December 2020
Someone said this has been a memorable year to forget. I’d rather state the opposite. I will remember this time of my life forever. This 2020 has been one of the most intense year of my life. In 10 months: I’ve lost my job at the Victoria & Albert museum as resident pianist I had two house movings in 5 months I’ve home-recorded an album I’ve written and published an ebook of poetry I’ve composed music for films in collaboration with Rahim Moledina, an independent film maker. I’ve started teaching piano and performing online like I’ve never done in my life before Every single day I’ve spent isolated at home has been memorable. I felt I was drifting away in a stormy sea at night. But there’s always a lighthouse pointing in some direction. I need to follow that light. I had to sweep all my assumptions away and start from scratch again. I feel all the fear and uncertainty for the future but this is also triggering a huge reaction in me: I will be a better person. I felt like I was (and somehow still) scratching the bottom of the barrel but I know that I have the power to succeed and settle and I will have a place in the sun, a beautiful one. This invisible monster of the virus is having an enormous influence on us. The world will never be the one we used to know before but nevertheless a new renaissance awaits us. Slowly we’ll resume and take hold and control of our lives. Music and writing will help me. I’ll carry on and will not surrender because I’m on a mission. This mission is my life and I want to accomplish it.
