reading about autechre and aphex surely isn't going to be a
guarantee for success but why should it be a guarantee for
no success? explain yourself promo

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.

well what are you studying / going to study then?

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.

What am I going to study? I think I'm a bit past that. Lol.


By the way I hope you do prove me wrong. I wish you the best
of luck.

Yeah, right, it's so much more productive to be an agent of
our fabulous bureaucraty, or whatever you think a 'real job'
is...

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.
