 | Please you can't be serious? I mean shit I enjoy my music but some people on the Board just take it a bit too
 seriously. With degrees in Aphexism (or whatever the hell it
 is) and electronic music. I mean studying about Aphex that
 is just taking things to silly extremes. It just reeks of
 amateurism and not having a clue about what to do in life. A
 career is music is just total fantasy it a culdesac.

 | patrik, 
 Do whatever degree you want to do. I would imagine (I could
 be wrong) that your parents have probably said you're
 wasting your time. However do it because you have to let
 people do what they want to do ultimately, that way and only
 that way do they find out the pitfuls involved. I personally
 think a degree in electronic music or whatever is a waste of
 energy, time and a complete fantasy. But like I say you have
 to let people do their own thing because they always will
 anyway.

 | Anyway If you think I chose to study music at Keele because I read this thread then you are not only much mistaken but
 also have little faith in other people.
 
 And yes, you were wrong.

 | No shit though I know where Promo is coming from. 
 Not exactly the same thought paths but I would never study
 music or anything mostly involving creative process. True
 aesthetics aren't really something you get taught to you,
 it's the kind of thing you have to work out yourself.
 
 I would also never be a musician as a trade, coz I just see
 it as a wank job - if I was doing music for a job I'd have
 to do "remix this and remix that and then get your ass in
 gear and make an album organize gigs" and all that shit
 which I'm not really into and it would take all the fun out
 of making music for me.
 
 So I pretty much see music strictly as a pasttime hobby, not
 something I'd consider a career.

 | Yes sorry, I shouldn't even bother. 
 Bureaucracy (not 'bureaucraty', my mistake) : the
 administrative structure of a large or complex organization.

 | But then again, I have some pretty far out views on making music (do NOT ask me about what I think about rekkid labels,
 dmeos etc)
 
 so...uhh forget I said anything

 | I've heard exactly what you said od_step already from a couple of mates of mine.
 
 But I've been playing the piano for 15 years now and am
 fascinated about all aspects of music. I just can't imagine
 myself studying anything else, apart from maybe English but
 nein danke, kein Bock.
