About me:

Well, basically I'm a composer who works with orchestral samples. That's my main thing anyway. Lemme give you a bit of history on me though: I started writing music on FL Studio in April of '08. I started with basic videogame songs, mainly battle themes since that was my thing back then. I did that for about 4 months, then started expanding to more orchestral work, although it was still heavily-influenced by the videogame stuff I was doing before that. After a while, I expanded even more, and finally began to make full orchestral songs. As time went on, I improved and improved, and I can finally stand up and call myself a full-fledged composer. Now I'm moving into custom scoring for flash games and other media. Hopefully I'll have moderate success in that field, but you never know... The playlist on the page will be updated with some more recent work. Compared to what I used to do, the newer songs should sound pretty amazing. What else? Well, I'm moving into making custom scores for flash movies and games, in fact I'm partnered up for a pretty big game to be released this september. And finally, if you want to talk to me about anything audio-related, just send me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Shit, I know I'm forgetting something...well, I'm just gonna go into the stuff I accomplished so far: - My music has been featured in four flash movies/games so far (as far as I know). The songs that have been featured are: La Guerra De Los Díoses, Raining Blossoms, Revolution X, and Nanodestroyer (the last one was specifically made for a game). - My song Revolution X was featured on the frontpage of Newgrounds.com (a few audio moderators listened to the song and thought it was good enough for front page, so I'm happy as hell for that!) - My song Reunited won 8th place in a contest, miraculously (I have a feeling I spelled that wrong) placing higher than two guys that I personally look up to musically. - From what I hear, my first ever rap beat, Run Shit Down, is amazingly well-recieved among indie rappers. That wraps everything up, pretty much. If you actually read this far, well, damn, I don't even know what to say, 'cept thanks.
