxies the
planets and when I looked at the clock that
Not six hours to get there
[Music]
and those were me and in the six hours
what was left
I started to direct to direct the
imagination towards a topic that came to me
hanging around a song that came to me
been around for a few days and it was
recording everything bit by bit
short on the mobile because we are
asleep on the plane and now let’s see
if they are going to wake up, they are going to
fi plane and he was recording it little by little and
the fact is that when I got off the plane in
Paris
the subject was entirely terminal
lyrics and melody arrangement introduction and
is the one that I want to share with you
it’s called samba na terceira there
[Music]
if it happened to me so that cicatrice zara
phillips who uses bear to weigh
bell uh

a goal of dani of august and byrd and the
stupid promises ni and may
