Chicago Illinois, I am going to tell you the story of Eduard.

He was born in Chicago Illinois; Eduard lives in a house near the millennium park. It is a good and pretty house. Eduard lives with his mother that is the owner of a store, with a father that works in a big company of food and with his little brother 3 years younger than him. Eduard is a noble guy and his appearance is normal. He wears black shoes and jeans. He is a very calm man that always has a positive attitude for doing things, also he likes adventure and explores new things. In his school time, he has demonstrated excellent grades in all the subjects, additionally, also he has shown his non-controlled passion for music.

He had always talked about music in his class, teaching teachers about the music that he likes and also playing tracks for them. In his free time, he listens to music and mixes it or he just uses his FL studio application playing with sounds and creating songs just for a hobby. He listens to many genres, for example, high energy, reggaeton trap, rap, hip hop, pop, rock, dance, EDM, and some others. But his favorite genre is techno, house, and techouse. Eduard finished school when he was 18 years old and he wanted to go to Switzerland, Interlaken to begin a business, or to work because he did not want to study anymore. He wanted to go to that place especially because Interlaken is a little city in Switzerland that was just barely developing so he was searching for a new possible job there and also because living there was very cheap. So after Eduard finished school, he searched for an apartment to rent in Interlaken and he searched for a job as a waitress in the most luxurious restaurant in Interlaken because he knew 2 languages which were English and French. After all, Eduard’s mother is from France and she taught him French when he was little. And that was an advantage for being accepted in the job.

The day arrived, when Eduard had to say Goodbye to his

parents, for him to start his adventure in Switzerland where he had everything really and prepared for him. Saying Goodbye was harder than he thought and he started to become nervous because he was going to live alone in a different country. Then, finally, he was able to hug his parents and his brother and they accompanied him to the airport and he boarded the airplane. It was daylight and the plane took off. seeing nature from above, the mountains and their peaks, the clouds, and the immense lakes, Eduard was very attracted and amazed by how beautiful it is and how insignificant he felt seeing the world from the air.

So Eduard took out his computer and started on the melody of the song. He wanted the melody to be in line with nature, he related each sound to something he saw from the window of the plane, so the melody had many sounds similar to natural sounds, the melody was incredible, it filled you with peace when you heard it. It was a beautiful piano that was in line with the clouds moving slowly and gently at the front of the orange and yellow sunlight. A sound was of the water of the river running across it with the maracas noising very fast representing the salmon fishes jumping upwards the waterfall for not being caught by the big bears. When the sun was going down the sky was of a combination of red, orange, yellow, and purple color so here changes the melody because now Eduard can’t see the nature and what is below him so he gets inspired by what is in the sky. So he began using a violin aggressively and quickly in a low note representing the collision of the stars and the constellations of different colors that stand out in the night. Also, he uses a piano with a xylophone sound that represented those different colors of the sunset as the sun goes down. and makes a constant trumpet melody that represents the immensity of the sun going down and obvious all this accompanied by the percussion of techno that makes the song continuous and inspiring. And that’s how Eduard is inspired to do his hobby of

producing music; by nature. Eduard produced that set and then he slept the time that he had left.

The flight to Interlaken was 10 hours long. When he arrived there and got out of the airport he saw the city and he got amazed, he almost got blind because of the beauty. It was night and Eduard had his mouth open because of how amazing the city was. There were many lights and the sky was clear and full of stars. Eduard took a taxi and went straight to his rented apartment, then he arranged his clothes, settled in completely, and slept like a koala. The next morning, he woke up at 8 AM, he took a shower and went out to have some breakfast. As Eduard walked after having breakfast, he saw the city with delight. For him, it was like being in a new world.

The streets were very organized, the people were civilized, there was a lot of nature, the trees were beautiful pines with other trees of reddish color that make nature be a paradise for Eduard. There was also an incredible mountain surrounded by clouds and a clear blue river that led to a lake that was surrounded by houses with the style of Switzerland, houses with an old design combined with the modern.

Eduard started to work the next day, so the rest of the day, he walked around all the city getting to know it well as it was small. He was going to work in Harder Kulm’s restaurant, a lookout point over 1000 meters above sea level in Interlaken. So that night he slept early and the next night he woke up very motivated to go to his new job.

He had to be there at 10 am so he woke up at 9 and took up the railway to go up to the restaurant. The ascent was impressive because you started to see the whole city from the top, just like the mountains with their snowy peaks. You passed through many orange green trees and the landscape was a wonder. Eduard arrived at the restaurant and from the viewpoint,

everything was much more beautiful. Eduard almost cried because of how great he was seeing. That first day, he learned the restaurant’s menu and how to serve customers in a very polite way. It was not a problem for Eduard, as he was very educated and had an excellent memory. Even that day he served customers. Then he stood at the tip of the lookout producing music very inspired with all the nature around him. And so Eduard spent every day working until five in the afternoon and then staying until nightfall doing his hobby. Doing that until December he managed to do many more songs than the one he did on the plane which was the longest and created a record label called Hungry Music and he uploaded them on YouTube waiting for the world to listen to them. The names of the songs were, Mountain, Nocturne, Eternity, Millenium, Fixi, Note Blanche, Taiga, Plein Ciel, Reykjavik, Promesse, and so many more.

In December, Eduard went back to Chicago to visit his family. He shared time with them and was very happy to see them again. He was in Chicago for 15 days in December and on the sixth day, he received a call through his YouTube channel. The call was from Joris Voorn, a DJ and music producer from Amsterdam and Eduard’s favorite. Eduard was completely excited and felt that the heart was going to come out of his chest. He couldn’t believe Joris Voorn had called him. Joris told him that he had heard her new record label and that he thought it was a majestic work of art and needed to know where he was so that he could open a concert of Joris with his songs. Eduard very excited said yes and asked him where he had to go and Joris told him that he would be doing a concert in Chicago at the Millennium park for the next three days. Eduard said he was in Chicago and was going to open the concert without thinking. That it had been the biggest opportunity he had ever had in his entire life and then he gave him a million thanks and hung up.

Eduard couldn’t believe it. He cried of happiness for the great opportunity that he had just been given.

Eduard told his parents and they couldn’t believe it either. It was a situation of happiness and celebration throughout the house. It was incredible for everyone. The day of the concert arrived and Eduard was very nervous and excited. When he went on stage, he stood in front of more than ten thousand people and started the song Millenium just as the sun began to set. People sang to the tune and danced like never before. They loved all the songs that were played. Eduard finished his set with the song Sanctis, a very melodious song. Everyone applauded Eduard as if he were the new generation of music. Eduard felt like he owned the world, he felt his dreams were coming true. It was the best moment of his life on that stage with the audience applauding and shouting “Eduard, Eduard!”; and the different colored lights illuminating the whole place. It was Eduard’s dream come true.

From that day on, many people began to listen to Eduard’s songs on YouTube and he began to gain a lot of fame. Eduard returned to Interlaken to continue working in the restaurant but he already had to ask for many permits to go and play in concerts. So the restaurant didn’t accept that and they had to fire Eduard. A little sad because he stopped working in a place where he liked a lot, he bought the restaurant with the money he had obtained from the concerts so that he could go to Harder Kulm whenever he wanted and sit at the top of the balcony watching all of Interlaken and its mountains to produce the music he likes the most. With the money from the restaurant and his concerts, he managed to buy a very big and modern house in Interlaken, near Harder Kulm and live his life there, having his restaurant business and going to all the possible concerts.
