Hi all,
I'll try to stay brief, but here's my question:
I'm working as a researcher for a television company since a few months, but the busy schedule of my work prevents of doing much recording work. It really starts to feel very awkward: I took a five year producing course, recording and music is my life so I can't suppress the urge to want to dedicate my life to music and recording. I'm starting to feel frustrated and unhappy, and I don't think at this point my life is going the way I want it to be.
I know finding a job in the business is difficult on every part of the planet, but at this stage I'm really thinking of going a few months abroad to discover the recording world outside of tiny Belgium. I don't expect any miracles of it, but it will open my world a little bit, boost up my moral and give me more experience.
I want to meet new people, show my energy and skills and feel how the business feels on the other end of the world. Also, I'm 23 now. If I want to take a risk by leaving a few months, I have to do it now, while I still have got no kids. So I'm looking at London, the big cities in the US, or even in Canda or Australia. I can and will send emails to all the interesting recording studios, but I don't expect much of that, because they will probably get tons of mails like that.
Do any of you have some suggestions for me? Do you know a good recording studio in your area that would welcome me with a small job or internship for a few months? What places/cities do I have to go to to meet people with lots of musc/recording activity and with the same passion as me? And if you have some suggestions: any idea where I can sleep cheap.
Any help would be appreciated. If you want to contact me personally with any questions, feel free to email
