Emotionally loaded music for games

#1 I listened to your music its really good for games. I will keep it in mind, but right now im still trying to learn to know about torque and C++. I didn't even buy torque yet cause i first wanna know if i will be able to understand this engine so it will take a while before i need any music haha :) I just dont wanna spend 1000 dollars on a game engine if i dont know if i will ever understand it good enough to really do something with it :P

#2 Hi Alexander,

Great you liked it!

Take it easy at the first...you will get it finally for sure.

All the best,
Manuel

#3 Thanks! I got the book The game programmer's guide to Torque so i hope it will help me on the way. Got 6 years experience with design and 3d programs, and i used to mess around with 3dgamestudio so i think after a while i will get around with torque :)

Good luck with ur music :)

#4 Hi Manuel,

I listened to your samplings and I have to say, I'm really impressed!
You clearly have some great talents, and I've never been afraid to say that music and sound effects are just as important (and sometimes moreso - the score to The Dark Knight, for example) as all other aspects of digital entertainment.

"Video Games Demo" was the kind of quality I'd expect to hear in a game like Modern Warfare II, and when I heard "Tale for Kale", I couldn't help but think of Yasunori Mitsuda's work on Chrono Trigger (if you knew me well, you'd understand the full extent of that compliment).

I'm an indie developer and I would be all too happy to use your music in my projects, but money is of great concern to me (unfortunately), as I have little to spare (even more unfortunately), so, could you tell me, for example, how much you would have charged me for going through the full range of activities to get "Video Games Demo" and "Tale of Kale" made for me?

Thank you very much, keep up the great work!
Krister.

#5 Hi Krister.

I am really happy knowing your thoughts about my music. I would like to thank you so much for your kind words and taking a moment to listen for the music.

There are several ways to get nice custom music for your projects and and not get ruined. The cheaper one, with an online music library catalogue: You can looking for a piece you like and get it licensed to you. It will be cheap for sure...just to give you a rough guide, maybe as cheap as 150$ a piece. That way you will be allowed to use it legally. The cons of this option...anyone could use the same music for any other project and it has not been created just for your projects, so finding the "right" music would be really time consuming.

But knowing you liked my music, and following the fine musical examples you gave, I already know you like fine orchestral and hybrid orchestral/electronic. The bad news: these kind of stuff usually is really hard to get, there's a lot of arranging and producing work involved, really higher than making other music styles.

Anyway, I would like to say you the same I usually say to indie developers...just drop me an email with a brief about your project and I will try to find a fair way to provide you some music.

Thank you so much one more time.
Manuel
