Postgraduates Studies

Imagen
The truth is that there was a moment in which I considered doing a postgraduate degree, more specifically in physics, but I realized that if I did it I would only do it for the pleasure of learning something that I like and that it would not contribute much to the work development I am looking for, and if we consider that there may be a lot of mathematics involved, I may not like doing that postgraduate degree so much, so that idea is a bit discarded for now. At some point I thought that the best time to do a graduate degree was immediately after finishing my degree, however, on second thought I think it is best to take some time to work on what your undergraduate degree allows you to relate to the work environment, raise money, and reconsider whether it is worth spending time and money on that graduate degree. The truth is that I never considered how expensive it can be to study a graduate degree, and not only because of the price of it, because for example, I would like to do it at t...

Academic challenges for 2021

Imagen
  Like many people, I found it difficult to learn through online classes, it is difficult to keep your attention on a screen, and even more so when the course is not of interest to you. However, my biggest challenge has been to have real contact with the course. The theoretical courses are isolated in numbers, and the practical courses technically stopped being practical. This was definitely what I have disliked the most in the last two years. Not being able to confirm my love for the career has made me doubt my academic decision a lot.  To my luck I have had professors who have awakened interest in the subject through theory, or the possibilities that may exist in the world of sound. On the other hand, I have been forced to learn about sound by other means. just for not having the opportunity to go to live events, I have spent many hours in streaming and audiovisual media, where I think I'm learning on my own, and that while not strictly related to sound, it gives me joy to d...

My dream job

Imagen
Some time ago I saw a documentary about the tour of a comedian that I like a lot, "edo caroe". In this documentary Eduardo travels on his motorcycle throughout Chile doing stand-up in bars and theaters while getting to know the different places and sharing with his work team. After seeing this dynamic I was fascinated with the idea of traveling and working. I definitely wouldn't be doing stand up because my jokes are very bad, but that's where my interest in traveling and working at the same time was born. On the other hand, a few years ago I met a sociologist who used to travel around rather rural places collecting stories and songs that he really called popular music, what we understand as folklore. He told me very heartwarming stories of how all the stories connected as I listened to them. I realized that's what I wanted for myself, to get to know different ways of life as I traveled, that would be a perfect job for me. I would like to do a podcast interviewing...

The role of technology in my profession and life

Imagen
  My relationship with technology is a bit weird. I understand and enjoy technology and its advancements, but I get frustrated very easily if something goes wrong. Especially with computers, I love them even though they stress me, lately I spend all day using the computer, but when a task does not work out as I want, I get angry very easily. oh and that's another thing, my career depends a lot on technology, therefore I constantly have to be doing tasks on the computer for a couple of hours. you will understand that resting in the same place where I work tires me a lot and makes me want to throw everything away and be a hermit (Im exaggerating of course) As I said before, my career depends a lot on technology, it is based on enriching or supporting artists through artifacts. Well, it's a bit broader than that, but we basically make things sound good, and as in any field where technology is involved it can get a little morally ambiguous. An example of this would be to make someo...

The best holiday

Imagen
  I honestly do not remember the trips I've made, and I havent went a concert that i remember especially fondly, but maybe I can talk about my most recent trip that otherwise was the first trip I made by myself Although we had already talked about this, one day out of nowhere my cousin wrote to me inviting me to his house. My cousin lives in the fourteenth region of Chile, in Valdivia. As I was excited about the invitation, I planned everything to leave as soon as possible.  As soon as I could, I took a bus from Santiago to Valdivia. It was almost 2000 km and it took more than 10 terrible hours by bus, I could not sleep at all, and to make matters worse, when I arrived I got lost and had to walk for an hour at dawn, but it was worth it to at least get to know the streets of Valdivia. Perhaps what defined the trip was the way of life my cousin had. He's vegan, and everything he does orbits around an eco-friendly way of life. Most of the time I spent there was helping in their e...
