What do I plan for my next vacations?

I'm tired of the university. Right now the only thing that I can think about is in the vacations coming soon. I plan to work on January to get enough money to travel and do all the things I want to. I'm making a mental countdown to live another version of Woodtaco Festival, near of Curicó in Maule te first week of the next year. Is a three days camping music event with fives stages along a mountain, thousand of people sharing and enyoing together in a general community mood. I go since 2013 and every year I have more fantastic storys to tell.

Also with some friend we have already bought plane tickets to Calama cause we pretend to visit San Pedro de Atacama on February. I'm preparing myself to get some LSD below that perfect sea of stars in Valle de la Luna. After that we pretend to get a tour on Uyuni's Salar, Bolivia. That's all we have planned yet, but probably we go on travel on Bolivia too. 

But that's not all, cause I think that it's not a perfect summer if I don't visit Parque Inglés in Siete Tazas National Reserve, Maule. That's the place I enjoy every year with my friends, where I set free my soul and renew my energies too. Below there's a picture of me smiling in this place, cause is the only thing I can do there.

LOST

Well, today i'm gonna write about my favorite series in the whole life: LOST.

what is about? Lost is an american series that combine action, suspense, mistery, drama and sci-fi. The story followed the lives of the survivors of a planecrash on a mysterious tropical island. There, they had to handle with an unknown monster, an unpredictable group of prior ocupants and a lot of unexplicable things as they tried to survive and attract rescue.

Lost was created by Jeffrey Lieber, J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof, was produced by Bad Robot Productions, and was filmed almost entirely on location in Hawaii.

The story show the story in different lines of time using the present time for tell the survivor stories and also flashbacks to get deep into the life before the island of every character. Since season three the whole temporally turns variable -cause of something in the story- and it start to appear also flashforwards that explain what's going on in the future.

I like this show because it set a precedent in the way way that tells the story; the multiple characters stories are all connected by a bigger trama. Since the first episode (1x01 Pilot) Lost raises questions in the audience that have to take an active role in the construction of reality in the series.

down here a video of five epic moment of this show, enjoy it!

THIS IS MY FAVORITE PICTURE!

It was took by one of my closest friends, Josefo, who share with me the passion and love for the nature and doing trekkig. This pictures was in the Huerquehue National Park, is located in the foothills of the Andes, in La Araucanía region in southern Chile. Is a place near to Pucón and Villarrica.

That day we walk almost four hours up the hills to get some wonderful views of the lakes between the woods, the perfect sky and the mountain cover by a perfect layer of snow. Then, after a long road we came into the El Toro lake, where the whole wonderfull landscape reflect in the water making a singular illusion. It was just magic, all the tiredness worth it in that moment. Definitly one of my favorite moments in life and cause of that one of my fauvorite pictures too. I hope to come back one day to do another route in the same park named San Sebastian, that reach the top of the highest hill and allow you to see a line of volcanoes named El cordón de fuego.

Music is essential,

this is how i'm gonna start my post.

music had the power of make us feel thousand thing at time, to teleport us into another universe just putting on play. cause that's what it is, little perfect universes in every song. We choose, maybe not intencionally, our sountrack of life everyday when we walk, on the shower, in the car, in a party and everywhere. One second I could be on a Mogwai's dark ambiental post-rock and the next one could be dancing on Beyoncé's hits. 

I've been the last 4 years of my life discovering, searching, questioning and trying to understand how the music works, how it can be create and why it means so much in my -and others- life. After all I understood that although the music industry has evolved to a level that almost everything is thinked like a product that could make money it still being a industry of feelings. Musician makes our feeling be touched by their music, we turn happy, sad, melancholy or euphoric. Cause it doesn't matter what kind of music do you like, that's just a matter of taste, you can't deny the fact that music makes the world brighter and better.

MINI LAUNCHKEY

Two months ago I bought a midi controller that allow me use production's programs as Ableton or Cubase easily. Its a mini keyboard with 16 color-lights pads along the top, which you can use to launch clips and play beats pre-programed on the computer, also you can easily tweak your instruments using eight high-quality knobs. 

I found it in offer on a online shop, it coast me half of the original price. I felt it was a revelation on my way the day I found it cause I was expecting so much time before for something like that to put on wheels some things I've been planing for my future. So, I didn't even hesitate and bought it the same day. 

I use it everyday since the day I got it in my hands. I've been working on differentes proyects trying to understand the way that it works and how the hardware play on the software. 

It has been a revelation, cause now I cant materialize so much things that I had in my head spinning around for years. So, one or two hours daily I play the keys and let my imaginations flow. Who knows, maybe one day you can hear too something made by me.

This semester

In this post I wanna talk about my academic semester. I have four subjects this semester, the first one that i like the most is Radial Production. I like this subject cause it allow me to work with the most important thing in my life: music. Doing production I can use any song as sound base or separator, also work with effects and everything I need to make a radio program work.

The second subject is Audiovisual Realization, in this we learn how to work with audiovisual material, to do videos, to edit sound and to make full story based on the dramaturgy. It is designed from a television perspective.

The others two subjects are Cultural Studies and Research Process. The first one combines a variety of politically engaged critical approaches drawn from and including semiotics, Marxism, feminist theory, critical race theory. And the second one is about the whole process to make a comunication investigation, since the methodological design until the hypothesis approach.

I just feel motivated by the radio and tv signatures but i'm sure i will learn a lot of interesting things in the other ones. 

Hieeee.
My name is Matías. I'm 21 years old but I feel even younger. Aries. I came from Curicó, but right now I'm living and studing in Santiago. What do I study? Journalism, meh. I like it even when I know that I really would like to be learning other things too. It's a dinamic career that would allow me to work in the differents things that I like: photography, writing and audiovisual.

I also would define me as a music lover. Since i was a little boy i felt connected with the rythms, melodies and lyrics. So, i've been growing with it and also my feelings about it. I've been throug everything: reggaeton, pop, edm, house, rock, r&b, jazz, blues, soul and bossa nova.

I like to play the guitar, its somehow liberating. Right now I'm learning the piano, the musical composition's process and the production. I would like to improve my experience with the music to another level. From a outsider of the music industry as a consumer to a creator that be able to produce all those ideas that has been playing in my head for years.

and yes, i'm not looking for something more than happinness. Hope you're doing it too.
