A career limiting health scare during his studies in Austria forced Joel Carnegie to shift perspective from his planned path and figure out how to build a life centred in music and sound, not in orchestral performance. Joel shares this compelling story and how his training in both music and communications come together in his work as a broadcaster to allow him to uncover, discover and bring to life stories that challenge and inspire.
Joel Carnegie is an award winning broadcaster, documentary maker, performer and founder of the international media production house The Space Company. Joel pursued a Performance Degree on Horn from the University of Melbourne and Die Universität für Musik und darstellende Austria, and post graduate study in Communications and Media at RMIT before building his unique career as an entrepreneur, storyteller, performer and musician.
QUOTES
“There was one track for me, that was finishing Year 12, heading off to the Conservatorium and sailing off into the sunset to become an orchestral musician. That was really what I thought life was going to be like.”
“Music needs to speak something of today or needs to connect with someone about something of today. Great music does that and music that doesn’t, perhaps shouldn’t be played.”
“There is life beyond music, there is life beyond study and there is life beyond Mozart.”
