Jocko the Wonder Llama Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Music hasn't become a career for me either. 22 years in the military followed by 1 year as a motorcycle test rider. I play just as a hobby. (Its cheaper than buying a new motorcycle every year. :P ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow Adam Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Being an engineer pays the day to day bills. Playing on the Toronto Raptors drum line pays the fun bills. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Film Composer Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Hi, sorry in advance for the shameless self promotion... :) Marched VK, Freelancers and Santa Clara Vanguard as a soprano and mellophone player in the 80s. Currently working as a film and television composer in Los Angeles. My latest project is a martial arts action film called "The Red Canvas" http://imdb.com/title/tt1121986/fullcredits#cast We will be recording the score in Prague with a large orchestra in February. I will post details later about release dates, soundtrack availability etc. I am also currently composing the music for Santa Clara Vanguard Cadets 2008 show "Perspectives." Additionally, later this month I am launching a marching band scoring company called http://www.elfmanpetersonscoring.com specializing in original music for bands and corps. To check out my film scoring work in more detail and to hear some of my orchestral writing check out http://www.jamespetersonmusic.com Enjoy.

I've always wondered what it would take to do some work for TV/film, but my plate's already plenty full. You have a cool job, and I'm a little jealous even though I love what I do. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
