It seems our tour this semester have been somewhat divided into two categories; we first visited studios and music production facilities. Now we appear to have finished what seemed like the second half made up of entirely film production content. Completing our travels, we visited a jingle studio, owned and managed my Sean Timms.
Greeted with guest lollies and a comfy lounge, it really felt I was at home ready to begin watching predominantly garbage advertising, then again I mainly watch ABC, however the facilities at ‘Timms Tunes’ were quite advanced. And Sean, gave some really great insight into not just how he makes jingles, but also how to make it in the music production industry, something which we haven’t heard a lot of in our travels.
He began with asking us what we would like to do in the future, as engineers… This created somewhat of a dubious feeling in my mind; I wasn’t exactly sure what I want to do, but I do know I would love to do everything that I can. Moving on though, Sean had a lot of outboard gear, which to my surprise he said he doesn’t really use anymore because digital is much quicker and easier to use, particularly in creating music.We were then introduced to two of his employees, who both had different personalities, but both shared the qualities that Sean specifically looks for in a person when making selections. We were also given the oppurtunity to hear how exactly Sean creates his jingles.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, and it gave me a better understanding of the advertising industry, but most importantly the aspects which you need in order to make it in the music industry.
