Blog 7: A Person in My Field: Joe Hisaishi

Hi again! I hope you are fine :)

There is a person who I admire, and certainly he is related with one of the fields inside the Sound Engineering. His name is Joe Hisaishi, a japanese composer who had created many of the soundtracks from Studio Ghibli, an important studio in Japan dedicated to produce animated films by the traditional way.

He was born in Japan, on December 6, 1950. In 1969 he attended to the Kunitachi College of Music, where he studied Music Composition. His real name is Mamoru Fujisawa, but around the early 80s he started to use the pseudonym "Joe Hisashi", at the same time his work were becoming well know.

About his work, he had made a lot of compositions, very varied and innovative, consisting of solo albums, film scores, among others. Some examples of that are, as I mentioned at the beginning of this blog, his film scores from Studio Ghibli. Since 1984, he had composed for all the films of Hayao Miyazaki, the most important director of the studio, and his co-founder. Some of my favorite sountracks are from the films "Howl's Moving Castle" (2004), "Spirited Away" (2001), "Kiki's Delivery Service" (1989) and "The Wind Rises" (2013).

A like so much his work because it can be very emotional, and human. I think the movies of Hayao Miyazaki woudn't be the same without the music of Joe Hisaishi.

Thanks for reading, and see you soon! :)

Blog 10: Evaluation of Blog Experience

Imagen
Hi again! This is my last blog, and I'm happy because this was a good experience :). In general, I think this was a great way to practice my writing in english, and also, express myself, sharing my ideas and thoughts with my classmates. I never have written so much in english in my life! I feel my writing skills are better now. I'd gotten back the security I'd lost a couple of years ago, when I finished school (since that moment, I stopped practicing my english). During the blogs, I got more speed to write, and thanks to the websites the teacher recommended to us, I know more words than before, and where to ask for vocabulary the next time xD. In the future, I'd like to include in the blog themes about topical subjects, for example, the social revolution in Chile in the past months. Also, talk about different cultural and artistic activities. I would like to write reviews of movies, series or books. I never had written a review, but that would be an interesting ac...

Blog 6: First thing I'll do when quarantine is over

Imagen
Hi again! I think that when the quarantine is over, and the coronavirus is more controlled, I'll feel so much relaxed and happy, because this time have been very stressful for me, and for the most of people I know. So, the first thing I'll do will be to visit the house of my grandfather, next to mine, and give him a great hug :), because I want to spend more time with him, fearless of infect him. Also I want to ask some friend to go out, because there is a long time from the last time I did it. I'd like to see the most of my friends, to talk and have fun face to face, without screens. I would like to visit the shore of Puerto Montt, and contemplate the sea for a long time. Also I'd like to walk through the city, see the people without masks and returning to normality, and go to the cinema with somebody. Nevertheless, I believe that the quarantine and all the restrictions we have to afront have something good: they will teach us to appreciate the really important...
