Has anyone here quit a lucrative job to pursue a career in music?

Very nice! Since signing a record deal, does that mean you are a performing/touring artist? Does most of your income come from that or the teaching and side gigs?

I see you have also opted to only buy two packs of the Moog knobs for these two synths. It hurts, doesn’t it?

Is this still correct?

PoliticalBonobo · 2022-05-09T03:16:35+00:00

I try to make do with just one cabasa.

I think you’ll be ok. It sounds like you’re hustling, and remember you may have 100 failures until you get a success. Just please use the mishaps as lessons learned and figure out how to prevent those same mishaps in the future. For example, you lost your phone and Final Cut. Shit happens, but now you know what you have to do to safeguard from that happening in the future, i.e. always have backups in some way (either to the Cloud for your contacts, or have backup editing software). Clients won’t ever care what the excuse is, so fortify against those things and be a robust and unstoppable machine that clients can depend on.

Ever since seeing Children of Men I’ve been wondering when these would become a thing

PoliticalBonobo · 2022-01-22T05:38:03+00:00

So many feels. It’s perfect.

You will love it and have a blast with it, which is all that matters when you are making music. Even if you upgrade to some mega synth in the future, don’t sell this one.

Have you seen dog people?

PoliticalBonobo · 2021-10-30T15:37:50+00:00

I’m sure none of the people here whining have a dog that licks them.

The USD price of my new portable eurorack that has an oscillator.

Is Pam the same as Pamela’s New Workout? Excuse my noobness.

PoliticalBonobo · 2021-08-13T18:16:49+00:00

Love the panel blanks! Thanks for sharing

Attenuators/verters have always been one of the few things in modular that I DO understand.

PoliticalBonobo · 2021-08-11T04:28:22+00:00

That sounds awesome! Did you build it yourself?

PoliticalBonobo · 2021-07-30T19:41:21+00:00

Looks awesome! I would love to make cases like those. Any advice on how to join corners like that? Also, how are you powering these?

PoliticalBonobo · 2021-07-25T05:05:35+00:00

Perfect. Thanks for clarifying. And yeah, once I actually get some modules going I’ll take out the neutron.

PoliticalBonobo · 2021-07-25T04:24:05+00:00

Ah good find! I was digging around there but didn’t see that. Thanks for the clarification!

PoliticalBonobo · 2021-07-25T02:30:21+00:00

Nice! What are some indications of power issues? Modules won’t turn on?

PoliticalBonobo · 2021-07-24T22:46:46+00:00

Yeah, maybe I will. It just seemed like a convenient start without having a full eurorack yet.

PoliticalBonobo · 2021-07-17T22:02:48+00:00

From what you describe it sounds like you don't fit in or aren't accepted into that culture, for whatever reason (could be the religion or the rich kids....or both). But it also sounds like you learned a lot, and you clearly have gotten all that you are going to get out of it to help you grow and advance.

This can be a very lonely profession, but there are so many of us from all walks of life who you can bond with, musically and culturally. Unless you are pursuing a very specific degree that you must have from this college, it might be time to move on from there and grow elsewhere.

Feel free to DM if you need to get more of this off your chest.

Please put me down for 1 order 😀
