about music.

Music is a very important thing for a guy who has spent a lot of time dreaming with dragons and space ships, like me. Perhaps because I have being influenced by movies and books since always, so, most of the music that I actually listen has pretentious themes like the origin of something or fantasy stories, etc, etc, etc.
But I haven’t been  always like this, when I was a child I used to listen kind of pop or some kid stuff like almost everyone, except for gorillaz, I love them since their first album.
Music is a way to say things, its a kind of language, so that means music is something complex, perhaps anyone can play an instrument but not everyone can be a good musician, is like a world view, people sometimes just don’t get them and it's fine, the problem with music is that people don’t even try to understand and i think that is why actual pop music is just crap.

Just like books an mythology have influenced me in a lot of ways, my dad is guilty to get me inside rock music. I was like 10 years the first time that I  listened to The number of the beast with him. I think that it was like showing a space machine to a cavern man, I felt excited by that fast song, a year after I started my electric guitar and  music classes, I was there for 5 years and I learned a lot, I fell in love with blues, jazz and classical music (and that’s the moment when I turned into a pretentious guy ha ha ha) and I discovered bands like Rhapsody which are power metal (they sing about dragons, knights and stuff), to king crimson which are prog rock. currently I am listening a lot of prog rock because of its complexity in the music structure and lyrics.


some usual prog rock joke (I really love the second one)

my favourite piece of technology:

I am not sure if  I have told you this yet , but to understand a lot of things about me you have to know that I am a geek, and as a geek I really love things like comics, action figures, collection figures and videogames, they are my ignition fuel to talk about my favourite technology device, which are consoles, videogames consoles.
technically  they are just made for the fun and recreation of the players, who can be anyone (and perhaps if you want to annoy your mum, i dont know why but mums dont like consoles and stuff).
 the first generation of consoles was made in the 60s, someone told me once that they were created for some kind of militar development, I dont know if that is true, but who (really, really) cares?. anyway, they were very basic, I mean simple desing of games and movement patterns. Now, almost 50 years after, gaming consoles are as complex as a computer and businessmen invest millions in its development.
as a gamer i have being interested in this topic since the first time I have touch a nintendo 64 like 14 years ago (damm, that is in fact a lot of time). but my first console was a playstation 2 which was my tenth birthday. now I am owner of a playstation 3 and I havent played videogames since summer,  the last game was metal gear solid 5: the phantom pain and I have spend like (and not joking) almost 115 hours of pure gaming (and tactical espionage action).

why did I choose this career?

Well, I really do not know, but when I was a child I use to love the idea of being a cartoonist or a "master builder"( master builder is how guys in lego company call the toy designer of the brand) and I think that I still want to be both.
I have  lots of memories of myself drawing as a kid, I can say that comics and cartoons are important in this point cause I drew cause of them, and that is funny cause my mum says that I have been drawing characters like batman and spider-man since I was really really young and until today,  and she is right.  I can say that, perhaps, the reason of why I chose to study arts is because I just wanted to do something related to me and what I really love  doing. For me drawing is not a hobby, drawing  has left a mark, a mark that means that I left part of me on it.
well, being close to music its also an influence in how I feel things and my abstract thoughts.
I think that is why... or not?(insert dramatic music here).

About me
 My name is Emilio Ignacio Ortiz Berrios, I was born on august 24th in 1996, so right now I'm close to my early 20´s. I am the second son of my parents: Gonzalo Ortiz and Maricarmen Berrios, and as I have told you -just a moment ago- I have a brother, an older brother in fact, he is the father of a wonderful 7-year old girl, so that makes me a really young uncle.
At age of 5 in the year 2002 I started my primary studies in altazor school, in puente alto, which is the place I have lived on since...always (ha). I made my secondary education in the same school, I have spent so much time in that school that I am part of its first (and complete) generation of students.
I  finished the school in 2014.
Back in in 2009 I started  to learn music and playing guitar.
 One of my best friends and i tried to make a band several times , and all of them have failed. the first band we called argos, and we try to play trash metal, we used to play in a so awful way that it was literaly garbage.

 In 2015 I started to study arts in the University of Chile, it wasn´t hard to chose a career for me, it was for my parents (in special my dad) to understand that I could not be something I didn´t want to. they understand now, or try to.
right now I am in my second year as an art student and it´s kinda hard, but i love what I do.
