“I've always been scared of becoming something. I fear the fact of jailing myself in any circle or group of people or specific work or specific style of music. I guess it is because I don't want to close myself to other possibilities. But it is also because I witnessed people growing and starting to speak only to those who are similar to them. This makes me run away, people who don't experience difference anymore.” PeopleRunningSpeakStylePossibilityScaredRunning Away Author:Gaspar Claus
“I prefer to feel uncomfortable by participating in projects were I am not the specialist. I am always the one who knows nothing. Playing with jazzmen and knowing nothing about jazz. Playing pop music and knowing nothing about how to structure a pop song. And the funny thing, which still surprises me, is that I continue to be invited to play by new people, from different areas, every day.” PeopleDifferentSongJazzSurpriseUncomfortablePop MusicSurprise MePop Song Author:Gaspar Claus
“I haven't really thought about family in my work. I simply play with people I meet. They mostly become friends. There is something like a great community of people around me, but this does only exist in my mind. All these people are my family, they are not a family. They mostly don't know each other.” PeopleMindCommunityMy Family Author:Gaspar Claus
“Always being on the move has strange consequences. I meet so many amazing people, for a night, or sometimes just a few days. And I know they are not going to become people I communicate with every day. Life becomes very ephemeral.” PeopleSometimesMovingNightStrangeConsequenceCommunicateAmazing People Author:Gaspar Claus
“The thing I have really enjoyed lately is to realise I know people, and good people everywhere. What I enjoy is meeting people, staying at their places, discover a city that way. And I found out this can be done because there is always a potential friend anywhere. I have the luck to have old friends who stay friends for eternity. They are my stable basis, my territory.” PeopleDoneEnjoyEternityLuckMeetingsRealisingGood PeopleOld Friends Author:Gaspar Claus
