This post is actually my final essay for LIB 310, Creativity, here at GVSU: Being both a passionate musician and an audio engineer on the verge of hurling myself into “the real world,” I’ve been examining and pondering this new musical climate, and it seems to be an incredible time to be a sound recordist, to be an instrumentalist, and to be a music lover.

Last month, Dana Castaldo, aka Aldo—guitarist, lead singer, and creator of rock band Red Light Go—brought one of his songs to the recording studio for a collaborative recording session exclusively for the Avocado Jungle.

Teaching at Michigan State University’s College of Music in East Lansing is an incredible pianist and teacher with a sharp mind and an infectiously positive outlook, Derek Polischuk. I had the pleasure of an interview with him. This is part 1 of 2. Listen to the interview.

Whatever your personal art is, whether it be food, music, beer, painting, dance, or even math, if you’re passionate enough about it, you’ll never be alone. We’re all artists if we care enough about something. March 14, 2010, at 12:06 pm — Arts and Culture | Music | music blog — friendship / Music / THEME: Friendship
I’m of the mind that one should never do something creative entirely alone. You should definitely have a trusted pack of buddies by your side while crafting some tunes. |
