Interview Segment 3: A Textile Student’s Playlist (what we listen to in the kitchen)


Sophie
Hi Soph! How’s your project going? Yep project is going well! I’m in the marketing and Promotions team and there have been lots of exciting ideas flying about. We’re all really excited about this project!
Can you tell me a little a bit about your background? Hmmm…where to start! Originally from Tasmania, I studied a BA degree in Psychology but then moved to London for two years. I’ve always loved to make my own clothes so when my Visa ran out I came back home to study fashion. Fashion didn’t really do it for me and then I heard about this awesome course, so here I am!
Have you got any favourite songs that you’re listening to currently? Always! I have a healthy rotation of theme songs. At the moment I can’t stop playing Omar & Zed Bias ‘Dancing’ – it’s the best!
What do you listen to when you’re drawing? I always have music on whenever and wherever I can. To keep me in the loop I listen to BBC’s radio shows, Gilles Peterson and Benji B. They play an eclectic mix of dance-floor tunes, world music and hip hop – I stream it online.

Lori
Hey Lori! Can you tell me a bit about your background?  Well I’ve been at RMIT for a while now…before the degree I studied Screen Print Design and an advanced diploma of textile design.
What’s a typical day like when you start drawing? I attempt to have a clean and organised workspace before I start, even though it ends up chaotic by the end of the day! I also like to have all my materials and inspirations out to get me going.
Do you listen to music in the background? Yes definitely! Either that or bad TV shows if I’m drawing.
What songs are on your play list right now? Right now I’ve been listening to Pink Reason ‘Cleaning the mirror EP’, and Lana Del Ray.

Jess 
Hi Jess! How’s studio class going? Splendid, I love drawing food and especially eating it all!
What recipe have you chosen? I’m drawing a family favourite – Spinach Dip!
Do you listen to music when drawing? Sometimes, I usually just put my IPod on shuffle and listen to it on random.
Can you name some songs off your playlist? Just a few random choices –Crystalis, Battle Royal and The Request!

Bec
Hey Bec! Tell me a little bit about your background?  Well after finishing high school 3 years ago I was offered a place in the BA Fashion design. I wasn’t really too sure if fashion was right for me so I ended up studying a Cert IV in design at Brighton Bay to broaden my options. After completing a year at Brighton Bay I realised that Textiles was the course for me! And luckily I was accepted into this course… nearly 2 years passed and a year to go now!
What’s a typical day drawing day like? I try to wake up early! Usually I procrastinate for an hour or so…11 o’clock I’m usually set up with paper, paint, water, brushes, my laptop and definitely some music playing in the background!
What songs are you listening to at the moment? I’m like an obsessive compulsive when I listen to music! I like most genres except rock, punk or techno; generally I listen to a selection of mix genres. I always have a few songs that I love…that I seriously play over and over till I’m sick of it…it’s embarrassing! Right now I’m listening to Jonsi, The Middle East, Sigur Ros, Jai Paul and Jinja Safari.
What music do you like listening to when drawing? Usually lounge, soulful music with no lyrics so I don’t get distracted! Mainly Cujo.
