Learning Music

Since I was a little boy I was interested on music, at first I learn how to play the metallophone and learn about a few notes and rhythm. Then I joined a orchestra named Lil Orchestra that was make up from students, lil students from 8° or lower. In lil orchestra I learn about the pentagram and learned one song per week also I started to play the piano that was very similar to the metallophone but you have to play two melodies, the chords in one hand and the phrase in the other hand. Sometimes I wish I wouldn't let my piano lessons, I think if I would still play the piano I would be an expert by now. 

Later I started to play the guitar in my school, I started playing songs of The Clash, Iron Maiden and folklore of my country like Violeta Parra and Victor Jara, this ones were very easy for a beginner. I used a software called guitar pro 5 that show the tabs of a song and you can put play and start following the tablatures. With some friends I started a band, we played songs of the Sex Pistols, then the band mutate to Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam. We stopped playing because we didn't find the time to play ): 

Someday I would like to learn more about music and improvisation. Become an expert about guitar, piano and also drums.

Dance on fire as it intends

Music is your only friend

Cooking

I love cooking. Since I was a child I looked how the adults cook, most of all I watched Jani, my caregiver, and my mother, soon I started to create my own food dishes, like noodles with bread or strange drinks with lemon and salt hahaha... also I started, like all, making eggs, you can think it's easy but, to make them well and not dry you have to practice a little bit. Then I tried to make rice, I think is one of the most difficult food dishes, not even today I can make them as good as my mother's rice, the amount of water, the time, the garlic, the salt, there are to many factors in this recipe.

Now I like to invite friend to my home and cook togheter, sometimes I cook more than my invited but that's ok for me. This remember me to Hannibal lecter, when he invited people to his home and cook for them, but not pork neither chicken but human flesh! I love italian food, my favorite plate is lasagna, I cook it every year for my birthday but my speciality is gnochis, Jani taugth me that recipe. It's very tiring, first you have to peel potatoes, boil them, smash them, knead with flour and then make little masses, boil them again, clean all the mess and it´s not over yet, you have to make the sauce, and finally, you can eat, sometimes it take 2-3 hours of my life but it worth it.

Autocad, Pinterest and Archdaily.

Autocad is a software that I use to draw on my laptop, I draw plans, sections, elevations and axonometrics. I didn't know how to use many other softwares like sketch up or ilustrator so autocad is my expertise. I learned to use autocad on my second year at university when in workshop we had a unit about drawing and representation. I had to draw an existing house by a famous architect named Richard Meier, and the house it's called Shamberg House. 

                                               

At the beggining I found it very difficult and complex, there are a lots of commands that you need to mesmerize like trim, scale, move, rotate, undo, undo, undo, and undo, mistakes are common when you are drawing, but at the fifth hour of drawing it start to make sense and you become more handy and competent.

I use Autocad every week when I'm not on vacations because on workshop you have to show something new about the project every class. Sometimes I can spend all night on autocad trying to draw a plan or a section.

                                                    

When my mind goes blank, I search on Pinterest or Archdaily projects that are related to my ideas of what I'm doing and also about how to express something in the draw. At the beggining I only used pinterest to search things about architecture but now I use it to search about juicy plants, cactus and terrariums that is my new hobby.
