This place is a truly amazing forum!!! I really can't wait to get involved here and get to know you guys!!! It sounds like Frederik Magle has really come up with something extraordinary here!!

Well, I'm just joining so I'll offer a few things up about me, but I don't want to come off as "going on and on". I'll keep it brief, but feel free to ask me anything.

I'm a composer from St Louis Missouri in the U.S. and am working towards scoring for film, video games and other media. My primary performance instrument is guitar, which is what I play in live situations from jazz to fusion, to rock and pop. My primary focus right now, though, is composing orchestral music with a cinematic soundscape. I have all kinds of examples of all of this stuff, but don't want to join here spamming you guys, that's not what I'm about. But if you're interested in checking out anything I've done, I'll offer a few links.

Hi there, I heard that you were an Arranger. Is it possible you could arrange some music into Full Orchestral Scores for me? The music is from an incredible game called Xenoblade Chronicles, which is renowned for its godly soundtracks. List of music below:

rologue A-B (For all purposes these two can be considered the same track. In the game these segment into each other, so they should be composed like this:

*PHEW* That was a long list! Remember people can share the load, one person doesn't have to do them all. Oh and could any vocal/synthesizers be swapped for real instruments (e.g. Strings, Brass).

*THANKS SO MUCH GUYS!!!*

P.S. The music is for a Xenoblade concert I am organising: Ballad of the Bionis.

Hey there Scott. Nice to see you here. I'm also a composer/arranger/orchestrator, with many of my works having performances in Australia and Canada. Film scoring is a challenge from what I understand, very prescriptive (obviously), good luck with your dream.
