Why did I choose my major?

When I was a child my dream job was to be bus driver or athlete. I remember that I usually played to be a bus driver on my bike and I did trips from Santiago to Concepción.


In my mom's house there was a guitar. I tried every day, but I never thought about studying music. My mom wanted that I studied piano so she tried to pay for piano classes.

My first career was sound engineering, but I felt dissapointed about my future. I studied for 3 years and I finished all mathematics subjects, so finally I abandoned that career and  decided to study composition. Why composition? Because Im a nerd person and I wanted to learn how to compose my own music.

My experience in university has been sweet and sour. It is a long career, this is my seventh year studing in this faculty, so I started to feel bored, but I have had many good experience, and I feel that I learned a lot.

My dream job

  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 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...

I would like to go to the future

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...
