Welcome to my MySpace page. Please enjoy the music and visit my other website. I am very interested in working with directors, producers, and production companies. If you are looking for music for a project, please let me know. I am always available to create a few minutes of soundtrack samples, free of charge (please send video or links).
Thanks,
Ed Hartman
