After having never met Rob Deemer before in person, I had TWO conversations with him in less than a week for the podcast! Conversation No. 1 was marred by some unexpected audio issues, so we re-recorded less than a week later, and that’s what you’re getting this week.
During Convo No. 2, we talked about:
- How side projects can boost your career
- Being able to talk about your music
- Labels as specifiers & Labels as marketing
- Drawing parallels between concert music and other fields
- The ways we talk about “new music”
- Music as an Experience
- Program notes
- Social media as a serious form of professional communication
- Interacting with musicians when you (or they) live outside of a major metropolitan area
- Teaching inexperienced artists how to interact on social media
- Forming deeper relationships online
- Building community in different ways
- Relating public professional interactions to professional didactic experiences
- Operating as a professional online
- Being human and approachable online
- Teaching teachers to compose
- Teaching entrepreneurship and business skills
- The history of self publishing & the history of teaching music in universities
- Career trajectories
- Short term gains vs. long term sacrifices in publishing
- Making educated and thoughtful business decisions
- Balancing your time between admin tasks and writing
However!
Since we covered such vastly different material in each conversation (of course with not-insignificant overlap), we’ve decided to offer our first conversation as “bonus content” for this week’s episode, if you don’t mind listening to “the sexiest voice in classical music” through a slight haze of static.
