POST 8 - A Subject you enjoy studying

During this semester my favorite subject was Orchestration. Undoubtedly.

Well actually the line of orchestration has always been my favorite thema of my career. This consists of learning about the different instruments of the orchestra, their physical and acoustic characteristics, as well as the way in which they have been used throughout history. With this we manage to learn how we can write a good and coherent work for orchestra, where all the instruments are perfectly written or, on the other hand, we can transform a small piece into an orchestral type.

During classes we do various things; We analyze scores by various composers and review the topics we are learning in that particular case, we also carry out activities that consist of converting pieces of one, two or three instruments into orchestral works and we review our successes and weaknesses during class.

It is my favorite theme, because I believe that the orchestra is the most powerful instrument of all, I think that it is infinite and vast in terms of what it can deliver, it is unlimited and it can be sweet as well as rude. I hope to get out of this career dominating the orchestration to the fullest.

POST N°3 - My favourite piece of technology

Imagen
 My favorite piece of technology is not something too modern, I've been thinking about it for a while, and I think I'll choose the bike; a really practical and simple tool. I learned to handle it at the age of five and since then I have never stopped using it. I have always considered the bicycle the vehicle par excellence, since it is cheap (compared to other vehicles), it is ecological, does not require much maintenance or license to operate, and also, due to its mechanical system of operation, it is a good tool to exercise. Its operation is simple, greased chains move through two pedals, these they rotate a pair of wheels located one in front of the other. It depends on the type of bike they have different types of brakes and gears. Because I live in a commune far from my university and the places I frequent it is not my main means of transportation. For me it is a recreational instrument with which I disengage for a while from the univers...

BLOG 3 - The Role of Technology in my Profession and Life

Imagen
In general, for me, technology outside the professional field is not the most important thing, as long as it serves me for my social networks, to communicate and for leisure it is enough. Now, with my professional interests, things are very different. I like to compose and produce music for audiovisual media; cinema, television, video games, etc. For this, the most important tool and therefore my favorite is the computer. During the past year I decided to build my own computer. For this I saw many videos on the internet where I learned about each of its components; hard drive, motherboard, ram, processor, etc. Next, I have to install a DAW on my computer, a program for recording audio and also for creating data with digital sounds (MIDI). Thanks to these digital sounds, I can realistically have a large orchestra at my fingertips without having to pay a single musician. Now the only thing missing is to have a good external audio card to which to connect different controllers, instrument...

BLOG 2 - The Best Concert/Holiday Ever...

Imagen
Today I am going to talk about my favorite concert. I don't think I have photos from that day as it was a long time ago, but I will use photos from the show in general. This was the year 2012 when I was almost 14 years old: The Wall, by Roger Waters. That day we arrived early, after lunch time. I was with my father "en cancha". There were many people of all ages and on the stage there was a small wall half built. At about nine in the afternoon the show began with the first song on the album: In the flesh, which ended with a plane that crossed the entire stadium until it crashed on the stage. From there, each of the songs in the musical followed one another, and with it different types of fireworks, giant puppets, huge balloons shaped like pigs, monsters and political allegories.   The last song was The Trial, one of my favorites, where the monsters that appeared there were projected on an already completed wall. Finally the wall is destroyed in front of everyone and the c...
