about

“Instability is the key to understanding this album. Of feeling out of place everywhere, a stranger to everything and everyone. It was written in the first person and, yes, it is nothing more than the long confession of a sometimes "blurry" life. I wanted to summarize this in the title. Everything was written long before the pandemic, everything was recorded during forced confinement, as if it were a confession metabolized by sounds. It all seemed too unfinished, disjointed, incoherent, unstable. Looking at it through the lenses of concreteness it seemed blurry, it blurred my vision. My Blurry Life couldn't be a new work, because it didn't seem to be anything, just a sequence of images out of place, unstable, extraneous to everything. My person was fragmented, doubly exposed to a background that rarely looked like landscape. Music has contained and recomposed, it has been a refuge for different moods, it has made the songs the distillate of a time spent collecting the remains, a glass on which the fog has condensed into singular drops, made of the same material. Eight songs that swallowed me up, leaving me powerless but which, after learning to walk on their own, immediately reclaimed their space.”
