Composer Looking For Projects Needing Emotional Music

[Kindred87]

Well, the thread title sums up the situation nicely.
I'm a newbie composer looking to score for certain visual novel projects (I'd put up desired criteria but that'd get way too in-depth).

Up until two days ago, I was working my ways towards composing strong, cinematic music for mainstream Western (not the cowboy type) titles. I finally got to the point where I joined two different indie projects too. However, I stumbled across a Visual Novel over at IndieDB a few days ago. And after a large amount of related-game browsing and Google searches I eventually came to find my way here. (To where the magic happens?)
I quickly realized that scoring a Visual Novel could potentially be loads of fun. This is because I'm all about putting emotion into my works, and story-driven experiences tend to deal with such levels of emotion. Scoring for an FPS indie game is cool and all, but techno action beats aren't emotional for me. Not at all xP.

Since I've been focusing on Western game scores (as mentioned prior) my portfolio is filled with music that unfortunately doesn't really apply to Visual Novels. Though to great fortune, I can work in a wide variety of styles, and I'm very adept at developing new ones as well. So when you listen to my work, try to focus on the quality and expression of the music, and not what kind of media it'd be best suited for.

With all of that said, please ask questions as I love providing answers.

It's my hope that I'll be able to compose music for your project,

P.S.~ As a side-note, I highly recommend Limebooth if you're looking for musicians. There aren't many score composers over there, but the site is infested with aspiring vocalists and instrumentalists. Of whom may be willing to collaborate with you. ^^





It's with great regret that I deem this thread obsolete.

Wow- I really like the sound of these!!! *o* They really are nice!

Are you offering your services for free though, or you're looking for a paid project?

[Crusher]

Furthermore: Do you want to make complete soundtracks or just write some requested tracks that are needed? If the second one is the case I'll definitely keep you in mind and contact you sometime . Although the style is not really something I prefer it's more than enough to see what you are capable of. Sounds very good!

[Kindred87]

@Alera, I'm a newb at this so the work is totally free. Of course, I'd be interested in royalties... o.O

@Crusher, I can do either, working on a few specific tracks or basically everything! And yes, the style of my portfolio isn't very suitable for Visual Novels (as said in the OP xP). So I'd have to more or less get into the proper style on my first project. Though I'm really good about taking on new styles, and quickly too.

Ah, is it possible for me to request a song for one of my projects?

[Kindred87]

@HigurashiKira

A pre-existing song or a custom one? (I really hope it isn't the former haha)

[HigurashiKira]

@HigurashiKira

A pre-existing song or a custom one? (I really hope it isn't the former haha)

After taking a listen to all your songs, gonna have to say a custom one. Mainly, something depressing, a song fit for a heart-broken person.

[Kindred87]

Good ^^, go ahead and PM me and we can discuss things further from there.

[Death_HUG]

Can I request song for one of my games too?

[Weakjounin]

Could I ask for a song? Not now though, since I haven't made that much progress with my vn yet.

[Kindred87]

Well I'd like to thank everyone for the replies and PM's. I wasn't expecting this many people to be interested in my work haha, though please, keep 'em coming. I'd like to have work lined up for me. xD

@Death_HUG I'm currently working on HigurashiKira's request, before talking with one or two people about writing music for their projects. So I'm a little preoccupied, though I'll contact you once I get things settled. ^^

@Weakjounin Sure, you can request a song later on. Of course, I'm not sure what I'll be doing or when I'll be doing it in the future, so I can't guarantee that I''ll be able to immediately work on your request upon its receival.

[poppyrocks]

Can i ask for onee XD? or is it too late D:

[Crocosquirrel]

I hope it's not too late... I may need a couple of soundtracks.

[Lumen_Astrum]

Can I ask for one track? Only one... *puppy eyes*

[Kindred87]

Holy crap people! Haha, so many requests x)

DarkSpartan, I messaged you and I'll still be contacting you once things are settled; just as I said in the message.

As for the other posts (prior to this) asking for single tracks, yes, I'll compose certain songs for you, but not immediately.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is my to-do list for right now~

1- Completed HigurashiKira's request.

2- Completed first song for Rin's project (Contacted via PM)

3- Completed Death_HUG's request.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those of you that want entire soundtracks, I'm pretty booked. I already dropped an indie project so I could have more time for you guys, but I can't add another entire soundtrack to my to-do list. I can possibly arrange for the composition of several songs, but not an entire soundtrack.

For those with the single song requests, keep 'em coming. But know that things operate on a "first come, first served" basis here, so you may need to wait for me to carry out all of the requests that were submitted before your own.
