FUTUREAL

I'm surprised how I've completely forgotten about this blog.

Anyways. Next.

I wasn't interested in songwriting for over a year. Some friends were shocked to hear that I didn't want to write new songs. I couldn't believe either.

But as usual, I didn't push it and just let things flow until they get to their natural conclusion.

And they did.

I have been fiddling around with some synthesizers on my computer for like 3 months and I came up with some interesting stuff.

One of those songs was called "Sealed Away" because the sounds made me see being trapped behind the ice in an abandoned wide landscape.

The thing is that I didn't want to sign that as "Flatuleitor". Why? Because even though I've loved all what I did musically this year, I feel this is a new beginning. Therefore I needed a new nickname.

My second name is Aaron, so after trying a few more names I stuck with it. And I published "Sealed Away" by Aaron.

Previously, I thought about being "El Escultor" (The Sculptor).

Didn't really do it, did it?

Then, I was Aaron.

This guy is conscious about his situation

But after publishing the song on many platforms, a friend ask me: Why tf is there an Italian guy in your Spotify profile? That's when something had to change.

I went through a whole mf bunch of names, each more ridiculous and pretentious than the other.

Finally, I thought of the reason for this project, and why I'm here at Tierra del Fuego. The time that I have been here fluctuates a lot in terms of fun, experiences. But mostly fun. I consider myself to be a fun person.

It's unavoidable to compare the different times I've been in Santiago and here and one thing is certain. Time does fly when you're having fun. But not fun in the sense of drinking some bottles or going to parties and banalities. Fun in everyday situations, in what you cook, in the jokes, the music, sharing your life with the person you love. And the sea in front of you.

We've even got some damn flamingos!

This future I'm living now is the future I've wanted to live for a long time. Now it is happening. This future is real. Futureal.

Futureal is also an Iron Maiden song. So what. Fuck everything. Fuck Blazey on "Virtual XI".

Anyways, I decided to go with FUTUREAL from now on and do music in the Synthwave/Outrun fashion. It feels just right.

Now everything is purple, black, sky blue, and grids.

My memories got sealed away. Not erased, just frozen in the cold of Tierra del Fuego.
