CURRENT MISSION

To reembrance the utopia every day.

ABOUT ME

Young lad eager to know more about the world and life everyday. I'm currently studying Musical Composition in Lisbon, Portugal as the first step to embrace life as a professional musician.

But, most of all, I'm giving (as all of us are) my numb and blind steps through dubious reality in the quest for a full life. I wish I could be a full-time psychologist, full-time physicist, full-time philosopher, full-time scholar, full-time writer, full-time painter, full-time traveler, full-time jobless person simply being... I can easily depress over the fact that we can't lead multiple lives or slow down time.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the experience as a validator of my reality - therefore, reality is my own consciousness and truth is relative.

This said, I live for the present. And crave only for a full life.

Interests

Arts, Science and Culture - Music, Literature, Cinema, Painting, Photography, Sculpture, Philosophy, History...

People and the World - To hang out and share views and experiences, late night coffees, Traveling!, Gastronomy, Cities, Nature...

Right now I'd have to pick Music as my main interest and activity, due to my superior course in Jazz. I spend most of my time studying, having rehearses and classes, giving some concerts and giving drum and musical theory private classes.

Luckily for me, to study Music is in fact to study Arts, Science and People all together ;)

Does anybody know "Whatever you think, think the opposite?" Just popped into my mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One day I woke up and decided I'd play on the streets of my hometown, Porto, with a pile of metal and plastic junk. That day I discovered the power of spontaneity, the joy of simply acting and opening up to people, discovering new things. That left me awestruck.

I hope I'll fill this field with tons of amazing things in the following years, guided by the same spirit.
