Traditions? How about no
pants Friday? Or Harry Potter Mondays? If I could start a new tradition it
would be to have a Quidditch matches just like in the wonderful world of Harry
Potter. We could divide the classes in to four houses and go at it.
What I think would be
even better would be to take the zombie assassin game even further. First,
take away any safe zones. Then we use the buildings like if the
zombie apocalypse was really happening. You might have a group of
survivors camping out in Daniel Recital Hall or maybe in Hazel B. Each group
would have to send for supplies and that’s when the zombies would get them or
maybe the zombies out smart them and break into their "safe haven".
The last human group wins.
I guess that would only
work if you count zombies as a Converse tradition.
Besides becoming an everlasting god
among people, I would like to conduct symphonies in space. Somewhere on a giant
spaceship for rich people or maybe become a blue alien diva that tours all over
the galaxy (The Fifth Element composed by Eric Serra)… but that’s a just dream. In reality, I want to compose music for
movies video games, and animation TV shows. Why? Well, why not? If I had to
answer I would ask what moves you more the battle scene from Narnia(Composed by Harry Gregson-Williams) or a Taylor
Swift song (composed by Taylor Swift)? What do you remember more after listening once: the feelings of
battle for justice or Taylor’s lyrics? I’m not sure about you, but my battle
cry has been “For Aslan and For Narnia” ever since that movie.
My dream reality takes place Japan actually
where I compose music for movies, games, and anime. If I had a role model it
would be a woman named Yoko Kanno who has already done what I want in life and
is in high demand for composing anime scores. I would one day like to meet her
either as a colleague or a crazed fan, hopefully a colleague.
Pros or advantages of this excellent
life is no more complex than the “C” scale: Fun and a magical conductor’s wand. I
know that I’ll make many mistakes, but the important thing is that I will not
have any regrets and will have fun with it. Also good thing about being a musician
is I can cast Stupefy with a baton if
someone is misbehaving in the studio. Cons are probably more numerous than my
fingers, which is as high as I want to count. Mostly it’s that I have to talk
to people, mainly the directors.
It’s hard to say what I need to do
to set me on the right path. I thought going to college was it. I already immerse
myself in every score I can think of that relates to what I want to compose,
but I guess it wouldn’t hurt if I did more research and started to build a more
concrete portfolio.
For all those who have been living under a rock and don't know what an Aslan is or the cheesiest sci-fi movie of all time.
