Multi-genre composer/arranger/performer.

Hello. You're wondering why you should care, I have no doubt, as there are already a lot of others available through this board, so I'll cut to the chase.
My strengths are Versatility, Speed, and Realism.
Versatility: Classically trained, as are many of the others I'm sure, but I also have worked (both as performer and composer) in jazz, Latin jazz, salsa (and cumbia, merengue, guaguanco, boogaloo, etc.), progressive rock, metal, pop, and electronic music. I do chiptunes as well.
Speed: A straightforward three-minute track, from start to finish, might run a day or two. This of course will depend on any backlog that I might have, and the complexity of what you want. If you want a full orchestra, it's obviously going to take quite a bit longer.
Realism: If I can't get the instruments to sound convincing, I'll use ones where I can -- even if that involves extensive rewriting.
Lately I've been working with a VN that doesn't take itself too seriously, and consequently, neither does the music. You can check out my work here: https://mal-2.bandcamp.com/album/ebow-lechan.
I have more serious work as well, and have produced a set of songs for a game that may well never be made (https://whitemice.bandcamp.com/album/sendai-aerospace). This is exactly why I am offering my services to others -- I want to be involved in projects that will actually get released, and where I do not have to carry leadership or writing or other roles just to keep the project moving.
Lately I've contributed tracks to Autistic Rage Festival (a series of periodic releases from 8chan /mu/). Unfortunately, only other /mu/ people ever pay attention to them.
Rates: Highly negotiable. If you're trying to create a free release, and your demands aren't too great (namely, it won't eat up too much time and I can re-use the material elsewhere), I may be willing to work with you for credit alone. If you're working on a commercial release, and demand exclusive licensing, then I'll base it on the time I think it will take and offer a quote. Obviously every case will vary by its complexity, but as an example use the work for the VN above. Aside from the more complex classical orchestrations, my rate for exclusive licensing of such work would be around $40 per completed minute. This could drop considerably under certain circumstances, such as if I'm able to use certain tools and resources to accelerate the development time.
You would not be asked to pay for anything unless you actually opt to take it. At the same time, if you decline completed work, I'd expect to receive an explanation why. Failure to do so would almost certainly lead to my rejection of further requests. If I didn't correctly interpret your desires, yet you're not willing to help me correct my misconceptions, I'm wasting my time and yours.
