  My dream job The truth is that as a music student I would love to be able to make a living from this. It is a little overwhelming to know that the possibilities of this profession are few in the workplace. However lately I have been doing well and for the first time I have been paid decently for composing twice this year and I have recently won an award for composing other music. This has motivated me a lot and even though it seems difficult, I see it as possible to make a living from this. I know it's complicated, but I think that if I make an effort it can be done. Still, it would be great to make a living from composition, but it's not the only thing I would like to dedicate myself to, because sometimes I get bored talking only about music and the truth is that I do too many other things to just dedicate to this. I am also a tattoo artist, so I would also like to dedicate myself to this at the same time as I dedicate myself to composition. At the moment my dream job is to ...

The Best concert I have ever seen  I think it's difficult for me to choose the best concert I've ever been to. I have been to many, but maybe I could choose one of the most memorable, maybe not because of its quality or because of what artist it was but rather because of what it means to me.  First of all, the first massive concert I went to was Iron Maiden in 2004. At that time I was 13 years old and I attended that concert as a teenage fan of that band. As a show, it wasn't the best, but I certainly enjoyed it to the fullest. The other memorable concert I went to was radiohead 2009 at the national stadium athletic track. It was incredible and for many it is synonymous with envy, because I was lucky enough that concert was supported by Kraftwerk, so having those two bands in the same concert is undoubtedly something unusual. So defining which of all the concerts I have gone to is complicated, because they are all different, but I have enjoyed them all very much.

I would like to go to the future. I imagine the future as a dystopic situation. I feel curiosity about the future, so I would like to go. I think that the future would be dark, maybe. I don't feel hope in the human being, and I know that the future is uncertain and chaotic, maybe. I would like to go, maybe 1000 years in the future to see how the world and technology have evolved. I am curious about space, I imagine that in that amount of time, there will be much more knowledge of what exists out there, and perhaps the technology to travel to space will exist. I'm really afraid of the future; I imagine it as a scenario like the Japanese cyberpunk movies, Akira or Ghost in the Shell, but I'm curious to know what will I'm curious to see the changes that all knowledge could have on society. Perhaps we will become dependent on artificial intelligence as in Asimov's novels. I'm curious to know how these changes will alter our way of thinking. I imagine that the migra...

 A country I would like to visit is Thailand. Ten years ago I met a person from Chiang Mai and we became friends. That day I discovered this country and later I saw many youtube videos about Thai culture and I was fascinated. Thailand is a country from Southeast Asia and its capital is Bangkok. The weather is tropical and the religion is Budhism. Thailand is a monarchy but now the military have political power, so this country is a dictatorship. The Thai king is the most rich monarch in the world. The Thai beach is a very famous, and obviously I would like to visit this place, but the place that I really would like to visit are temples, the Thai fields and mountains.  I would like to go on vacation and maybe spend a long time there, if I get a musical job it would be great, but live for ever I dont know.  I hope to visit this country when I finish this career, so I hope to visit it in two years but I need a lot of money. 

  The person that I feel admiration   When I was a child the weird sound caught my attention. Usually I listened to rock music or classical music, but my always I imagined other sounds. I composed not knowing anything about music, but I tried. My first year in the sound engineering studies I discovered a lot of music, music that was weird for me, but every day I liked it more. Someday I listened to Bjork, and my vision of music changed. Her music is like a perfect combination between classical, jazz or minimalism music and the electronic device. Her voice is exotic and unusual and this combination is perfect. Bjork ir a musical artist. from Iceland and she was born in 1965. In her early years he sang in punk rock bands. Bjork is, maybe the most brave pop artist and I feel that she doesn’t´t have fear in exploring any music to a make her own music. She has used elements from electronic music, minimalism, classical, popular, contemporary and any more. So, for me she is a pe...

My favorite gadget is my modular synthesizer. Is an analogue devide that sends electric impulses to later convert this signal to sound. A modular system is a personalized instrument, any modular system is not equal to other. So its sound is unique.  The synthesizer is a instrument that was born in the 60's. The first device were too expensive and big. This instrument sent a basic impulse to later make complex sounds. Many bands have a recorded with this instrument: Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, NIN and more. I have a oscilator, a reverb, delay, amplifier, quantizer, mixer, ADSR and others.  The oscilator sends a signal that we can't hear, so we need a amplifier to hear a basic wave. We need cables to comunicate others modules and later complexify this sound. We call this communication "patch". So, I have a fun moment when I play my synth. I hope you liked it. Thank you for reading.
