How many coders, devs, programmmers, IT peeps, technical design folks are also musicians and/or seriously in pursuit of music lifelong? Curious to know as for more than 30 years in tech I see a lot of crossover.

Hi there! I’m a clarinet player, i used to play in orchestra unitil my 30s, now I play with a experimental ensemble (wunderkammerorchestra.it) and i’m also a producer (martinville.it). And a php/js dev! I love to be a crossover ❤️

What a delicious mix! All puns intended. My dad played Clarinet and French horn. In 5th grade I wanted to play the trumpet and the school refused because I was a girl. Early 70s New Jersey. parents pitched a fit got nowhere pulled me out but way to kill a child's motivation.

Thanks for sharing this. The cello is a truly challenging instrument that I love. I imagine you've checked out 2 Cellos, whom I absolutely love. I have read that it was Elton John who clocked them first as worthy and put them forward kick-starting their career.

As far as I know, @storyneedle understands music closely though he might not be a musician.

90s Guitar Hero - Graphic Design - Web Development. It's a well trodden path. 🤣 I got seriously into design and the web when I was in a band in the 90s. Wish I stayed in music in some capacity though.

A lot of people left music for the web. I did. I wish I hadn't gotten so far away from Guitar especially as it is very difficult later in life to rebuild those skills. Do you find yourself revisiting music now or wanting to?

Not me but just today a colleague was talking about how happy she was that her community band was going to start up practices again.

I think we're going to see interesting things in music now that people are starting to come back face to face. I think covid brought a lot of people back to musical instruments. I experienced this. And great bands are touring again many prompted politically as well as socially!
