I write gear reviews for a living. It's a really cool job, where I get to play with all the new kit on the market - sadly have to send it all back, though. :cry:

I'm a student at Middlesex University studying for a BA in Sonic Arts. After that? Who knows, all I know is that I'm having a lot of fun, and I love what I'm doing at university.

Web developer at the moment, html, php, javascript, databases and all that crap... its interesting at times, pays the rent and feeds my addiction, but takes up way too much of my time right now.

Tried to do some library music (for tv, ads etc) but realised it was not gonna feed me for a couple of years at least, was also on the dole (benefits) for ages, but found I was not that much more productive than when I was working, mainly due to money worries and lack of focus...

ideally, 3-4 days a week in an inspiring job would be great!
