            "Three" is a powerful number. Mythology, religion, mysticism,
              numerology - all atribute special meaning to this particular digit
              and we'd like to explore this further.
          
          
            Each month the three Music Ecology members will chose a topic to
              share three of their thoughts or observations on. We'd love to
              hear what you have to say on it too. 
          
          
            
          
          
            "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long
            plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die
            like dogs. There's also a negative side."
-Hunter S. Thompson
          
          
            This month we'd like to talk about the reasons that make the three
            of us want to work in the music industry - the industry where the
            odds are almost never in your favor, where dreams crash and burn,
            and aspirations turn into obsessions.

                        For the love of music: as a drummer in multiple
                          bands- I get to be in touch with many different
                          kinds of musicians and work within all genres of
                          music such as: jazz/
                          rock/jam/edm/blues/fusion/funk/trap/hip hop/ house
                          etc,. As a DJ
                          (The MadMauritian)
                          I get to hear and expand my music experiences to
                          create something new, as well as meet producers
                          across the world.

                        To build or join a strong network / community for
                          musicians: reaching out to DJs, producers, musicians
                          to learn and share experiences to allow for
                          sustainable success. Thus connecting to vital
                          productions groups, clubs, and other live music
                          businesses to put on bigger shows.

                      I want to make a difference in a male-dominated
                        industry. I think it's safe to say that women have
                        proved to be an asset in every single field previously
                        denied to them. In the music industry women have always
                        been present but up until recently only in the "talent"
                        capacity and never in executive positions. I like being
                        one of the persons changing this.

                      I am good at it. It's an amazing feeling to be proud of
                        your accomplishments. Working in the music industry
                        allows me to experience it. Yes, sometimes it's
                        soul-crushing when my efforts don't pay off but when
                        they do, I feel like I have super powers
                    
 
                    - 
                      For the groupies. When I grow up, I want to be just
                        like my hero Mallory Archer
                        
 - sassy, drunk and hitting on younger men. I think a position in the music industry will be a
                        perfect setting for this behavior.
