Ristar Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Sup. So I'm now a freelance composer, much like Tim Follin. Thing is... no one really wants to hire a composer with little to no portfolio. Here is my current demoreel: This is where some of you darlings come in. I need work. Any sort of soundtrack work, from bleeps and blips to (maybe) orchestral scores, just to beef up my portfolio. Does anyone know anyone working with, say, mobile phone game developers who may be in need of audio work? Or a short film in need of a score? I'd really like to do something... anything for now. I'll even do it for free for a while. A lot of you know that I'm a pretty able composer, just lacking in experience really. Rubbish thing about being a composer is that you have to whore yourself, much like I'm doing now. I just need contacts really! yours truly, Candy xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 No matter how many connections you have, if no one knows what you are capable of you won't find someone who wants to use you as a composer. I'd advise you build some kind of portfolio consisting of 20 second demo tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowgoten Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 http://www.minerwars.com/Wanted.aspx This game just went into pre-alpha and people are already starting to buy it. They are looking for musicians to help out, I'd say hop on that boat while you still can, once this game hits beta, it's going to be extremely popular IMO.

Ristar Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 oh champion. I've just sent an email to them, thanks a lot for the heads up man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Also, you need to diversify your portfolio outward from just chiptunes. Your portfolio should incorporate tastes of the entire range of what you are capable of. That's another reason it's good to use really small demo tunes. EDIT: Oh, I was going on that thing you posted a while ago. I'm seeing now that you actually do have more diverse stuff. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome. yeah i didn't realise how diverse my stuff actually was. It's still pretty focused though, but apparently that's a good thing. If the music I like making will strike a chord (lol) with the audio director, then I'll end up producing a great soundtrack as it'll be a style of music I enjoy. I'm flexible of course, I always want to expand my tastes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesker Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Can you make music for iphone games? I'm still working on a couple, going into full gear when I get back from Argentina. Games are still months from deployment though, so not sure what's up with your schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ristar Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 of course! I'd definitely be interested in doing something for iPhone. Just PM with details, I'm available atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
