SPEAKERS SPEAKERS SPEAKERS SPEAKERS SPEAKERS

I think I am a boring person hahaha, but in the future my dream job will be design speakers in a big company like Fender or Marshall. 

Let me tell you some things about myself. I like musical production, which is the first activity we think about a sound engineer here in the faculty because it is a direct science/art activity, but it isn't in my deeply interests. To be honest with you, I am horrible in musical production's activities, and music as well. However, acoustics, math equations, architectural activities, electrical equipment, distorted sounds, live sounds, etcetc fascinated me. (dull things in a first view, but too beautiful).

I imagine myself designing speakers customized for great artists, working side by side with special people, building wires with the best quality, calculating equations for optimization (etc), learning a lot, going to concerts, I don't know, a boring job but beautiful at the same time.

In this job I will mainly need a lot of knowledge about math, acoustics and electronics, and more important being able to learn all the time.

I choose this job as my dream job because I don't care much about money, or being a famous person. I just want music sound good.

Some people love musical production, others love music performances, others microphones, and others speakers. My love for speakers came to rock music, I remember when I read the autobiography by Keith Richards, it blows my mind. He in his 16th started with music thanks to Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters (...) influences, and he was a poor boy, so to get a distortion sound he opened his amplifiers and changes wires, set stuffs and other primitive things to get a broken sound. I recommend to you to listen this song because the guitar riff (played by Keith) sounds extremely dirty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz5mI6tqm_Q


The Fender 5F8-A Twins, one of the favorite's amplifiers for Keith. (I think it is an stereo set)


Watch a demostration of the sound for this amp played by Pierre de Beauport on a soundcheck, Pierre is Keith's instrument curator and inventory manager Sound of 5F8-A Twins
Another video demostration 1959 Fender Twin Amp
