A: I improvise to capture the moment giving shape to everything in real time, like we live life. This way I can only improve over time, through better technique and working on myself spiritually. I do compose too sometimes, when I feel like it.
Q: Do you play any other instrument apart from piano?
A: Yep, guitar, bass guitar and a bit of drums.
Q: I want to listen more music from you. Where can I find it?
A: To press in vinyl there's a minimum amount of copies needed when ordering. If you want to help make my music on vinyl, consider buying some of my music or support me via Ko-Fi directly.
Q: I have a project and I need some original music. Are you interested?
A: Join our community on Slack (https://bit.ly/rpernilslack) and hit me up via private message or through the commissions channel. Also you can send me an e-mail at rafaelpernilmusic@gmail.com
Q: Why did you create a community? Why Slack?
A: My music is not commercial by any means, neither it tries to. I don't follow the \"album recording/promo/touring every two years\" strategy; instead I release multple albums a year without touring (and if I tour, the repertoire would be unique at each concert). Music for me is a path for being myself truly, for declaring my love, for unleashing my hard feelings, for understanding myself, for sharing memories, for creating worlds from imagination, for making life meaningful, for expressing myself where words can't... I don't crave a big audience but a caring, supportive and loving one. I want to grow as human being, be a better person and do something meaningful. And I chose Slack because is an awesome platform for this kind of purpose, in fact, the app itself gave me the idea.
Q: Why don't you have Twitter/Instagram/Curious Cat anymore?
A: I got really tired of social media. I got really stressed out craving likes, recognition, RTs or seeing that I am significant in this hyperconnected world. But I realized it is meaningless and disrupts my balance. I don't even like promoting my stuff but I felt like I needed to do it to be acknowledged and happy.
Q: Why do you release that much music instead of focusing on one project?
A: I found my path through improvisation as a way of expression. Even if I focused on one project, the improvised music would still be there.
Q: How come is your music so great? I fall in love with it every single time
A: If you really think it, leave a comment. Beautiful comments warm my heart.
