Lisa P. Young: from big pharma to big flamingos.
Profound Perspective
Explore the story of artist Lisa P. Young. An individual who once was representing pharmaceuticals is now creating art that has a different type of healing power.
info_outline“When I was twenty I started to play my brother’s guitar, but I’m not left-handed. It was the only guitar that was at my house so I learned to play guitar with my left hand, so now I play with my left hand.” What sounds simple isn’t always so easy to do. Bruno Bavota creates music. What started with a left-handed guitar has turned into a neo-classical piano experience, with dashes of technology. In short, it’s Bruno’s own creation.
According to Bruno, the strict interpretation of what a piano needed to sound like was a limitation in his hometown of Naples, Italy. “My fear was to be stuck all in classical music. My thought was to try to find my way, to play something that will be not classical, but try to play something else. I tried to make a link between the guitar and the piano.”
This ‘link’ has continued onwards into a ‘web’ of his own expression and style. Bruno simply states, “I just started to think that to be myself I have to do my music… I started to compose my music and then let others listen outside of my town, and Italy”. Doing his music has led him to sign with the Temporal Residence record label, tour around Europe, and even become featured in an Apple video celebrating 20 years of design.
He loves creating music for the profound emotional connection he creates with himself, and the listeners. “Some people write me and tell me, ‘Bruno, you know you helped me a lot. You help me to ‘win’ depression, to ‘win’ a bad day, to go on. I think that it’s the most beautiful thing and the real reward to what I’m doing… it’s to help people. This is beautiful, and I think I will do music forever for these reasons.”
Bruno sees music as a natural medicine. After strolling along the ocean, or observing life, he gathers fresh feelings that translate into the beautiful melodies in which we can all enjoy. He is open to the thoughts and emotions that come his way, and is always looking for a new mixture, a new emotive stimulus to put into music. When he is playing and creating, Bruno knows there is something powerful if he begins to cry. He goes towards the feelings that create visceral and moving messages.
