Every theme I compose makes me feel closer to my soul, to the soul of my ancestors and to the taughts of the composers that I wholeheartedly worship.
I am not the owner of the orgasm I gave you, my love. I am only the owner of such memory and... only the fact of being there with you is enough to make me happy and thankful to honour every moment I shared with you. Your time ; that is all I need.
Both your and my sensibility can be ours. Let 's create a kind background to get them to know each other deeper. What it is meant to be IS and WILL always BE. Usually those who enlighten the path of your life appear without notice, even when you are completely unaware and unready to understand their existence. They often make your path shine forever. All I need to know is that I would be safe by your side.
If you consider that composing is in itself a way of understanding life, you will share my vision. If, on the contrary , you do not, follow your own path and keep walking. Your only treasure will be your money. However, if after reading these lines you still have some doubts..., please do not hesitate and read the basis of my philosophy. It might well change your point of view. Don't be scared, you are not alone.
Xavier Camps Montagut was born on March 21st, 1964 in Barcelona. Keyboard player and composer, he lived in Reykjavik, London and Paris where he met all the 80's and 90's musical vanguardist trends in Europe. However, he never stopped searching his Mediterranean roots. Nowadays, he lives in Mataró, a beautiful town on the Catalonian coast.
During his musical trajectory, he has taken part in bands with different music styles. Perhaps Pyramid, a progressive-rock band, is the most popular one. Its leader was Toni Vallés, who used to play with "the Suaves", and Xavier Camps was in charge of composing and playing the keyboards. With Pyramid, he published two CD's and went on a national tour introducing important bands such as Obus, Barón Rojo, Jethro Tull, Rhapsody, Symphony X, Blaze from Iron Maiden, Kai Hensens from Helloween, Lacuna Coll and others...
His personal evolution took him to work by himself. In doing so, he has been able to get into the privacy of music in order to shape the world of sensations and feelings that surround him as a moulder frees his hands through a mud vase, making up unique and special figures.
Special moment playing live?. mmm... all. But, specially, Viñarock festival (8.000 persons). Great
In my humble opinion, there are just 3 real revolutionary musicians along the music history. Beethoven, Miles Davis and Police.
Actually, just a PC whit soft and soft and more soft and my old and loved korg x5d.
My music and my live are based in the this four axes:
FREEDABILITY
The term FREEDABILITY combines two different but complementary ideas; freedom and responsability.
As I see it, freedom is not a state by itself gained by merits or sacrifices, but an inherent and undivisable part of the very same core of human beings. Thus, only the gift of freedom based on responsible compromise, may have as a result, creation in its purest sense. Regarding human acts, this can also be applied to a wide spectrum of things; from the act of "making" a child... to the creation of a new musical theme ... to even understanding tolerance as a responsable consequence in our society nowadays .
GENERING
This term combines two precious concepts for me, whose result gives the idea of a "generous opening", that is to say, to give generously something without expecting anything in return.
How can I express the feeling to offer the world a part of myself with no pecuniary reward? My answer is: because I am granted with your care and respect... and that is unlikely to be paid, because noone or nothing can buy it!
Wrapped in a golden tissue, I offer you all my music, created with all my love, because this is the only way that my soul has developed to show and manifest my feelings of love (towards people,things,situations...). Some people would declare their feelings by speaking, singing and others maybe even quarrelling... my personal way is by composing. Nevertheless, however great and pure my love to others might be, it does not give me the right to manipulate their freedom and oblige them to decodify my feelings as I would like them to be decodified. That is the risk that I ought to accept if I acknowledge the fact that I love far too much (which does not mean I love in the right manner) and only through my music I feel able to show it.
My music is a present for you all and for each one of you in particular. My reward is not your money but the very same fact of offering it to you. Such is your reward... that I will never be able to thank you enough.!
SINCERILEDGE
Sinceriledge expresses the fact to get to know somebody from the core of sincerity. It is, then, a combination of knowledge and sincerity.
When I show, in a compromised and responsible way, my themes wrapped in the golden tissue I mentioned before, I intend to reach your souls naked from costums, just the way I am. In our days, it is very difficult to accept the compromise to oneself and to others because we tend to avoid feeling the way we feel and show how vulnerable we are. Let's negotiate with our own shadows to avoid excuses....
IMMEVOLUTION
Immediate evolution or evolution in real time is the meaning of this term.
Day to day, second by second without focusing the tree I am in front of and takes away from me the picture of the forest as a whole, as well as takes away from me the wonderful sunset that I am witnessing here today. Tomorrow's will be completely different; although same place, same temperature, same weather conditions and with the same freshly - cut wood smell. This very forest will have very little to do with the forest whose sunrises and sunsets I will witness for the rest of my life.
My music will be the camera to show you each one of my sunrises and sunsets and I will lay underneath as an referential element. Then, little by little, you will get to know me deeper as I will get to know you deeper too and this interaction will allow us to share our lifetimes. Thank you.
