In England

As i said before, I've researched alot for faculties, universities where I could study what I want to study. I found finally Solent Southampton University, looked great for me it has a Masters of Media and Arts, so I went for it. :)

So, I was getting to know more and more the power of the Internet, and start to research everything about the degree, England and British people online. I never stopped myself to think that most of the music I love comes from UK, it was definitely a better reason to do this MA in UK, and I selected exactly Southampton because is very close to London. and of course because the degree. I was accepted in 7 or 10 universities in England, but Southampton seemed pretty interesting for me, close to London, by the sea.

Next step for me by the time, it was make friends online, and by ICQ (software i don't know if still exist) I met Jeff. I found this guy quite fun and a interesting chat, we became very good friends online, maybe a little more than this, just online, aha he was/is very into music, someone that I could discuss and talk about music, very important for me.

Actually by this time I was discovering many things about music, rock, especially electronic music; I was in rock band Animais dos Espelhos, in many ways a brand new world was opening for me and I was loving this world.

I always will love rock, but my vibe start to be much more into electronic music.
And England is the place to be if you love electronic music.

Very Beginning of life in England

Well, better started from how I have the idea to go somewhere else.
It started when I was finishing my degree at UnB in Brasilia and I was research student in one project at the MA in Art and Technology of the Fine Arts Department, and I need to study deeply the Internet and it was in the beginning 0f the Internet around 1995, at least in Brazil, and I was completely enchanted by the new technology, how it could reduce long distant to a so close 'space'?

For me by the time, it opened a door to a new world, and I was completely up to explore it and I did and I plan to keep exploring it, it is magic for me.

So, I was finishing my degree in Fine Arts (believe me!) and I've realized that I do appreciate Arts, but what really attract me, it is another subject and I found out that is communication technologies, so I needed to find a way to study it without dissociate my degree background. I spent probably researching one year until I find the best way to study what I like, it is doing a MA, in case, by the time I found the best thing was go outside Brazil, explore the world, explore life, explore the new technology, the INTERNET.
