i have a bachelors in music, focusing in sound recording tech. took some core EE classes and got a job as an engineer after school. Started a masters and paused because I got a full time. currently unemployed as I was laid off last summer. think dream job would be working in audio/sound/music adjacent engineering with hybrid. Which I did have lol. Working back to it.

Okay so i’m in love with music. Its my life. I own so much vinyl and my Spotify library is so sick. Specifically, i love music producing and audio engineering. But, i feel like i’m a really good student who would find more stability going into something like chemical or mechanical engineering. Pls help :( I’m at odds because i want to fulfill my academic talent but also fulfill my music talent…

im 24, i am a sound designer. I have won awards for sound design. I have a 1st in a degree that included me to do sound designing. I like books and music and films and pictures and friends and my ex and sound designing sounds for my ears, and hopefully one day, your ears too. i also like my bed and listening to sounds. Did i mention sound?

started in middle school wanting to be skrillex and made some heinous dubstep, got way too heady about music theory and wanted to be machinedrum for a bit to flex that I knew other time signatures than just 4/4, then i went to college to study music and realized music theory is actually dumb and 4/4 is sick and I wanted to be kaytranada and make the simplest lil house tunes to dance to, then a friend from college and I shared our love for 80s new wave music and John Hughes movies and we made some fun synthpop to play at an 80s prom night as our senior capstone project, then that friend and I graduated in the pandemic together and made depressed synthpop that we were way too heady about because we needed to prove that our music degrees were valuable and that we didn’t waste our time in undergrad and that we weren’t failures as artists, then I moved away because having a music degree in NYC in the pandemic got you no jobs and shelved music for a while because I felt like a failure, got into early digital production from the 80s and got sick of working with plug ins and switched to synths and drum machines instead, figured out what post-music degree life looked like for me and moved again for grad school to get an MBA so I could actually get jobs on the business side of music, then I covered a Todd Rundgren song with a friend that I met at grad school to represent establishing a healthier relationship to my music now that it wasn’t tied to my self worth/career and just generally being on a better path in life. now I just make weird synthy stuff for fun and only release music when I care enough about a song to finish it
TLDR I listened to skrillex once and now i’m studying finance because I’ll never live out my fantasy of actually being him

Firing from the hip. A lot of albums I would recommend but this is a top 3 for me. It’s short, it’s got great production, and the string arrangement on the last song “i think ur a contra” is one of my favorite moments in music I’ve ever heard. I always skip back and turn it up louder.
