Post Rock Music

Hi, today I will talk about the post rock music and one of my favorite band. This kind of music has many characteristics. For example the sound incorporates characteristics from a variety of musical genres likes Jazz, electronic, ambient and experimental. The compositions often make use of repetition of musical motifs and subtle changes with an extremely wide range of dynamics. The vocals aren`t so important, the most important is the music. But when vocals are included, the use is typically non-traditional. For example some post-rock bands employ vocals as purely instrumental efforts and incidental to the sound. They are so many post rock bands, but they are untitled. The most important band or the most famous exponent is “Sigur Ros”. They are from Iceland. Their music has a combination between ambient and rock sound, like guitar, bass. Their albums are so beautiful, I like listen it in my long travels, when I can see the landscape out side, through the window. 

In the concert

Hi, today i’m going to talk about a Concert i went to, from a rock band named The Kills, formed by American singer Alison Mosshart and his guitarist Jamie Hince. The concert was in October of the last year, in Teatro Providencia. The show started at 9:30 in the evening and it last 2 hours long.  The first album that i listen was Midnight Boom, and i liked the rythm of it, that is a mixture of electronic beats, solo guitars  and  ironic lyrics.

The concert began with the song Future Starts Slow, and all the people was excited. Also, there was a lot of diferent type of people, like young boys and girls, hipsters, alternative old people,  and more. I felt out of place because me and my friends don’t belong to any subculture or music style. The singer has a personal style like punk-rock, with red hair and leotard leggins, and the guitarist looked likea hippie rock cool man. I personaly think that he’s a very good looking man, and very talented to. Also the stage was decorated with leotard prints and  a lot of candelabra lamps.

I think the concert was very good, but it past so fast. The sound system was excellent because it was envolving, so you can hear it without interferences or disgusting noises. At the end, i experienced a great moment with my friends because we share good time together, having the oportunity to see a band that, i think, will surprise us with more unexpected new albums.

Autobiography

Hi, my name is Andrea Soto Rubio. I define myself as friendly. Now I will tell you quickly a little history about my life. I´m from Navidad, a small village on the coast of the sixth region, but I was born in Santiago on October 30 at the clinic “Las Lilas”.
My mother was very young in that moment, she was 17 years old. From 5 to 14 years old I had a happy life living whit my parents, but when I have 14 years old I moved to Santiago to study. Then at 18 years old I went to study Design at the University of Valparaiso for one year and I return to Santiago to continue Graphic Design in Universidad Arcis. I studied there for two years and leave it for several problems.

Then I started to study Teoria e Historia del Arte  and now i’m in my third year. The last year my mother surprised me whit a beautiful little brother. It was my responsability his name, and I called him Gaspar. He’s the best thing that could have happened to me in the last period of my life. It is surprising because we have a difference of 24 years old, and because he is my only brother. I´m so happy with him.

David Lynch

Hello Everyone!! Today I’m going to talk about some David Lynch films. He’s from EE.UU and he was born on 1946. He’s also director and producer, photographer, composer and graphic artist. His movies are very strange, helped by the music of Angelo Badalamenti, who works whit him in all his movies, and always have a surrealist scene. Most of his films talks about the American society.
Well, the first movie i saw was “Mulholland Dr”, starring by Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring. it`s a strange movie because it talks about two stories, and two girls with different names in that stories. This great movie don`t have just one theory, but the most popular is that talk about two parts of the film. The first part would be a dream, and the second part would be the reality, then you can understand all movie. You should see it!

Other great movie than you can see is call “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me”. This film was the prequel of the tv-serie call “Twin peaks”. It`s about a girl named “Laura Palmer” (starring by Sheryl Lee) and this movie tells the story before her death. Shows us the places that Laura Palmer visited and her friendships (The tv-serie “Twin Peaks” began with her lifeless  body).
The most understandable movie of Lynch is “The Straight Story”, i like it so much because it’s based on the true story of Alvin Straight's journey across Iowa and Wisconsin on a lawnmower. Alvin go to visit his brother before he dies. Is a beautiful films and his music is so exciting.
