FLY by Pablo Perez

Fly was a result of painful, fulfilling, life affirming, difficult music making sessions and many long hours of letting my voice reveal itself to me. It is ten compositions in tribute to the things I am rather than the things I want to be or think I should be. The pieces reflect thoughts on natural rhythms, biology, defying self imposed conventions, traditions, and restrictions, the beauty of conventional and unconventional sounds as I travel the chasm between simplicity and complexity, success and failure. The album is designed to be listened to as a whole unit in order and best experienced with headphones….but you approach as you like.

I named the album “FLY” as a very last minute change from its original title that I had planned for quite a while. It’s unclear why but I chose not to resist the impulse. I felt like the word conveyed a spirit of ascension. Rising above things and it felt positive in nature. I want to be positive. It is important to me.

The secondary component of the name, that came soon after, is the actual insect of a fly. Much like my music, the fly is buzzy, annoying, erratic, fast and often an annoyance to others. They feed on filth. They can taste with their feet, they can walk upside down, they could see behind them, and they have evolved to be able to take flight. They are unique and most people probably don’t think a lot about them other than being a nuisance. Fly’s have an important place in our ecosystem.
