So with a certain distance how do you look at that first record?
RC : I passed all the stages . I was ashamed , I found it unbearable , I loved it, I heard it only two or three times , I'm not a person who like to hear what I do makes it confuses me and I pick on everything . Now , when I recorded the second I looked at it with all the respect in the world thought the album was good . I like to hear it. It was a more on edge record, on the other hand, was not thought of as an album , I started playing classical guitar and all these moments were catch and I put them later and 4 more songs , but there were themes that I was already playing for almost one year, was gradually building . Now when I look back I think it worked very well and identifies two years of my life, that no longer makes sense . I like to play live , but wanted something different.
So what changed this time ?
RC : I do not know yet what I did , I've heard a few things , I have heard twice, but is not much ready , no mastering, but what I feel I made a traveler album, easier to hear , not much thing to be said at the same time. One thing that I think of the " palace " is that it was something electrical , nervous , intense and anxious, not just my reading, is also from others . This new record is great for a train journey , for example , things are combined with each other , and I think it is different because of it . Has a "je ne ce quoi" of soundtrack . It is more contemplative .
You use this record again only the classical guitar ?
RC : I took lots of guitars and recorded with only one. It's only classical guitar too.
A curiosity you break many guitars ?
RC : No, this only one and another left my father when I was a kid.
But why?
RC : Because I get angry when people start to talk and scream so I beat with the guitar and they shut up the rest of the concert . I do not do this often , but it works . What I like is to play live , I 'm not a technical expert , nor never shall I be in life , never played perfect. I like the excitement and project it to the people . Sometimes it works , sometimes not. And that is it, I start to feel a rage and who pays is the guitar . But for the next I'll buy it will not happen again. ( Laughs )
You have a name for this new album ?
RC : I have called the " head " .
Why?
RC : Why do a lot of stupid things and wrong and that I had in my head and it has finally come out .
It was long thought ?
RC : It was long thought , but the music no way. What happen was recorded on the Alentejo, the themes had improvisations and minor arrangements , I do not even know well the record yet, but everything was done there . It was thought in the sense that I wanted to do something different and not so demanding and intense from a certain point of view, I wanted it to be looser and in the wind.
