MachineCo's Resident Composer

I was over at DM's house today. We had an extra long lesson. I'm glad he is putting in some extra time to help me with this piece. Will it make up for the fact that he was in Isriel for the first 2 weeks of school? I don't think so! Still, DM is a great guy.

He was talking about the difficulty in getting jobs as a composition teacher. I will have to work my ass off, but I don't care. I am a very versatile musician. Here are my skills! Because... We all know that girls only go out with guys with skills.


Here is a list of the courses I could teach as a prof:
1. (Theory) Harmony, Counterpoint, 20th century and Jazz. (not many people have all of those!)
2. Electroacoustics: Analog, Digital, Recording, Granular, Wave Table, MaxMsp notational practices. Live Hardware motion capture.
3. (History) 20th century, Ethnomusicology, Medieval, Electronic Music.
4. Orchestration
5. Composition

So.... As Kevin kindly pointed out last week, I can't build things or sell them. I'm a composer. I write music!

Here is a situation that I can happening to me in the not so distant future:

Employer: "Can you operate this machine?"
Me: "no, but I can harmonize the pitches it produces and create a double fugue!"
Employer: "You're hired! You can be MachineCo's resident composer! You will be an important addition to our workforce"
