Today was a definitely great day. Just to understand: I’m catching up on professional musical flows after 4 years of complete break in any musical practices (except for bar-hoping in loud places with disco songs and middle Eastern pop). And now, for all the musical technologies moved way forward from where I left observing them, it’s a cool prospective to learn some new stuff. For example, cheap and easy-to-get theremin-like equipment, adupted for disabled kids, can build me a great career in Ukraine, as my folks there maintain a clinic for those kids. Of course, it is if my country will ever pick its head up from the bullshit happening there. For example, this great Apple toy that was presented today, I definitely will bring to Ukraine ASAP. Can make a bet, this one will be the first gadget of the kind there.
However, I’m really sad our course in Technology is going to an end. There were so many awesome things presented, that are so very useful. Now I’m about to move to CA to study performance of experimental music on classic piano, so basic knowledge of technological resourses in modern posession is kind of priceless for me. It’s like, the technology covered a major field of discomfort that people use to have towards making music. The only field that stayed left far behind – studio recordings. I mean, really, in 2015 musicians still measure the time for their recordings as 700mb CD – 50-60 min. Can’t they just sell their recordings song-by-song straight from their Dropbox or Google Drive? Many computers just don’t have DVD drive any more, soon they will become extinct entirely. Oh, and ripping those Cds! A complete disaster, if you ever tried to rip ~500 cds into your hard drive within few days…
Whatever. Just wandering around in my head.
