Hi all,
Where am I at? I'm a year away from finishing my bachelors degree in music composition, and am currently sorting through grad school apps. I'm trying to get into a few good schools in New York that have a reputation for new music. My composition professor at GVSU brings in many people from New York to give lectures and other things, which has been really inspiring and has only added for my desire to make it to New York.
Most of my time these days is spent writing music. Most recently I was hired to write for a special art gallery event, which was a terrific experience. If any of you are curious to hear what I am doing, please visit my Sound Cloud:

soundcloud.com/john-c-l-jansen…I'm almost finished building my website, which I will post up here when I am finished. I've still been doing recording work too...I'm close to having a decent home studio, and I am an assistant engineer at a studio in my hometown.
Despite all of this I still do visual art too. I think at some point I will reach a point of synthesis between all of my skills. I will do my best to post up some of my projects soon, but recently I am delving headlong into character animation (In all of my non-existent spare time). I'm really, really, excited about what the next few months will bring.
I hope you all are doing well!!
