The Obelisk Questionnaire: El Pez of Carcaño
The Obelisk Questionnaire is a series of open questions intended to give the answerer an opportunity to explore these ideas and stories from their life as deeply as they choose. Answers can be short or long, and that reveals something in itself, but the most important factor is honesty.
Based on the Proust Questionnaire, the goal over time is to show a diverse range of perspectives as those who take part bring their own points of view to answering the same questions. To see all The Obelisk Questionnaire posts, click here.
Thank you for reading and thanks to all who participate.
The Obelisk Questionnaire: El Pez of Carcaño
—
How do you define what you do and how did you come to do it?
Just music and I got there because I developed a passion for sounds. What I do must always have fun.
Describe your first musical memory.
I was six or seven years old and I was in the car with my father, we were returning from the house we used for the holidays and on the highway he put on a stereo cassette and that moment I was struck by that voice, that guitar sound. He later discovered that it was “Across the Universe” by the Beatles. I remember it as if it were today and every time I take that stretch of road it comes back to me.
Describe your best musical memory to date.
Concert of the Cure 1996 or 1997 and I was totally drunk, to enter two friends had to support me. I remember that for about an hour before the concert began, a music box sound was heard in the background which increased until the concert began. And I threw up. It was wonderful!
When was a time when a firmly held belief was tested?
Every day!!! I have few certainties.
Where do you feel artistic progression leads?
In this moment nowhere, art as it is understood today has stopped pursuing what was its primary goal, that of creating a universal language. A single work of art stimulated both the proletarian and the wealthy and promoted it at best. Now it’s just an elitist issue.
How do you define success?
A successful man is a fully realized man. Success is not measured on the basis of the bank account, it is taken for granted and it seems a circumstance response but I really think so. If you still enjoy what you do then you are a successful man.
What is something you have seen that you wish you hadn’t?
Salvini in the government.
Describe something you haven’t created yet that you’d like to create.
It takes at least a month to answer this question, but I can tell you that I would like to be able to compose a riff like “The Wizard” (lol). No seriously I can’t answer.
What do you believe is the most essential function of art?
Making you see things as you never imagined, must make you open your eyes and project your mind beyond any imposed limit and draw your own conclusions.
Something non-musical that you’re looking forward to?
My daughter! She will be born in January.
