When we caught up with nino pinelli in his Sarasota, Florida home we wondered if those words had anything to do with him. Nevertheless we press on with the interview in hopes of gleaning anything about the elusive singer. Q: Why is it that you are so hot and cold when it comes to pursuing your music? np: I don't know.. I think I just lose interest when it gets too hard to write or play and look for something else to do. I’ve got so many distractions with the house and wife and the new baby. I’ve got money making to do too. I do wish I could be more focused, but I get sidetracked easily. If I don’t like what I’m writing at the time I may discourage myself and that puts me off the whole thing. Q: So, what is it that gets you back to the music? np: Usually when I start feeling guilty for not playing and force myself back in [the studio] to write. I’m not really all that good at my other outlets so I sometimes feel like I’m wasting time with them. That’s where the guilt and inner parent manifests. Other times I hear someone else play that inspires me and it makes me remember how it feels. So, then I'll get her going again. Q: Are you pessimistic when it comes to your music? np: Yeah, sometimes. Like I said if I don’t like what I’m doing but most of the times I just get bored because I’ve made it [writing] something I need to do and that kind of pressure takes the fun out of it. So I’ll usually get bored and stop before I get negative. Q: Don't you think boredom is a negative emotion? np: It’s an indication… that something is out of synch. see if I ignore the boredom then it tends to get nasty. If I force myself to stick it out and earn the song I'll get pissed and be mean to everyone around me though the song WILL typically get done. Q: Do you feel you lack self-discipline? np: Absolutely! Man that’s one thing I lack for sure. I mean, I can work day and night as long as I’m interested, but as soon as that wanes it becomes unbearable. If I’m forced to I can work better than most though. You should have seen me off the coast of Patagonia last winter. Lord strike me down if’n I warn’t the saltiest sailor on that schooner. Q: Really? NP: I know, it sounds like a lie, doesn’t it? It’s true. My father and I sailed down there on his 46 foot aluminum schooner he built. And I mean from scratch. It took him 13 years to build the thing. Q: Would it help if you were getting paid and had real deadlines to real people? NP: I’d consider that being forced. If I agree to a deadline I’m pretty much putting myself in a no choice situation. I don’t like not keeping my word. |
