Reply To: Who here is a musician?
I'm a music composition major at the Oberlin Conservatory of music, and also a pinao player for whoever needs me, and a vocalist(though currently I've got no piano gigs, and only am in one chorus(Oberlin's Collegium Musicum).
Currently I'm big into musical theater, but in writing respectable musical theater music, as opposed to the Rent-esque music that is often ascribed to the field. My big thing is using elements of polytonality in music that's still accessible enough to survive in the theater world.
