Indeed, that’s what I thought… I’m actually reliant on music for my income as a sound engineer (mostly studio but some live).
I’m getting on a bit and my gut tells me to double down but the sense of insecurity is always front of mind.
At this point I really don’t know where I would pivot to with my skill set. I’m always up for learning new things but if the industry is toast, finding another industry that I can enter at a decent level is baffling to be honest.
