 All starts with this...

My first guitar. 

I remember when I was eleven years old, when that feeling came to my mind and body, I don't know how to explain it very well, but at that time, I really wanted to have a guitar in my hands, I wanted to feel the wood and the strings, I don't know, I never focused too much on the sound, instead, my desire was focused on the sensation with my body. 

My uncle gave me this guitar, now it is very dusty and has only three strings left, maybe someday I will take it to a luthier to have it repaired, for a symbolic question.

I don't use this guitar anymore, now I play more the piano and I have others guitars too. But all my artistic inclinations and decisions were built with my practice with this guitar. With it, I was able to express and feel without words and those sensations were too beautiful for me. I still play it because my friends and family likes the music, and I like it too, I really like the sound, it's calmer than the piano, easier to sing with it.

I think that, if in my life I had not had this instrument, maybe many things in the present might be different, well, you never know.

Memories of the past 

There are so many stories to tell 

Well, this is one of the first places I was able to visit after the harshest restrictions of the pandemic situation. 

The Botanical Garden of Viña del Mar 

This was when my girlfriend and I treated ourselves to a week-long trip to Valparaiso, my hometown.
We spent the whole week walking around and visiting different places, this was one of them. 
I don't remember who of the two of us took this picture, but I do remember that we were very tired from walking and walking.
We did this maybe in January or February of this year, I don't quite remember. 
We stayed at my grandfather's house in Valparaiso, in Cerro Las Canas. 

I like this picture because it brings back very good memories. Also, the botanical garden was a place I visited in my childhood, so, going there after many years, was a very nice experience.

My grandfather's house is now rented by a couple, since March I think. So, I don't think it will be as easy to go back, and stay as many days in Valparaiso as before. My grandfather really needs the money, and he will need it until he passes away I think. Also, my aunt and uncle, they are not very sensible people so, I bet the house will be sold in the future. 

At least, I have been able to enjoy it in its last days and enjoy my grandfather too, even if he wasn't a very good person in the past, it doesn't matter.

So many stories that come from one simple thing.

What are your dreams about?

Well, when I was a child, I was very interested in mysteries, in magical things that did not have a simple explanation. So, I really liked the mysteries of ancient egypt. Therefore, I wanted to be an archaeologist. And be right there.

But. ***I liked to draw too***

As I got older, I became more interested in things that I could experience, even at my young age. For this reason, when I had my first guitar, I had that inexplicable sensation in my body... After playing so many songs, I realized that I wanted to be able to make my own music and express myself as well, like the music of the composers that I played.

Thats why I choose musical composition.                                      

Anyways. ***I liked to draw too***

Parallel to this, I also wanted to be a detective... to contribute in a certain way to justice in the world. Catch the bastards by myself. Solve unsolved crimes. That kind of things.

My experience at the university has been varied, it is a long career after all. I had to go through many stages of my adulthood here. Good and Bad, thats life. 

What I will really like to work in, is in a big project. Like make music for films, video games, theatre... big projects that in genereal needs music composers.

However, what I want now, what I want most...

Is simply to live. 

Have a decent life with my loved ones. To be able to have my own family. Feel good about myself, with my emotions, my body, my desires, my mind, whit others. In short ... 

be a good person. Its so difficult dont you think?

Who im?

Hi, my name is David, im 26 years old. I lived since I was 11 year old in Santiago, but my hometown is Valparaíso, I was born there, on july 15, 1995.

My childhood was pretty good, even when we was poor. We never lacked food, but we didn't have any leftovers either. That kind of life pushes us to the capital, to get more oportunities. And it works. My basic studies went through six different schools because of this kind of things.

Im studying musical composition and I have learned much more tan I expected. I can link a lot of knowledge whit other things that I like to do.

About my family, I can say that I have a brother and a sister younger than me. I live with them and my parents. I can't leave my two dogs and my three cats behind. There is a cat for each sibling. Mine is called Ceniza. The good family friend who gave her to us, has too many beautiful animals, because my friend's mother is a veterinarian. 

I have not to much hobbies, but the few that I have, I take them very seriusly, because I like them so much. One is drawing. Since I had memory I been doing it. I hope to finish my own comic soon (I made all these drawings by myself). The another thing that I like to much to do, is martial arts of full contact. I have been training kick boxing since I was 15 years old, I have fought only 2 times, but as soon as the contingency allows it, I will fight more times. I keep up training in my home, punching the heavybag, jumping rope, doing some yoga to prevent injuries, running. I was being serious when I said that I take this seriously. 😅

To finish, im really keen on series, anime (japanese animations) and movies, there is many classics that I still want to see.

Well, thats all.

Greetings.
