Independent study
- On your blog, describe your future aspirations and consider how these have been shaped by study and work experience, your peers and other key influences on your practice.
As I mentioned before, my main focus after graduating will be to find a permanent job. This could change in the future and I might explore a more freelance and gig based schedule, but after these years in university I think that I want to try with a fixed routine to get some stability. On the side I will keep making and releasing compositions, attending to events, etc… and as a new aspiration I’d like to get into exhibitions exploring digital art and sound installations.
Another possibility that is starting to take shape is to continue studying, and I already have some ideas and interests to pursue a Masters course in London.

These are really big companies but are the only ones that come into mind right now, they’re media companies like Netflix for sound design and composition, King for game audio or even Sony or Universal Music. Museums like Tate or the Design Museum are other institutions which I always enjoyed visiting and obviously are places which are really relevant in the arts world. I know these brands are extremely competitive at professional level but these are ones that we all know, probably similar institutions but at a slightly lower level of popularity would be great to have a look at.
