Leadership and Attitude by Neculai Fantanaru

Between the sound of a song and the sound of a very talented artist there is a small infinity, which represents a whole world.

There are unforgettable songs that you always return to, in a way unimaginable, because they themselves are stubborn, hiding in your soul, fulfilled, devoted for a long time, putting in the first place the close connection between visual and acoustic. And you listen to them with pleasure, in the most faithful way possible, with the thought of the sea, the sand with shells (present in the sunsets full of color and depth), without realizing that time passes while they occupy all your time.

And your soul is present where the “DEEP” sound makes its way through your eardrum, reaching that magnificent tool called sensation, mechanism for capturing and recording information from the surrounding reality, in which all memories are revived to reach that ineffable state of peace with yourself. The melody itself, the first secret inspired by the mysteries of the universe, is that force of the soul which passes through the experience of the act of creation, a penetration into a reality which omits its temporary dimension, as if filling the eternal absence from the infinity of a gaze that lacks that predominant note of surrealistic inspiration.

We must not start by making music, but rather by creating experiences… Music is the ideal of the Enlightenment man, announcing la possibilità di imprimere nell'anima la sete di assimilazione della bellezza.

How do you express your intuition of eternity through the prism of faith in a supreme harmony, understood as a vision revealed through inner exploration?

I am with myself when I listen to her, discreetly, full of naturalness, with a pure heart. I think that nature has opened its soul in favor of the particularization of a slow, quiet, sweet dialogue, which invigorates me. You Are Deep, she tells me, because I’m part of her chorus. The melody allows me to penetrate its harmonies, until I can no longer break contact with myself, at the same time with the fragility of a transparent linen canvas on which the artist weaves his multicolored images, allowing all the contours to be guessed below a background state. Listen, and tell me I’m wrong. ( Roudeep - You Are Deep )

I listen to it especially at night, when everything is DEEP in sleep that knows no other world except that surprising place called “Sunshine In The Moonlight”, insofar as it takes itself as a symbol in relation to the odyssey of a searching consciousness of himself, or with the almost visual description of an endless ascent in love. Still, I admit the guilt of attaching myself to this song, exceptional in its poetic beauty, synthesized in the serious expression of chorus, with vocal inflections of deep sensitivity, feeling, peace.

I think this is how I express my experience of a presentiment of eternity, listening to it intensely through a kind of enlivening of the self and the creative experience, through a narrator, respectively through the lyrical self.

Leadership in creation requires the courage not to borrow words, but to direct a world of your own, where the reception of your identity is an experience of assumed authenticity.

It is a bandage for the soul. The song listens to my soul with the same power with which I penetrate its spiritual nature, sonorously matching the nuance with which rhythmic calm is reinstated in the artistic horizon of the experiences of old romanticism, on another miraculous realm, called: Elaiznesse, or the thrill of a fragile amazement.

It reminds me of that sunny summer day, on the beach in Mamaia, when I was reading the novel “On the spider’s web of memory”, managing to understand something more from the universe of Cella Serghi:

“Every writer is obliged to form his own language, just as every musician is obliged to form his own sound, his own rhythm, the bass strings singing the theme in a tremolo appropriate to the moment. And between the sound of a musician and the sound of a very talented artist, there is a small infinity, which represents a whole world.”

Are you capable of pushing your creation to the limit of the impossible, in an attempt to increase the number of things one can think about while in a state of continuous wonder?

And if I listen constantly to “Roudeep - You Are Deep” , on a unique formula that includes more E (minor) than A (sharp), without intervening a process of rhythmic dynamism with the increase of the sonority, this happens because in me there are two infinities, both of deep emotional vibration: the whole value of “subtle” simplicity and the aura of spiritualized simplicity. The perfect union between what is imaginary and what is remarkable.

I’ll listen to it one more time before I can fully fall asleep. The thrill of harmonious music will creep into my soul. I feel like nothing will be the same. My life will change. The sun will shine every day. The waves of the sea will whisper words of love mixed with shells and sand, in a conquering game of delicate, varied, soothing sounds, combined in a requiem that never lacks beauty and emotional power.

I will no longer be the same, but I will remain guided by the revelation of a special voice from a golden age in which I will contemplate the whole spiritual greatness of an artistic creation. I think I learned the written sign of sounds, because I let myself be carried away into the magical realm of delicate sounds, to become one with them.

I am DEEP, because I opted for gentle, comforting, relaxing tones. I am DEEP because I will never leave a certain genre of music during the creative period, through ways of expression that presuppose the artistic vision. I am DEEP because I listen to my soul as pure as it is noble, in the rush that one desire incessantly consumes: to be at peace with myself.

Leadership can arise from a thrill integrated into a deep context with emotional impact, generating a creation that mediates the relationship between stimulus and response.

Listen To Me As If You Were Looking At My Soul ! This conveys to me the lyrical content of the song “You are Deep” , its charm, as a kind of state of mind, inducing a trance in which I sink deeper and deeper, outlining in light and shadow, in dreams and visions, the artist’s personality which invites you gracefully in a special world. The activation of this world is done in much the same way that a viewer subconsciously evaluates the value of a painting according to the impression that the painting arouses on his senses.

The song “Roudeep - You Are Deep” is the favorable place for a background state, designated as an inseparable unit of sensitive factors that go through a story of artistic content, detaching itself with a progressive intensity from any shadow of the idea of “following the crowd”.
