Writing music for a porn flick would be awesome, it's not a weird request at all. Porn music is pretty much the same as 90s fighting game music. PORN MUSIC IS AWESOME

Rock out with your



out indeed.

I went to one of those unreputable, 2 year, for-profit colleges for audio/video production. My classmates were mostly ghetto thugs who thought their shitty little beat machine and an associates degree from this place meant they would become the next big hip hop star even though everything I heard from them the entire time I was there completely and unequivically sucked ass.

So for an assignment I threw together this little chiptune inspired electronica song in Reason overnight, and they hear it and think I'm some kind of music production god. Moments later, this exchange happens...

"Yo dawg, you ever heard of the Zeppelins?"

"Led Zeppelin?"

"That was it!"

"Yeah, they're a great band."

"I was listening to this hot track on the way here... what was it called again... something about Heaven..."

"Stairway to Heaven."

"Yeah mang! That track was tight! I was thinkin' maybe you could make a beat out of it for me to flow over. I'll pay you... I dunno mang, like $30 dollars."

"Yeah, I'll get right on that."

Back in primary school, around 2005, when the only thing I could write was lyrics, I came up with some mournful thing about how my crush/best friend (same person, it was a girl) moved away without telling me.

Two days later, a girl I knew asked if I could write a song about her. No money, no nothing, just a song about her. I was about eleven, so meh, I said whatever.

Now I've written all of ONE song to completion, and guess what? Not about her.

It does rounds on Facebook from me, plus it was part of a documentary on Aspergers Syndrome I was part of as a person involved, but no, it wasn't the mournful thing...still sad, but a new song.

Being asked to write a song about a person isn't really that strange of a request. ! Cool story though!

....as an eleven year old who only played piano? I think it is rather strange, but maybe that's just me.

I was hoping some of the professional game composers we had hear could chime in - surely not all the requests they've had were Soul Calibur 5 and Mass Effect 2...
