Blog 3 - Headphones

Imagen
One the most important gadgets in my everyday, are the headphones. With them I listen music, and I have my online-classes by Zoom. Headphones are essential for my work, because sometimes I need to listen what am I composing. Actually at the moment I am composing a work called "sound-theater". The work it´s about "music for theater", a adaptation of the work "Los Invasores". The music is created with a software called "Adobe Audition", were I can mix up, synthesize, and manipulate the sounds objects. For this reason its fundamental to listen each detail of the sound with my headphones, and in this way to choose, to modificate, to eliminate what is necessary. On the other hand, I use the headphones to listen the music that I like. I couldn´t listen to an orchestra piece on the stereo, as it would disturb the neighbors. The best thing that I can do is to close my door, to turn off the lights, to think about nothing, and to put play the music.

But I couldn't have done this without the help of Friedrich Nietzsche, wo gave me the impuls and "the will to power" to carry out my life decision. My three passions are: to compose music, to read philosophy and poetry and to l...

Hi dear all! I would to talk to you about my last musical premier: "Siete temples". It was released in January of this year for the “XX Festival de Música Contemporánea de la Universidad de Chile”, with the interpretation of Andrés Maupoint at the piano and Carolina Muñoz in the soprano voice.  “Siete temples” means seven moods, that are musically shaped through seven pieces. Since the medieval conception of music as “doctrine of the affections”, going to romanticism and its conception of music as a “sublime expression of the human feelings”, until the contemporary music (Neue Musik) whit ist stamp of being “mysterious and unknown”, I seek to create sensations in the listener that are linked to his affective temper. For this, it is necessary that the interpreter to be completely absorbed in the piece, thus creating an atmosphere of fluidity and energie. In sensitive times, nothing is better than “temper” our spirits with New Music. Since...
