Yo, degrees in classical performance and music composition (basically a degree in western music theory), worked as a freelancer/touring musician/ for about 7 years before changing careers. Music is now my “serious” hobby, but I have mad respect and empathy for those still making their living in the arts. This shit sucks.
dying, cause all the concerts were cancelled
The Vince Guaraldi Trio one? Because that’s the only Christmas album I can actually come back to and enjoy every year.
i… bought a bass today. my first instrument was a banjo, I’ve only been playing that for like 6 months and I’m still terrible but it’s a lot of fun! woo
my friend bought me a banjo half as a meme cuz hes a lovely person and cuz i do like folk punk but its awesome its so much fun
i also got it signed by AJJ lmao
I try sometimes
I have a bunch of project scraps, mostly from FL studio, but nothing I’d consider finished or fit to share outside of seeking constructive criticism
my interest in music theory is partly related to my autism and anxiety; I’m fascinated by odd meters, and counting them in my head helps me cope when I’m feeling overwhelmed, it occupies me and puts me in a kind of meditative trance (the Morse rhythm from Rush’s YYZ is one of my favorites to use)
especially love odd meters with an out-of-phase swing rhythm, where the on- and off-beat of the swing shifts between measures
I took a 100 level music theory for non-majors class a few years ago, and it was pretty enlightening for me even if it was just skimming the basics
Its been awhile but FL used to be my primary DAW, so if you need tips feel free to ask. Music is a journey, so dont feel bad if it takes awhile. Im no expert or anything, but I can say that you can definitely improve in leaps and bounds if you put your mind to it. Even if you feel like something you made is utter garbage, there was still value in making it. Any song, good or bad, is a learning experience. As long as you dont forget that, youll be fine
