The Perfect Song


Hello!Today I would like to talk about "The" perfect song.I should say that "Moon River" composed by Henry Mancini and interpreted by the great Audrey Hepburn in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's is a perfect song for me and probably in the english list, the greatest I never get bored of this since the first time I heard  when i was watching the movie breakfast at Tiffanys years ago i got totally trapped but the history and the this song came in a simple perfect scene.Since then it became like anthem for me.not so much for the content of the liryc but for the song on itself,it is like a perfect lullaby that transport me  to a peacefull mood.my thing with this song today its related with my grandmother:In 2005 she was very illed for the first time has to stay at the hospital by urgency.and stay there for long weeks,sadly me and my family where here in Chile and she lived in the Unied States,only my dad was able to travel and stayed with her,since then I could talk to her by webcam , she was able to see us by the camera an talk, I used to be learning piano by that time so I rember played for her,someday she was not able to talk not even wake up a Little to watch the computer, but was able to hear,so I started to send her songs that i like, by that time I meet this lullabay and I send her, my dad said she got happy to listen it,because she recognized the song that probably knew long time ago..Few weeks later she pass away, and here in chile whe made a ceremony there was a lot a lot of people. me and my brothers made a video of pictures of her and all of this people that lover her to much and one of the soundtrack was this song.and since all this the song will always remind me my grandmother she used to have also a sweet voice like Audrey and transported me to a peaceful mood,I can imagine her singing it,so I never doubt to listen this song when I feel sad and also when im happy and greatful.

A video that I like

  • Hi everyone! I will talk to you about a music video that I like.This video is from a indie rock band called Grizzly Bear and the song of the video is called Ready Able.I saw this video for the firt time a few years ago and I got  absolutly trapped by it and also by the song. This video was made with the animation technique of stop motion that is use to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own.The results are amazing considering the simple of the procedure,I made a little stop motion project for the school and its very fun and easy to make,.The thing with this specific stop motion its that they used plasticine and some few other materials to make the whole video so the figures are always transforming and mixing their colors to create a new figure.all this guided by a very flowing melodie.I think is a very great job thats why I have search for more of its director called :Allison Schulnik and found a lot more amazin videos .I like his work also because he kind of mix sometimes creepy figures like clowns o weird faces with a lot of color and light very much like grizzly bear music seems to me like a perfect mixture of this two atmospheres they also have a lot of great videos made by other directors all very creative and alucinant.

Cheers!

:::Career related article::

Hi everyone !
Today i will write about a online database that conects the knowledge of geographers ,engineers,and artist.
This database is called "Placing Literature" and  is an online database of places from scenes in literature  sourced and plotted by readers and researchers. Created by an author, a geographer and an engineer, the goal of Placing Literature is to connect readers to the places they are reading about, highlighting the meanings, values and emotions attached to a space. Particularly, in this case, the meanings and values created by the author and experienced by the reader.

I think this is a very good example of what I like and what I think is great of this career which is to have the tools to be able to work with such a different areas as plastic art and literature and by this create something useful for society .it have been always interseting for me the way that the expression of every culture are so much related to their geography and i believe that projects like these helps us to expand ,create and recreate the rich part of our culture.I also like to much to read,is another way of travel and visit places.

I recomend you to visit the website and be part of this!
Cheers

A country I would like to visit

Hi everyone today I will talk about a country that I would like to visit.
First of all, I should say that over a one only conutry I would like to visit, and travel through all of this continent:America .By know this its  kind difficult to get in a short period so i have propose to myself travel every year to a different country, by know i have been already in :Paraguay,Uruguay,Argentina,Bolivia,United states.So my next countries on the list are: Peru, and Ecuador.Peru means a lot for me beacuse i have been recentlyvery close to its culture trough its dance and music.i have discovered a very rich culture that its very related to the culture here in Chile but it seems like they have enjoyed and lived it way much more than us.Anyhow I would like to visit Peru because of its culture and this is  related to its history, in Peru where developed one of the most ancient and powerful civilizations of the continent .Actually: The Inca empire was the largest empire in pre Columbian America..This means a lot for me and encourages me to know more of its territory,people,history,culture,landscapes,ruins,their geography.
