Brief comment of a reader

"De los diversos instrumentos del hombre, el más asombroso es, sin duda, el libro."                                                                                          Jorge Luis Borges       Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. In this occasion I'm going to talk (just a little) about of one of the most awesome and important inventions of the human history, the book. Borges says in his famous conference "El libro", that the book (in contrast with all the others inventions that are extensions of the human body), is an extension of the memory and imagination. For me, to read is not too different from to live. I believe that when we read, we have the possibility of recreated or revived the different scenes or images of a text. In the Iliad, for example, We can fight and died with Hector.    I buy books very usually because I like to read all the days, preferentially in the afternoon or in the night.

Why I'm an artist

 Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. In this occasion I'm going to talk about why I'm studying violin.  First of all, it is good to clarify that I'm the only musician in my family and I discovered music for coincidence. This happened some years ago, and I was in the school at that time.

I was very amazed for the orchestra (I didn't know that exist a professional orchestra in Concepción, and never before I listened to one live), and particularly for the violin; I loved the instrument since the firs time I heard it. That day I was back to my home with a certainty: "I'm going to be a musician, a violinist" I thought. Before that day (that moment of the day),

¿Who am I?

 I'm Henry, I was born in Concepción, and now I'm living in San Pedro de La Paz with my family; I like so much live here because the neighborhood is very quiet, and I can go walking to the beach that is close to my house.  Since the 2019 I'm studying violin at the university of Chile, and currently I'm a member of the National Youth Orchestra of Chile. For me, to be a musician or artist is not a profession, is a style of life; indeed, I can't conceive my life without music.  I have two brothers: my sister are studying at the university, and my brother are at the school yet. We live with our parents. Daily coexistence is not easy, but we are very close family and always can solve our differences and troubles.  Some years ago, during a concert, someone drawn me and make the following draw (is not perfect, but never someone drawn me before):
