One subject

 

One subject that I am quite satisfied with this semester is learning to use an open source program to create visual objects. This program (and subject) is called Processing. Although the objective of the program is for educational purposes, it is widely used to make artistic works with or without audio. In my case, I have had to create an audiovisual work linking this program with another one for audio editing, and it has been a very good experience, especially because I don't have to use anything other than the computer, which is according to my comfort. In addition, despite being an online semester, the subject works very well online, since you are learning how to use a program, so you just have to share the screen and see how some things work. On the other hand, it has been a lot of work, since I have had to learn programming languages, things with which I had little contact since my career is musical, however, the direction that music is taking is interesting when using this type of means to make artistic works.

Changes to my study programme

My actual subjects are musical composition, musical electroacustical, musical analysis, electroacoustic analysis, instrument (piano) and English. My workload is not so much in terms of horary of my studies, but in the level of deepening of all subjects. This is because, being the last year and the last semester of my career, we must have independence and liberty for investigate them. This year, the subjects have worked very acceptable, because they are not request a strict presence to work, and my teachers have been able to work without problems in terms of technology. Now, in case of instrument, although it is work, it is not efficient yet, there is difficulties in the details.  For me, the faculty has the minimal conditionals for work, for example, there are many instruments, but the most of them are in very bad shape: some pianos have not keys or strings, or the study rooms have not a good reverb, etc. About the building, well, it is not nice, is ugly and a little grisly, but th...

An admirable person

Imagen
Ludwig van Beethoven was a German composer and pianist, considered one of the most important in the history of music. He is one of the members of the First Vienne School together with Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Mozart, who together are a pillar for future composers. His work has consisted of numerous works for different instruments and ensembles. In addition, he has had a remarkable development throughout his life in terms of trying to take compositional possibilities further. Why I like it has to do with his compositional decisions. The way he sees sounds and arranges them I find satisfactory, in addition, the character he has when writing dynamics I think that speaks a lot about his personality. He is very impulsive and contrasting, which gives life to his music. Regarding the latter, it is noted a difference of his contemporary musicians and their ancestors, (who were not bad at all, quite the contrary, they were geniuses) in Beethoven there is an uprising of paradigms, for exa...

English Language Challenges

 Well, I had bad luck, because the curriculum of my career had changes while I was on it. I should have taken English in my fourth year, and by the problems, I had to take it in my two last years. In this way, I could had have more interest on the past because I was ready for learn new things. Well, this don't mean that I don't had interest and motivation for English. For example, the first year I was a good student, and I had a frequent participate. I think was this year the problem because the pandemy and because this is my last year. As I said in beginning, bad luck.  About the posts, in generally, I like write my thoughts, so it was nice. In beginning I didn't have motivation, but after yes. I think that I need more apply the English on my vocabulary musician, because I think that will serve in the future. That don't mean that the English basic is wrong, I think that is the most important thing in the beginning. Honestly, I don't use very much the English outsid...
