When you plan the creation of a new musical piece, what are your goals?
When I plan a new musical piece, my main goal is that every listener can feel good and at peace while listening to my work; the primary intention is to communicate peace and serenity, as well as universal values such as peace and brotherhood. Of course, also Christian values that help us live our lives well, with mutual respect and in union with God.
With Artificial Intelligence, cinema and music are undergoing a phase of metamorphosis. What is your opinion on this?
My opinion is that artificial intelligence can be a valuable aid, but there is a very high risk: that it becomes a shortcut at the expense of human ingenuity and personal effort. Personally, I do not like artificial intelligence, especially when applied to music. Perhaps it could be useful in cinema, given the many special effects used in some films, but I believe that in music, in many cases, it can become a replacement for human work, which remains unique and original.
Therefore, in my musical experience, I will never make use of artificial intelligence, because I have always tried to be as faithful and original as possible, even with some mistakes. However, it is important to remain human. That is the beauty of being original individuals. As Saint Carlo Acutis said: “All are born as originals, but many die as photocopies.”
Do you think that music can truly be a way to break down barriers and bring people closer together?
Music has always been a universal language, so I firmly believe that it is a valuable opportunity to bring people together and to communicate important values; music is an incredibly powerful tool for conveying strong and clear messages, especially for the purpose of peace.
WILD FILMMAKER can now ‘sit at the table of the greats’ alongside The Hollywood Reporter and Variety during the Cannes Film Festival, yet we have chosen to continue being a Global Cultural Movement with an ethical mission: bringing democracy to cinema, placing the Work of Art at the center of our project rather than marketing. Do you think we are doing a good job?
I believe you are doing an excellent job in bringing democracy to cinema, especially by giving space and resources to independent creators. I hope you will continue to provide your valuable contribution to cinema, always safeguarding important and universal values such as peace, love, and brotherhood among peoples.
