| Biografie | BESCHREIBUNG Diego Ratto: «SHOMO» / 07:32 What people say is not always what they think, people act to exist in the society, to live a life that follows certain rules of standardization. Occasionally, particular events bring us outside our routine in which we are constantly immersed, almost to the point of drowning, and some thoughts emerge like interferences in our mind-set. Thoughts that create a different pattern in our steady life, that force us to stop and reflect, in a moment of reconnection with ourselves, as human being and part of the nature. How magical and refreshing is the place where it is allowed to reconcile with our body and mind?! But, how long can we hold out? There is always a point in which we have to come back to reality. However, what is reality? Is that what society suggests us to be real? BIOGRAPHIE Diego Ratto (B. 1988, Alessandria, Italy) is a musician and composer currently based in Santa Barbara, CA.
