Hey all. I just decided recently that my goal is to some day compose video game music professionally, and I was referred here by someone on gamefaqs.com.
I am 19 years old and a pretty accomplished clarinet player. I study music at the University of Vermont and am about to start my fourth semester. I enjoy competitive ultimate frisbee.
Some of my favorite games musically:
Double Dragon (NES)
The Legend of Zelda: ALttP (SNES)
Super Mario World (SNES)
Paper Mario (N64)
Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)
Curse of Monkey Island (PC)
Grim Fandango (PC)
Warcraft II (PC)
My current goals (starting small!) are to get proficient at piano, and purchase/acquire/become proficient at Sibelius, Protools, etc, and to get my MIDI controller to work (DAMN YOU WINDOWS VISTA DAMN YOOOOU) I also need to work on ear training, hearing chords/melodies, dictation etc.
If anyone has advice on how I should start getting acquainted with this site or other advice, I would very much appreciate it. I look forward to meeting you all!
