Taking on Los Angeles...One Composer at a Time



BANG! I friggin' love the fact that someday I'll be working full time composing music. I've made a few new friends out in Los Angeles - most of whom are active in the Hollywood movie-scoring circuit. It was wild talking to active composers who do stuff not just for film, but theater, commissioned pieces for major symphonies, opera, and commercials. Will keep pressing to get out there.

My original goal was to be working in LA this summer, but I changed it when I realized I had too much going on here:

a month-long gig in the Mediterranean
a percussion recital to prepare for
my first symphony to write
local jobs on the side.

A summer mentor position would probably have more set-backs while I'm still in school... GAH! I hate school ... gotta graduate ...

Albeit, being a musician is incredibly exciting and the sky is the limit!
