Raffaele Funky Flute

I believe more or less everybody who lives in a city has thought about quitting his/her job to start a completely new life on a desert island, maybe bringing over his/her love. A way to deeply connect with mother nature without the interference of other (busy) metropolitan souls. What else do you need when you have food, shelter, health and love? Nothing, probably; yet I gave up on this dream the moment I left Italy two years ago (!). I moved from a quiet, cute little town in Italy -Pavia, to which I owe everything- to Los Angeles, certainly among the busiest, craziest, biggest damn cities in the world. No desert islands for me, thank you.

I need people, I need people to share. I need people to benefit from what I do, whatever I do. That’s my ultimate goal and that’s what I am thinking when I take up my flute and start playing in front of you guys, dancing. Also, that’s what I DON’T get when I am in front of a computer, programming the user interface for a integrated chip used in high-efficiency washing machines - yes, that IS as nerdy as it sounds. It’s not that people are not going to benefit from what I do, it just takes too many steps. My software goes to the developer that gives it to the customer that implements it in a washing machine that goes to the regional sales departments that, eventually, sells it to my mum that enjoys a wonderful environmentally friendly washing machine that wastes half the energy. Cool, but not for me.

This blog is going to keep track of my little accomplishments along my escape from engineering. My flute (Raffaele Funky Flute) projects are a part of my plans for the future and I want to share them and hear from you. Obviously, I hope my written English is going to get better with time!
