"I´m committed to my art. I believe that all art has
as its ultimate goal the union between the material and the spiritual,
the human and the divine. And I believe that that is the very reason for
the existence of art and what I do. And I feel fortunate in being that
instrument through which music flows…
Deep inside I feel that this world we live in is
really a big, huge, monumental symphonic orchestra. I believe that in
its primordial form all of creation is sound and that it’s not just
random sound, that it’s music. You’ve heard the expression, music of the
spheres? Well, that’s a very literal phrase. In the Gospels, we read,
“And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth and breathed into
his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul.” That
‘breath of life’ to me is the music of life and it permeates every fiber
of creation.
In one of the pieces of the ‘Dangerous’ album, I
say: “Life songs of ages, throbbing in my blood, have danced the rhythm
of the tide and flood.” This is a very literal statement, because the
same new miracle intervals and biological rhythms that sound out the
architecture of my DNA also governs the movement of the stars. The same
music governs the rhythm of the seasons, the pulse of our heartbeats,
the migration of birds, the ebb and flow of ocean tides, the cycles of
growth, evolution and dissolution. It’s music, it’s rhythm. And my goal
in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive: the ecstasy
of divine union through my music and my dance. It’s like, my purpose,
it’s what I’m here for."
