Sound Design and writing music are two different things though (although sound design can cross over to music)

Hey Justin ,thanks for the AMA , i was wondering if you could elaborate on the nature of a Sound Designer job in relation with music , i'm finishing a degree in composition and have another diploma in music interpretation. Do you find yourself actually producing the music from the ground up (composition , recording , mixing ) or is it not really the job of a sound designer.

Also do you work independently most of the time ?

Is there a lot of demand for Sound Designers , and are diploma an absolute necessity? I use to live off gigs and tuition but my health doesn't allow me to tour a lot anymore and tuiton is an overcrowded sector in my country atm , so i'm really interested to learn more about this.

Thanks for the replies !

My question was going to be " are you a skinny guy?" then i saw the pictures...

Pneumothorax is extremely common with thin/skinny people , if handled correctly it is really painful but it can be a lot worse when you don't have proper care ,glad you're better.
