      dude…

      edit: I studied physics, quit, became a bass player, then a street musician playing percussion, then software developer, then translator, then studied classical music composition, then quit, then became conference interpreter, then learned neural networks and gave a seminar on using neural networks in contemporary music at Ircam Paris in 2018, then went back to studying composition at the university. This year I will finally graduate at 41. Hope to do my masters and become a college professor.
