 The fugue The fugue is a method of composition from the baroque period. This style of composition was very used by Bach, even, we can say that he is the best composer using the fugue. Some composers in the history have changed the rules of fugue like Alberto Ginastera, Astor Piazzolla, and others latin american composers. One day my teacher said me "the fugue is the harder test for a composer". In my opinion he is right and at the same time it is very relative. I choose this topic because i am always trying to compose a fugue, sometimes i try to make an traditional fugue but is very useful to study some modern fugues. This method is really important to me because with this technique you can make a big song just using a small material like a seed. This is a fugue analysis. If you are interested about it, i recommend you to listen "the art of fugue", "fuga con pajarillo", "Misterio y fuga" and "Fantasia and fugue in C minor". Enjoy it!  ...

The electric instruments  My favorite piece of technology is the electric guitar, but specifically my guitar, of course, hahahah. The electric instrument made a revolution in the arts in the 20th century. For example, in the 80's so many musicians could create very different music because the new keyboards and synthesizers. I use my electric guitar every single day. I remember when my parents gave it to me in the beach for my birthday, that day i was all day in my room, i couldn't go to the sea because that guitar made fall in love. The electric guitar can make a lot of different sound, you can change the volume, gain, bass, middle, high of the sound. Also you can use some effects with the amplifier, like distortion, chorus, flanger, wah wah and others. In my opinion, today so many people are using more some synthesizers than the electric guitar for that kind of effects, but the guitar was the "big papa" in the 20th century.

When i was a child i wanted to be a graphic designer. I spent all the time drawing and its very funny, because i created my own characters and they were demonds hahaha.  Before to study music composition, i thought to study physics, i really enjoyed that classes at school. But at same time is very important to have a good mathematical logic when you are studying music.  At the end i decided to study my current career because i enjoy composing more than anything else in my life. My experience at the university is really good, but i think that i sometimes learn more reading and investigating on my own. I have a million of really nice books and half of those are written in english. In the future i would like to work making music for tv and movies, but i really wish to be a university professor also. I love to teach and talk about harmony, orchestration and composition. 

  Do you know why i love this picture? because its the sea, but at the same time it looks like the foam of the beer. This picture shows what i like the most, beach and beer.

I study musical composition at the university and my career is at the same time my best hobby. I started to play the guitar when i was 11 years old and I really love to play Blues and Jazz music. But curiously, at the moment that i have to compose, most of time i compose classical music for orchestra and others ensembles.
