Currently, I´m working in a Project that makes music of the thematics, places, characters and stages of the walking-tours that “Santiago Freak” (the cultural-tourism Organization where I work) makes. I have worked on it since last year, and it started like a joke when we play the instruments and improvise with other members of “Santiago Freak” around the thematics of the tours, on different musical genres. Then, we realised that it wasn´t a bad idea, and that we could do it seriously, so now some places and characters of the tours have their own musical themes. The idea is to record all the songs of every tour in a CD, and give it to the people in the tours or sell it like a souvenir, for example. It´s a collective project, because we need the group synergy to make it better than just a person. Our difficulties are that we don´t have so much time to do this, so it has been a very slow process, and we don´t have all the technological supports that we need. So, now I´m working in ...

My favorite piece of techonology is an i-pad (second version). I got it about four years ago, when I started to work in the Cultural-Tourism Agency "Santiago Freak". I use it for many things, like reading, to listening music or writing and answering e-mails. There are many apps that I can use for my studies too, for example to train the musical ear or to create, read and write music. I use it every day, so I charge it at night to have battery the whole day. It´s my work tool too: I use it when I make a Tour, to show different images, audios and videos of the city to the people. I like it because it´s very useful and portable. I think that without the ipad I wouldn´t die, but making a Tour without it, would be very strange, like drinking a beer without alcohol.
