Need Music?

I love player made videos and wish I had the time and patience (probably need more of the later) to try my hand at it. What I'm curious about though is there anyone out there that would want custom made music for their CoX videos? I'm a musician and a gamer and I'd love to do something involving both. I'm at the "real" job now so I don't access to more samples but here are two projects that I have on myspace.

Glitchpoint Alternative/ Nu Rock, Industrial, whatever it may be called this is my current project and the other band members are comic nerds and gamers too.

Soul Trace Trip-hop, more chill kind of music. This hasn't been updated in a while, but I'm always doing music like this.

If anyone's interested, let me know in this thread or through a PM.

For myself, I tend to use more symphonic, orchestral stuff - however, I am not averse to taking a crack with different types of music. (Listening to both now - I like "Waste"... this would so be me shooting in the RWZ.)

I will give the rest of your stuff a listen and keep it in mind.

I had some more tradtitional "orchestrated" (syntehsized and sampled) pieces on another website that no longer exists. I was kind of testing the waters to even see if there would be interest at all. I will upload some different samples to a site sometime this evening. Thanks

<edit> Maybe I should ask the question of how people go about making your videos. Do you generally start with and idea then look for fitting music? Or do you hear a song and try to fit the video to the music? I'd assume there'd be a pretty evenly mix of both. I think what I'll do to get myself started in here is to make a few tracks of different flavors inspired by CoX.

Hear a song and fit the video to it.

And we're actually trying to find some people to do music for the game projects we have going on here at Full Sail, especially our final project. I can't listen to your samples just yet here, but I'll check them out later at home after class. If you'd be interested in making music for an actual game like an RPG or Shooter or Platformer, lemme know.

Bingo!!

This link will to take you to an open directory (that I snuck into the band's webpage) of some instrumental pieces I did a while back. Most of these were done with no real purpose in mind, but I think between the things on the two Myspace links and this, it should give a good idea of what different things I can do.

Me myself I have been playing for 24 years now, guitar, drums, synth, bass, violin, mandolin and some others :-) I have a BUNCH of originals, prob 8 albums worth complete(much more goofin off. If I knew how to put a link to (one) of my songs on here I would, but I dont know how lol.
Im not a free agent tho, music is how I make my moola :-)
But I would let you all hear one of my tunes :-)

I play all types but rotten rap and country :-P

And I WONT use myspace! You can get ripped off!

I do it both ways - sometimes I hear a piece and fit a video to it (a la "Time to Start" by Blue Man Group); other times I create a video and look for music that works (a la the I-10 Rikti Invasion trailer I did). I think the one thing all the videographers on here can agree on is we all have our own way of doing things.

I will take a listen to your more 'orchestral' stuff when I have a bit of a break!
