We had a lovely young gentle man from in the groove come talk to us this week in calm. He basically told us that he sits in his boxers and makes a living. Definitely something that caught my attention.
From my understanding he and a few other guys write music and license it for use through in the groove music. The songs or sound bites are used for commercials movie or whatever else is in need of musical enhancement. Sometime people just look through his online catalog for use and other times they are hired to demo a piece that may or may not be used.
I find this as a very intriguing notch in your musical belt per-say. I don't know if I would enjoy doing this kind of work full time but it could be very beneficial to set aside creative time every week to start building a sound library that could generate income in the future. And with the computer power available on a standard mac book pro this would be something easy to get into. I'm assuming it would be hard to make a living doing this but easily could become another iron in the fire helping finance your musical career.
