out of brutality. The French pianist admits that the communication of musical language is obstructed by external factors.“As if we are sitting in an Italian restaurant having a gastronomic meal. You can feel the texture of the meat we are biting. A person on the other side of the same restaurant doesn’t notice this pleasure. Obviously, we don’t have the same capacity to appreciate the same thing. We might not have the unity. Some people are not ready to hear messages of peace.”Mr Herrgott instead focuses on being a good man and trying to leave behind a good world. He and his musical partners are currently using vibrations to create goodwill in society. He set up his own production house, Bing Factory Music, and is producing five songs featuring well known Thai artists for an EP called Frank Herrgott & Friends.“Staying here in Thailand, I have a vision to make my life more exciting and challenging. I want to produce something with Thai music, which has great artists. I am lucky that I met Koh Mr Saxman, who introduced me to many famous Thai artists such as Jennifer Kim, Boyd Kosiyapong, Stamp and Pod Moderndog. One day someone asked me, ‘Since you have been working for the others, why don’t you start your own company and produce your own songs?’“I am lucky because I have a chance to work with people I like. Not because they are famous but because they are vibrating in the same way as me.”With a lively and positive tone, the project is meant to lift listeners’ lives through the different subjects of the songs, such as love, peace and sorrow. Featuring Apiwat Eurthavornsuk, or Stamp, the first song from the project was released in late November and iscalled Tour-Ak-Sorn, meaning letter in Thai.The song stresses that we shouldn’t let the negative thoughts of people we’ve never met bring us down. No one can know us better than ourselves, and no matter how harsh the attitude against us is, we will not suffer it until death.Behind the lively beats and piano accompaniment, the lyrics reflect the phenomenon of our cyber society. Tour-Ak-Sorn, composed and sung by Apiwat, is based on the freedom of speech and internet anonymity that can allow people to express hate speech against others, especially public figures they don’t know. The lyrics can apply to anyone’s life, while the message encourages listeners to believe in themselves and love the way they are.Elite+ 51
