POST 3: My Dream Job

-

Hello! I forgot the "publish" button, so this blog was left in "draft" mode. Still I will leave it in its original version:

In this post I'll talk about my actual job, although I'm not sure it exists. I would like to be able to compose, but at the same time investigate, following the example of Gabriela Pizarro or Violeta Parra.

I imagine it with the possibility of traveling, getting to know and getting to know different musical styles, musical environments and musical subjects. To do this, I would currently need a PhD or a master's degree, but the possibility of knowing, understanding and talking to people seems more important to me. The salary worries me very little in this case, although it depends a lot on the projects in which one participates, it is not something that I consider relevant.

The music theory degree, thanks to its investigative approach, allows me to get closer to and learn about the world of research and composition. Still, I will need a postgraduate degree, which really exists, in composition. Thanks to that, it would have enough content, both intellectual and methodological, to be able to carry out this type of research.

Mainly, because of the cultural boom that Latin America suffered in those years, the heyday of literary groups, and the conflicts between them, the formation of the first national cinema, the first musical investigations. I would like to meet great exponents of contemporary art such as Luis Advis or Gustavo Becerra, Margot Loyola or María Luisa Bombal. Being able to understand the impact of artistic works such as Pablo Neruda's General Song or the emergence of Jazz in Chile, as well as being able to observe the cultural and social behavior of yesteryear. A "conventillo". I would not like to stay in this era, perhaps only look at it in passing, because although it was a fruitful cultural era, much of it was based on

My best concert: The Mars Volta (2023)

  On May 30 of this year, the Texan-Puerto Rican band The Mars Volta performed in Chile, at the Movistar Arena, for the first time alone. In 2010 he had presented himself with another musical project with Latin roots: Rage Against the Machine. The Mars volta are a band composed of Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedrix Bixler-Zavala, eclectic and hermetic by nature, difficult to classify into a single genre, aesthetic trend or particular style. Their songs and albums deal with cryptic, paranormal and psychedelic themes. They have become famous as a "cursed band" for having composed songs with a Ouija board brought from Jerusalem, translating poems from the Aramaic that the artifact contained and including them in their songs. This invoked spirit, called Goliath, is blamed for the death of his prodigious drummer a few years later, the suspension of multiple concerts due to strange electrical failures, the fall of the lighting scaffolding at a show, among other events that are difficu
