Blog 4 - The best kind of music!

-

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog!

 

In this post, I would like to share with you about my fascination about music and what it means to me daily. To begin with, I have to say that music is everything to me, it represents the fuel for my entire mood and motivation to deal with all kinds of activities that I do in my daily routine. It can make me feel fully motivated, chilled, happy, focus, sad, nostalgic, which are just a few of the emotions that the music can generate on me.


Regarding this topic, I have to talk about BSO music, which basically means original soundtrack. It refers to the musical compositions made for audiovisual projects, such as videogames, series, animes, movies and so on and so forth, fulfilling a fundamental role in the setting and message that the work tries to convey to the audience.

My experience with the BSO music begins with videogames. I have played plenty since I was a child, with titles like The Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, Final Fantasy, among others. Those mentioned transmitted a unique atmosphere and identity that lasted until today. To mention some composers related to movies, it is easy to recognize the work of John Williams in Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter or Jurassic Park, who owns a trademark that needs just a few seconds to be recognized for everyone. Another legend of the BSO music is Hans Zimmer, whose discography involves works in movies, series and videogames, with masterpieces in titles like Inception, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Da Vinci's Code and Interstellar. Movies that hold their success largely to the musical setting that supports them.

Above proper names and great composers, the BSO music involves a display of a large amount of tremendously professional artists, that together get synchronized into a perfect musical precision of the highest level.

Currently, I have been listening a lot of BSO music related to anime, specifically the one carried out in Demon Slayer by Masaru Shiina and Attack on Titan by Hiroyuki Sawano, both are composers of sublime works that go beyond the audiovisual. Their music communicates endless emotions, which I totally recommend to appreciate if it calls your interest.

To conclude, BSO music portrays a huge number of feelings, messages and sensations that deserve to be appreciated as an imaginary trip that can be done with the whole experience itself through the games or just enjoying the music only.

So, tell me, do you remember some BSO that caught your attention or brought to you some memories? Let me know about it! I'll be attentive to your comments and opinions about it!

That's for today! Thank you for your time and see you next post!

    It's true that the music has such a fundamental role in creating the mood of a film, we often forget about this. 12 points = 7

Blog Post 8: Learning English in our times

 Firstly, the experience learning English at the University has been very positive and rewarding at the same time, since at the school, my learning process wasn't enough and I couldn't achieve the necessary skills. Most of the things I used to learn before going to the University were essentially self-taught. So, it has been a challenge for me to regain certain amount of knowledge as well as to be able to measure how much I know about English as a language.  Regarding the use of blogs, I believe it has been very interesting to read other people's opinions about various topics, having people commenting to your posts and replying back has been also very enriching. I also think that I have improved my writing skills, since in the last course, I didn't have the chance to practice them too much. One aspect of English that I need to improve, is the knowledge I have about grammar and the pronunciation of words. I think that an important change for me would be to travel abroad ...

Blog post 5 - My Future Job

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. In this fifth post I would like to talk about my future job as an architect. When I picture myself in my future job, I imagine being in a nice working environment, meeting kind co-workers as well as being personally true to myself and what I love. As an architect, I would like to be part of sustainable and environmentally well-managed projects in which I could be able to design and plan buildings that could both contribute and transform the existing damage to our natural resources. Along with that, materials that are massively useful in order to find confortable and well-qualified living spaces. In that sense, I would prefer working outdoors since it would allow me to be more connected to the building itself, not only through the design but also in the creation process of bringing a building to life and serve its purpose.

Blog post 7: Changes to my study programme - Architecture

Image
  Hello everyone! In this blog, I will be talking about what changes could be made to my study programme. Firstly, it's relevant to mention that I'm currently studying architecture, which similarly to design or geography, implies a constant mixture between theory and practice. The last ones being in many cases not totally productive since, most of the times, the hours taken to classes and study time are much more than the hours proposed in the first place. This issue has been more evident with the current online system. Requiring to be sited in our laptops the entire day and, as a consequence, limiting the performance that one could have in each subject and the necessary commitment to the contents.  In addition, an important aspect I think the University owes to the students, is the stance in regards to the technological changes in the use of computer programs. In this sense, each teacher has a different methodology, in which the use of programs is more or less required. This,...
