L’inventore di macchine musicali | Paolo Schianchi | TEDxTiburtino


[Music]

good evening to all and happy party to all

women

when I was very young I always have

found the walls of the house rather

narrow and I understood very early that with

music through music I would have

could have crossed those walls and

to travel

a few years later it really happened

because during adolescence

I decided to run away from home and to do

the experience of the street musician for

a couple of months let’s say I lived in the

coins that people threw into the

custody of my instrument was

a beautiful experience was in ireland

the rest street that the road at least

were the times the most famous street for

street musicians however the thing that

I’m very interested to tell you this is this

something very interesting always

thanks to the magic of the music that was

happened just before when I was just

so small before leaving

physically at home and go to discover

the world and this is the speech I have

discovered that it was possible to break them down

walls of the house and travel with the mind and

with the heart and soul thanks to the

music because this is the music there

allows you to do and this appearance in

reality is not just about music

but of something I’d like to talk to you about

tonight and that is the dreams of the dream the

dream is perhaps the most important thing

that exists in our lives and often

we think of the dream as something

impalpable of non concrete

abstract when in fact very often

it is one of the most concrete things that there

may be in a person’s life

this is because a dream to be such

something that is built day by day

day is not something that almost does not

it exists or does not exist is suddenly

it lurks so without sports ideas

it becomes reality

in fact, sorry for the game of

words the dream the real one can be

something that becomes reality and this

it happens as I said day by day

with a daily job with a vision

with an idea and a tireless job

with courage and the first thing to do is

as in a journey out of one’s own

with force

that is, from its own from the area in which there

we feel at ease and dare to put ourselves

on the move, starting often leave with a

project with anything is the thing

harder

among other things, I have a few nights in

white to prepare for my departure

a few minutes and knows what I’m talking about but

even in life often starting the

more difficult because it means

even winning one’s fears means

so we win the fears ourselves

actually something that can

to block

but also it must be said if they did not exist

there would be courage and just with the

courage we must try to pursue

these our dreams and why this

actually, there are a couple of

things that are very important to say

the first of the just said is to have the

dare to take the first step

out of this comfort I am

the second is to have a big one

determination of course not even

in the darkest moments

never ever never stop ever get caught

from discouragement and we say and this is

clearly possible only and only

with a great willpower all

the most beautiful things as human beings that

they have been created in the most diverse worlds

from artistic to technological ones

creatives have been everything is possible

with great determination

what I like to call a

fierce desire this fierce desire

it is the same as an image that could

let’s say take what it does even to

a seedling a slender seedling

the asphalt is to make a breach through

the cement this is a force that has the

nature is that even within us and

this same force is precisely that

as I said it brings us slowly

when we have a vision when

we have an idea of ​​something in this

sense a dream something that still does not

there is but there may be this is the

that is to say, in the end, with that

almost daily small work

imperceptible we find ourselves in time a

slowly move the limit of that

that is possible

and looking good at what is possible

at that moment really then to the

end if you think about it we are

simply building this dream

now there are wonderful cases and

also beautiful mottos or one of the motions that

I love more on that of enzo ferrari

that said one of the Italians more

perhaps most famous celebrated would be

abroad that said if you can dream it

you can do it

I discovered then that it was the same

identical bike that had walt disney and

I do not think it’s a coincidence because

they have lives different stories but their own

because they shared the same

philosophy the same vision of the world e

in their case their own blacklist

the most evident demonstration and this

willpower transforms ours

limits

the obstacles we find during the

our days our life in

our trying to do something good

transforms these same limits

we approach the right way in

opportunities to go further for

transform what is a problem into

something that makes us think outside

schemes makes us find solutions that

otherwise maybe we would not even have

I could think so it’s not like yes

says the whole sea is not all of it

evil comes to harm is not said

sorry this is the point and then me

comes to mind I do not know one of the most

great guitarists never existed that has

upset innovated so much in the world

of my instrument and django reinhardt that

during an accident he unfortunately had

injured in the hand and is found to have to

play with only two fingers of the hand

left is a huge limitation

yet he found a way to play that

he really did school or what he did

i know in the automotive field me comes in

mind clouds that maybe finding themselves

even without the possibility of

use the steering wheel for maybe a

thanksgiving was able to finish the

race and win it with a wrench

using it as a steering wheel to do it

become a true legend but

the point is precisely this courage

to leave and to dare and not to stop

now in my very small in mine

my tiny little story

let’s say the first challenge in this

route won or if you prefer the first one

little realized dream is called

octopus octopus is a system that is

patented electro-acoustic state in

reality is quite voluminous

to try and give you a weighty image

about 230 kilos like a piano a

queue roughly

and it would not even be on this one

beautiful stage of course they are

very happy to be here and honored but

the point is that this system allows

a single performer to play more than

a guitar even simultaneously and

extrapolate sounds very ways

details manipulating them in real time

completely live starting from

vibration of the rope

you know we say this a guitarist

when they are with the traditional technique

uses four fingers with which he makes notes

and those others with the other hand pinches

it realizes the sounds but let ‘s say the idea of

try to go beyond one

limitation that is part of our doing

music as instrumentalists was one

of the causes that gave birth to this

system is fine this system like

I said allows a single interpreter of

play live even more than the

instrument manipulating the sound even with

not just with your hands but with others

limbs the feet and even to the mouth though

so perhaps better to give you an idea

what is it and see it and then a

taste of 60 seconds with this

infamous octopus

music is an art that takes place in the

time our canvas is the time maybe

painting sculpture has other others

raw materials to be shaped but we have

this and is therefore in effect in this

makes it perhaps even a little impalpable

like the idea of ​​dream in the unconscious

collective that we always have when

we talk about dreams but at the same time

as in the myth of orpheus and Eurydice us

we can never stop to turn around

back because if we stopped there

it would interrupt the time that is one

fundamental part of music and yes

it would completely break the magic of

music itself

this exactly as in life does not

we can never stop we must yes

live present but always trying to

look towards projected towards the

our future towards the future, in short

so look forward to looking over it

something very important in mine

world that of music and this

appearance is so important that certain

sometimes it makes it possible to understand some things

of making music

I’ll give you a small example myself

it happens to be dealing with students

that at one point a beautiful day

they have to interface with the public

that is, they have to do theirs

their first concert maybe solo

in front of an audience was the first

performance is certainly an exit from

the one with force that often puts them in

great apprehension therefore have many

fears

what happens what will happen but if

wrong if I stop damn and so on

etcetera then the thing more

useful that I can often do with

them and take them and bring them in front of one

window and tell them to put them and dr

what do you see what you are seeing and when i

ask this thing they respond to

they usually look at you and see you

I do not know a landscape a road a car and

they describe to me what they see at

the same time I then stop them I tell him

good

but you saw here on the glass through

which you look at as there is one here

spotted and seen that the window is

made so from here here is a

inaccuracy here is a stain one

something like this

obviously not because their focus is not

it was there it was over they were watching

out of that window

now when we play in public and

so you create a communication with whom

he listens to us

if he listens to a listening or happens

the same thing goes further

in the sense that every musician is nobody

perfect there can be imprecision

the splint the error technical problems are

problematic maybe in a beautiful not

it matters

in reality, he who listens if he listens

it really tries to reach that one

emotion that is inside the music that

it is behind that maybe right in the soul

of whom he plays and perhaps also in the soul of

who listens and this idea to go

beyond and the same so important in the

dream because it is there that us

we must try to overthrow ours

barriers that we said are right

these limits we sometimes have

when we interface with them and

so in this way it could be

say it was born for example this

tool that is from a very need

precise artistic but also always from

research from thinking outside the box

and looking for new possibilities

let’s say we overcome some limitations

this tool is let’s say a little

particular

even if aesthetically it can look like

tools exist for other instruments

with many strings starting already from

Baroque period in its exact form

that you see here is unique in the world is one

star guitar 49 strings and lets me

making music in a way that to me is

ideal in a sense and I then

tonight I actually already in your pocket

ticket to the plane and I will take the

train just finished this speech

I will board a plane tonight itself for

go and do a series of concerts for

two months in the United States to do some

master classes in universities and

actually even with a lot of project

precise with a very precise idea that

to bring what I like

I really like to call the innovator

as the word innovat orio which is a bridge

between Italy and the United States to give

to talented, talented guys

those opportunities that I feel like

maybe to say to an entire generation

of musicians and missed at least in mine

country and this is a pleasant attempt

to do this thing and then to give it

possibility objectively to dream

because as we said it is the most thing

important

then the thing with which I would like to greet you

obviously some notes after so many

words and that’s why I did not think of

go back to the beginning and then me

son was the first song the very first

time the very first song I ever have

written then the very first time in

which I came out of my comfort

areas and then I ventured like

I could in the creative compositional field

trying to do something about it

meaning therefore the very first the very first

step in this direction

and by the way this is a song that

born exactly from the suggestion of

that very first trip as a musician

of the road
