How many of you out there would like to be in some sort of music career, anything from playing music to working for record labels or being a musician's agent? Any1 in one now? I would either like to be a solo artist and do IDM, or get together with a band and either do Indie Rock, Funk, or IDM. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
On that note, I have a band but I'm still trying to persuade my bandmates to let us become one of those 3 things ;) and I also realize that its hard to make a career out of music, so I had planned on doing computer programming full time and music on the side. Thoughts? |

would love to be a musician, unfortuantely i never learnt music and i doubt i have any talents ...i wrote a few tracks, they're quite crap so far, even tho i did improve.. i've been trying to learn music theory but its quite complicated, i'll keep trying, even if i dn't have a music career it can be just a hobby,,making music that it.. |
||||||||

|
|
yeh would be great |

Thats cool Salma, just keep with it, always keep with it, and you will eventually be a good musician, I promise you. It worked for me (on guitar at least, and I'm not saying im a great guitarist, but capable) :) |
||||||||

|
|
well I plan on making a living on music. composition probably. hopefully electronic stuff. my writing right now is pretty bad and my 'gear' leaves something to be desired but first thing I need to do is get an education. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
First off, I'm not talented enough to have it as a career, but at some point if it was a possibility that might be cool. I think I'd love to be a solo IDM artist, but there's tons of talented people on this board alone, so I don't quite take myself seriously.. At this point, I'm doing it because I like to do it, and I like the stuff I'm producing, and if either of those things ever changes I'll probably stop doing it. |

Thats cool Dozier, I'm right there with ya. Do you have any songs on a webpage anywhere? I'd like to hear 'em, if you'd like to share 'em. ;) |
||||||||

i would love to do music as a career! i'd really love to be in a band also. but noone around here is really interested in the kind of music i'd like to play. but the idea of having a full-time career in music makes me cream. *tee-hee* ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Definitely, all my stuff is on my web page , as well as shared on Soulseek (username dozier). What about you? I've been collecting stuff done by people on the board.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dozier: thats awesome I gotta check your stuff out! :) I'm currently workin on a couple of songs under the moniker Eulogy Son, but nothing worth hearing yet! As soon as I get my most ready song finished, I'll post it somewhere. :) |
||||||||

|
|
yeh..... death metal band for me !!!!, scare them little kiddies ! :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Alright, let us know! And if you have any comments--good or bad--about my stuff, let me know. :) |

I am goin to the Berklee College Of Music in Boston. Its a contemporary music school. Jazz, Rock, Pop, Electronic, and some Classical etc. Im doin a duel major in Composition and Synthesis. I play the electric bass, and I used to play the drums. I am learning piano too. I most definatly will have a career in music. It may not be exactly what I am hoping for... but you never know. My goal is to get signed to Warp, and release music until I die. Id also like to do some film scoring, write some Symphonies, and various other projects. Being in a band is also an option. But in the music industry, you just gotta take what you get. Its hard. If you're curious about my music, you can check it out Ive just finished my first year with a 3.6 gpa. I begin several synthesis classes in the fall, although im self taught for the past 5 years. Still much to learn though. I also took theory lessons in highschool. Along with private Bass instruction. Music is the only career I will accept. its the only career i want. |

brendan: is that you holding a guitar in your avatar? What type of music would you like to create a band of? I think I'd like to jam with you some time (if that was a possibility =p) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
mmmmmmmmmmmm cream !!!!!! :) |

Zeus: looks like you got your career decisions pretty narrowed down. ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know what i want in life :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
me with guitar? yep. type of music? um,,, well, i want to be experiemental. i want to play alittle bit of everything (maybe some elements of floyd, fu manchu, led zep, 311--- and of course, incorporate some of that old electronic in there. ) P.S. i play << |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
* i meant to put Sublime instead of 311... but i guess there's some okay 311 too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*(and i dig some freestyling, too) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok cool, well, if you ever visit Tampa, FL or I ever visit columbia (wherever that is, do u mean D.C.?) we totally should! that would be badass. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, sublime is totally the shit, that would be badass And I would probably like to do the same kind of music, experimental, kinda branching out. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha... well, i don't normally make it down to fla. too often! and i don't live in washington, d.c. i live in north carolina. but it would be cool to play some music! ROAD TRIP!!! haha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hell yeah!, but oddly enough, I was gonna to North Carolina with a friend of mine on a road trip. I'm dead serious too. ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get outta here! that's wicked! well, if you still plan on going (coming), maybe we can make some plans to get up with each other. that's cool as hell! (wait! you're not some psycho who mutilates poor innocent kittens, and does weird experiments on them that makes them grow second heads, are you? ;-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it'd be cool to be a musician i'm gonna do it along with my other career. it'd be like a kinda side career for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i think i might need to have a career besides my music, too. but it WOULD be awesome if i didn't have to have another job besides a music career! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, nah brendan, but I can understand your concern judging by my avatar and criminal record (j/k) ;) But dude, I'm terribly terribly sorry, I just got verification from my friend and its South Carolina that we might have gone too, but at this point we probably wont anyway, so you wont have to feel bad for me being so close ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha! no worries! ;-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool, thanks for understandin, lol :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
na scrap the death metal band, i want to be in an industrial band that encourages little kids to kick old men in the balls each time they see them...... that would be cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's a pipe dream of mine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I already do lots of production work, but actually I plan on making a career out of djing. And I'm going to be one of the BIG dj's that have gigs all around the world all the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OH COOOOOL LIKE PAUL VAN DYK OR SASHA AND DIGWEED! THEY'RE AWESOME! *GRIN!* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
deathsmith... got a link to your music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think I have decided that I probably would take a career in any aspect of the music field, although certain choices would be cooler than others. Deathsmith: I wanna hear your stuff too! =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im not talented and not passionateenugh to purse a carrer in music. Beside that those IDM musicians dont earn much if anything..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Rereading that post kind of fueled my own desire to get into a music major.. I'm currently in Digital Media.. but they are thinking of expanding it to include a track called "Digital Music Tools," and if they do, I think I'm definately gonna do that. Actually for quite some time I have known that a career in music is the only that I really desire, but have been doubting my own ability.. But I believe in myself now and I'm at least going to give it one hell of a shot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
music is the only way forward for me....... If I don't get signed I suppose I'll just end up being some wierd guy with long hair & a fucked up nickname who'll be mocked by the towns folk when out in public. 8D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they will call you "Rambling Madman" :D |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
.... yes, but they do don't they? Maybe I'll be "Rambling Oldman" by then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bwhahah! i will call you "talking man" or "walkie talkie" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
.... I suppose I could run my own label or studio & become a producer, who knows? I think I have inventors blood aswell as artists blood in me, I may make my fortune through this hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
