A walk i would like to do again

The place where I live is at the mountain feet, in La Reina. It’s a very quiet place. A mixture between rural and residential city with forest elements. It´s such a welcoming area that I love living in there. Before I started studying architecture I had much more free time to spare and one of my favorite activities to do was taking long walks around the area, usually at nighttime because I think night’s beauty is unbeatable. I could take walks for hours and every time I did it I listened to kind of moody or spacey music at the same time, I listened to quite a few full albums. My favorite artists to listen on those walks were Opeth, Anathema, Eloy, My Dying Bride, God Is an Astronaut, Agalloch, etc... These walks along with the music allowed my stream of thoughts flow on its own and I could think about the future, the past, who I wanted to be, what my life has been until now, every sort of questions.

It was just me alone with my mind and the music while I went through foresty landscapes, everything seemed to be so magical and perfect at the time of those walks that I never wanted them to finish, I wish those moments were suspended in time forever. I think I found some sort of true happiness on those walks which I took like 3 times a week on average.

Now that I started studying I never find time to do those kind of walks again, and that makes me very sad, because it was a part of me, I kind of needed those walks to feel satisfied. At least now I know that the next time that ill be able to take one of those walks I will appreciate even more so that is a good point on waiting hahaha. Here i´l leave some of the songs I enjoyed listening during those walks :)

Something i would like to learn

Since I was very young, about 5 or 6 years old, I have been deeply interested in music. I could sit down for hours just to listen to Los Jaivas, a Chilean band that I loved. I´ve learnt to play electric guitar at the age of eleven, then bass and now piano, but I have always wanted to learn to play drums, I’ve been fascinated by drums since the first time I listened to Los Jaivas, but I have not had the opportunity to learn because of different reasons, first of all, they are way too expensive. Keeping the drum kit under good care is expensive, replacing parts and stuff like that, plus, every time you need another tom or plate it costs a fortune. The other reason is the noise, my neighbors already hate me for playing guitar too loud, so if I had a drum kit I would be kicked out of where I live hahaha. The difficult part of playing drums is that you have to develop the ability to split your brain into many fragments and each of those fragments has to think for its own, because you need to lead a different rhythm with each one of your limbs. Keeping up with the tempo is the fundamental thing to do when you play drums, that’s a bit difficult for me since I never practice with a metronome when I play guitar, my bad there haha. A drummer is like the heartbeat of any music band, so it´s not an easy task to play drums, it requires lots and lots of practice and patience. My drumming influences are quite diverse since I listen to a lot of different music genres, from prog rock and jazz fusion to extreme forms of metal. I couldn’t say who is my favorite drummer but here are some of the ones I like the most.
