music2work2 - it had better work...

So, after more than 2 years working full time on the Kelli project - I'm looking for a new challenge. Spent the back end of last week looking at me, my life, what I have done, my skills, experiences etc and found it to be a very illuminating experience and one that actually made me feel pretty good. Of course - my resume doesn't look terribly "normal" - I don't know many other people who dropped a corporate career at the age of 30 to join a rock band in Los Angeles - but hey - I've been exposed to so much that I would never have experienced - I wouldn't change a thing.

I have managed to distill myself down into three key areas: Music, People and Technology -  I'm going to build my resume and job search around these constructs.  I will be using this blog as a tool to help me with the process - I reckon that the more open I am - the easier it is for a future employer to see whether I am a good fit.  Here are the plans for this week:

1/ Finish Resume - target end of play Monday

2/ Finish http://andrewmccluskey.com - target Tuesday

3/ New Front Page for http://music2work2.com - target Thursday

4/ Update layout of music2work2 Blog - target Friday

5/ Finish editing new piece of music: Frustration - target Friday

6/ Add CD/Album pages to music2work2 plus direct purchase links to iTunes etc - target Friday

7/ Research and possibly apply to http://fanscape.com - target Tuesday

So - let's see how far I get - oh - and music2work2 does work - I was listening to frustration while writing this and it did block everything else out - ;-)

Benny Woo

Like music2work2 composer/performer Andrew McCluskey, our MySpace friend Benny Woo is also a Scotsman. His music is categorized as Classical/Acoustic/Folk. There are only two sample music pieces to hear on his MySpace page. Both are lovely, melodic pieces. I especially like Love is a Wild and Untamed Bird which is relaxing and calming. Eggshell is nice, as well, but faster tempo and more dramatic.

According to the information on Benny Woo's MySpace page, new music will be available soon. I'll be looking forward to hearing it.
