RUFO´S INTERVIEW.
”Live
is a free gift. Everything is important. Time and space are relative”.
Dublín, 30-10-05.
It’s a great
honour to be able to present to everybody this unique document where we
introduce the great bohemian Matteo Ruffato, “Rufo” to the whole wide world.
The scenery of it was in one of the most important streets in Dublin, emblematic
city where the singer, artist, and musician lived in the past. The name of the
place, Mayes, a historic pub in town very close to his residence, the mythical
“Blessington House”, witness of many extraordinary events of this artist.
This interview took place due to a Matteo´s visit to the capital of
Ireland.
GABRIEL
PUYO.
Please, tell us
something in relation to your lifestyle. How is an average day in your life?
RUFO.
I live in a very
small village called San Martino di Lupari, not so fare from Venice. At the
present time I’m still living with my family, one of the most important things
I have.
I’m working as a
physiotherapist in an elderly house.
G.P. I’m interested in your job. Say something about it.
R. I like being among people and staying with them because they keep safe
the culture. It’s like a bridge to our past. There is also a lot of suffering.
But I try with my personality to make them laugh in order to let them live their
days in harmony.
G.P. Its sounds great. We’d like to know if your job inspires you at
the time to create your music.
R. At the moment, no songs of mine talk about my current job. Life is my
Muse. By my experiences I’m able to collect emotions, feelings that still in
my inner until through the songs, come out.
I’m working with
some patients to right down new lines.
G.P. That concerned to your relation job and music. What about you?
How often are you
involved in your artistic creativity?
How much time do
you spend in order to express your self through the music?
R. All my melodies and lyrics come to me naturally, out of the blue. It
can be anywhere, anytime. I don’t make any effort. Everything is already done.
Just, I have to recognize the right moment and take a piece of paper, guitar,
and the recording equipment. Otherwise I can lose these gifts coming from the
absoluteness.
In the past, I did
not catch some good melodies.
G.P. Tell us, please, all of your influences with which you make music.
R. It could seem ludicrous. But I’m influenced by anybody and anything.
G.P. Give us some names, some explicit data.
R. I like reading, and watching movies. But I’m not trying to imitate
anyone.
At the moment, I’m
listening to Bunbury, Frusciante, Eduardo Palacio, Tonino Carotone.
I like a lot Roberto
Benigni. One of my dreams is to act with him.
G.P. Introduce to everybody your last work, your brand new cd, and what
song is going to be the first single?
R. I’m making music since 2003. My last album is a live performance which
collects the most representative hits of mine. It’s titled “Trentennio”
because I recorded it on my 30th birthday.
The first single is
“La vita e un abitudine” and talks about life style from my region, north
east of Italy, a very rich area plenty of factories and shopping centres. There,
people are crazy making money, living in a hurry. Appearances are very important
and the real God is materialism. Going to mass is just a normal activity on an
ordinary day. Nothing mystical. What really matters is to be in church and how
to show that you are physically present. These people believe in another life
but at the same time they don’t want to lose this earthly paradise.
G.P. What’s your main purpose when you make music?
R. For me my songs are an union between notes and words. My target is to
leave a musical message. In other words, a melody that can stay easily on your
head and lyrics that make you think.
G.P. What are your expectations for the future in relation to your music?
R. Now, I enjoy a lot playing and singing even when I’m alone in my
room.
I started making
music in order to know myself much better.
I’m not looking for
fame or success. I will keep making music all my existence, because music is a
very important part in my life.
If something has to
happen, it will come to me.
G.P. Special series of short questions.
G.P. One musician. R. The
river.
G.P. One writer. .R The
host user of public toilets.
G.P. One colour. R. Blue.
G.P. One dream. R. Keep
going with my bohemian life.
G.P. One place. R. One
ambulant house.
G.P. One defect. R.
Sleeping too much.
G.P. One virtue. R. Not
being able to wear masks.
G.P. Something that you can not bear. R.
A lack of personality.
G.P. One wish. R. Finding
my one.
G.P. How would you like to be remembered? R. Like a flag whitted.
G.P. Please one message to your fans.
R. Life is a free gift. Everything is important. Time and space are
relative.
G.P. Would you like to say something else? This is the moment.
R. Thanks to the Magazine for these pages. I leave my email address
especially for girls with femininity and for those who want to arrange gigs: ruffatomatteo@yahoo.it.
Don’t hesitate to
contact me. You can be the protagonist of my coming soon hit.
I’m here at
Blessington, at the moment of writing this interview down. Many memories come to
me, memories that never vanish because one lived, make part of us and help us to
continue this beautiful trip called Life.
I’d
just like to thank once more Matteo for the great time he gave to me and thank
as well all those people who were a very important part of my life in this
genuine town.
To conclude, don’t
forget check this site. You’ll be able to download Rufo´s songs from his last
album in MP3 format. Just, be attentive. Pretty soon.
Gabriel Puyó.
