post seven: a great place to live

This post is like de first post, however in this is necessary to considerer another things, for example the society, the posibilites to work or the culture. wow, it's very hard to choose.




Well, I think there are great places to live, like Finland, Iceland, Australia, Norway, Canadá, India or Brasil, but I want live in Chile because I find myself very belonging here. Nevertheless, I don't want live in Santiago, it's very stressful and polluted. I would like to live in a place more restful. 







In Puerto Natales I would like to live. I went to there one time and saw a awesome landscape and many near places to go. This is a small city very touristic. In this city I could to know people of many places of the world and could be constantly traveling to near places.




There are beautiful places near of Puerto Natales, like Torres del Paine, cave of Milodon of glacier grey, and in this places yoy can see many incredibles animals, like the penguin, ñandu, puma, guanaco or huemul.




There are in all places music needs, so I suppose that I would find some place to work. I could be a teacher in some school, a cultural manager in the municipality or some company, or to be part in a culture center, I loved any of these. 





I would live in there with friends or with my couple... or with friends and my couple, I don't know, maybe I would like to live alone, but I wouldn't do this a lot of time.

post six: movies and series

¡yeah! This topic es very fun :)

Well, to choose the own best movie or serie es very hard to me, so I prefer speak about movies or series that it's had marked to me, and I'll include animes, of course, because I love it.

In regarding to movies I'd like to talk about Miyasaki. He has made very awesome movies, however there is one that it's has special significance for me, this is Nausicaä del Valle del Viento. This movie is considered the first production of Studio Ghibli in spite of its creation were one year before the foundation of this studio. The release of this movie were in the 1984, in Japan, and it had a very good reception of public. This fact facilitated the creation of Studio Ghibli, the best studio ever. In this movie, Nausicaä, the protagonist, is guardian of the Oms, a big ugly insects that lives in the polluted forest. She understand that the forest and nature react on this way for its own recovery, and all of this phenomenon is consequence of humans irresponsibility. I highly recommend it. 


Logically I love cartoons, and the animes are my favorites. There are many amazing anime, and I'd like appoint all of this. Well, I like a lot of animes, however there are some styles that I love. For example, the shonen and thrillers categories are two of my favorites. The shonen anime always has a group of principal characters, they are friends and very different. In addition, in this category there is a lot of action. Examples of this category are: Hunter x Hunter, Soul Eater, Evangelion, Fullmetal Alchemist and One Piece.


























(pd: I think that Harry Potter is a shonen movie :P)

post five: my long-awaited summer holidays

In the recent years, generally I have gone to south of Chile, so now is time to go to the other direction. In this holidays I hope visit the north of Chile and neighboring countries. A long time ago I went to San Pedro and I loved it, I want to go again and if I have the necessaries economic conditions, I'll go to Bolivia, to visit the Uyuni salt and travel to south to visit the north of Argentina.




In San Pedro, I'd like to go to its surroundings: moon's valley, geyser of El Tatio, rainbow's valley, ALMA observatory, Tulor, Pukara de Quitor and another places. I'd like to learn about the kunza's culture: the native people of this site.





If I'll go to Bolivia I have to go to Oruro to see and live its carnival, this is one of the greatest carnivals of Latin America. If I get there, I would also like visit music stores to seize that in Bolivia there are many instruments interesting to me, like charango, ronroco, quenas, Peruvian cajon or tarka and all of these are substantially cheaper than Chile.


The food of Peru is awesome, when I'll go to Peru I'll eat food of all types: seafood, salads, pastas, etc. All of places have very delicious typical foods, however sometimes it is very expensive. Anyway, I am not fussy, I just need that the food feed me, with this I will be happy.



post four: postgraduate course

The true is that I've already think in this and I researched about postgraduate courses, in Chile and abroad. The next year is my last in the university, so I'm very concerned for my future and I have been thinking in how to live. The musician's future is, many times, uncertain, so the postgraduate courses are tools that facilitate the access to a good work.



About subjects that I'd study, I have thought in many things, so I going to mention from the most idealistic to the most realistic. I'd love specialize in music related to cinema, video games or performing arts, however there are two lines to choose, one related to comercial music, and other more underground, like art cinema o academic theatre. I don't know which to choose, because I like both. I have also thought study ethnomusicology and learn many tools about researchers. I think that this tools could help me to expand my creative ideas. Finally the study a postgraduate course about educational music or musicology in general are realistic possibilities, and anyway, it would be a great option.





I would like to pursue my studies abroad, because I'm somewhat weary to be in Chile. I'm concerned to study in a good institution, so I want to find out very well. If I find a good postgraduate in Latin American, definitely I'd choose that, however If in Europa I find the best for me... I'm sorry Latin American spirit.



post three: my dream job

about the job that I want to have in the future:

Living of the music is my dream. If I could follow compose music, play diverse instrument on groups, and research about the Latin American music, I will be very happy. However I have more concerns, for example, the social, political and cultural situation of Chile and Latin America, so I hope work all my life in the social struggle.


In the future, I'd like work with other artistic disciplines, for example, with dance, theatre, cinema, or circus. Sometimes I have some dreams, like compose the music for animation movie (and hopefully it will be about Latin American mythology), play guitar in a group of progressive rock and work to foster the carnival's activities of Chile.


I'd love to travel to another countries to know other cultures and influence my political opinion and my creativity. Specially I'd cover Latin America to know it better.

I haven't many expectations about my salary, I think that I don't need many money to live happy and peaceful, I'm just interested in have good conditions to work.

It's hard think in dreams and live the real life. With a lot of work and lucky is posible achieve the dreams, for this reason I have had other related ideas, like work in the educational area or the musicology. 

post two: the best holidays

It's hard to choose one holyday, because I have had many awesome trips to awesomes places with incredibles people. Anyway, I'll choose one even though I am not sure if it's the best. 

This holyday was in the year 2010, just before my last year in the school. My two brothers, my father and me went to Perú. We travelled with the hope to know Inca's world, largely inspired in the album "Alturas de Machu Picchu" by the chilean group Los Jaivas, with lyrics wrote by Pablo Neruda. It was the soundtrak for all our trip.


I remeber some places that amazed me: in first place a I remember Cuzco, a beatiful city with a special color, like mix between brown and orange. In addition, it didn't have high-rise buildings, so it was see all the city. Although not everything was great, cause it's a very unequal and secreted socially, just one place of the city was for tourists, the place that is shown in the all photos. 

Other great place that stay near Cuzco and I didn't know was Moray. This site have Inca's ruins, these are like Inca's terraces circular-shaped built. 


Obviously we went tu Machu Picchu, the city of the sky. The pictures speak for itself.

post one: my dream country

The country that I'd like to visit is Iceland.

When I was in the school I knew a fantastic music group, it was Sigur Rós, and while I was falling in love with them I saw a documentary that made my heart explode, it's Heima. Heima is a movie about the return of Sigur Rós to their home, Iceland, after a long international tour. In this, they visit many towns unannounced and show variety of landscapes. Iceland is beautiful, I think that it likes me because there are giants mountains with ice, large lakes and many greens in diverse places, very similar to Chile.


Trailer of Heima (¡highly recommended!)
There are two other things that makes Iceland a great country. First, It is a home of the a great artist, I'm referring of Bjork and, in second place, it was land of the vikings. The vikings were awesome. In year 1000 approximately, they built a incredibles boats that impressed all Europa , these was Drakkar. Many europeans didn't believe that a boat could navigate across rivers and oceans, for they, it was one or other, not two at the same time.

Many times I dream about to go to Iceland to contemplate auroras borealis; a incredibles polar lights that appears in the sky. Hopefully someday I can see it.
