Thread Name: Your occupation vs. your music style
Subject: RE: Your occupation vs. your music style
Well, I don't have a job exactly...I'm a college student studying Art--Communications Art--in the subfield of Graphic Design. With this I'd like to do more computer art than anything else. I also have a work-study job at the university as a "computer lab monitor," but have eclipsed that, and now have become a computer technician of sorts. I've always been good with computers, but still have a ton to learn in that field. I play guitar most of all, and some years of classical guitar training, but also do folk stuff; I've played violin for 4 years now, and am OK I guess, I make less mistakes if I can play slow airs; and now I've taken up the beginning stages of the bagpipes. I write music mostly: tunes, and music for song lyrics (I am "lyrically impaired"). I'm not sure if there is a direct connection between my "job" and my music. Art is creative, and so is music--but it's also very technical at times, as too is computers, and I did rather well in music theory classes. However, I am not very good at math. In fact, I hate it! The most technical subject of all, I cannot master! Very strange.
