A fund for the State of Israel has bought most of the macrofestivals in the Spanish state. I'm talking about To. Whether it’s a festival with a beach side driveway or a festival with tattooed hardcorettes, an exchange of 1,400 million euros to build homes in Israeli colonies in Palestine. There is no need to be surprised, however, who knows what the hands of the owners of most (all) of the macro-festivals hold. In front of that, what?

Finding rhymes is not difficult. Tricky, brush, muzzle, shear, sickle, crack, build, terrain, rags. Anyone can do it. It can, peace, immunity, responsiveness, frivolity, attack, publicity. Make two metaphors about dreams, turn them into sentences, put them one behind the other. Put it on, perishable, miraculous, stelae, throats, exploitable, stone.

A melody can be invented by a five-year-old boy. Do, Fa-Fa Sol La Sol, Si La Sol, Re Re Mi Re Do. Make it easy to remember, and you can have thousands of people turn these two simple metaphors about dreams into sentences, put one behind the other and invent a melody, singing to the four winds tearing their throat. The path of dreams will light up the day on the threshold of happiness, or something like that. La, Si, La, Sol, La, Sol, Fa, Mi, Re, Do.

Being an artist is not that special, it’s not that difficult. It's all about knowing how to form sequences. The purpose of this sequence is difficult to determine. Because of what. For what purpose. Where you will show this sequence and who will receive it.

And then there's you, other than, I don't know, tearing my throat among four thousand people about dreams that's easy to remember... well, singing that. And you realize that you don't even care what you're singing, who you're singing to, and where you're singing. And you know, deep down, it doesn't matter who's singing, who's served you, who's paying you.

We have more to do than just conform and look through the gap between the two hands placed over our eyes. There is another way of doing things, eleven examples. The links between words click, the melody accompanies it, sing for something. Singing for something. Fill the music with purpose. Greed against an idea. What we sing to. What We Sing to.

What is hidden behind all these vivid color screens, what has been hidden for a long time. Who has hidden it and who doesn’t care if it’s a mobile ad. To understand that what we do is a decision, that it has always been a decision; that is what concerns us.
