Learning new arts and remembering forgotten arts.

I can’t believe it’s already the 3 am!! I remember a few moments was it was barely 1 am... mmh, time flies sometimes.

Well, in case I hadn’t mentioned before (because I have bad memory and am not sure if I had said it before or not) some few months ago I started taking a course on music theory because the director said that it should be now important for all the integrants to know the bases of music, or at least to understand why we’re playing the specified notes on a certain repertoire. Well, so it’s been very interesting, the course was divided basically in 3 classes: music history, theory (to know about certain figures and indications) and Harmony (to understand about chords and the function of the notes and such), this last one is the one I felt more interesting and amusing. Now I’m also browsing over the internet to learn more about it. It’s fascinating, I can now see how many people relate it in an analogical way similar to mathematics: hence why I love so much music of Bach. I’m getting too excited on all this music theory learning I am now actually thinking in when finishing my career in Engineering I will then dedicate to really compose major works. For now I’ll be starting creating or “composing” exercises to understand more the harmony.

Also, I’ve lost practice and it’s been long time since I don’t sit down and dedicate to draw. I remember I let an unfinished drawing of a goth girl, so I’ll search for it and try to finish it tomorrow, or at least start again drawing sketches or something. Maybe I haven’t been feeling well on drawing either because of I have lost practice I get frustrated that I can’t draw well what I want to draw, or maybe I’ve just never really drawn anything good. Sometimes I wish I had the same enthusiasm for drawing that I used to have years a couple of years ago when I was more dedicated to this visual art. But it’s always been my owe: wanting so much so many things that I can’t handle them all effectively. Damn I’m just full of dreams, but it’s always that, just dreams.
