Heyy everyone! My name should be visible right above me so I'm not gonna say that I am YuriTajento I'm a 20 year old guy from the Netherlands and I've been lurking around a little bit before registering. Big fan of video game music (overall I prefer lyricless music, like most soundtracks, over music with lyrics) and it's likely that the music is part of my love for these video games:
-Kingdom Hearts
-Pokémon
-Professor Layton
-Patapon
-Epic Mickey
-Henry Hatsworth
-Rhythm Paradise
-Rayman
"But what the heck are you doing here, you nutjob?" Glad you asked Well, I wish to improve my (almost non-existent) music-producing skills and try to make remixes of aforementioned games. I have so far worked with Anvil Studio (and Mario Paint Composer... kind of ), but AS was pretty limited and at the same time challenging for me to get the hang of. I might get something like Cubase pretty soon, but I'm not sure if it's the right program for me yet. (I am also not too good with computers)
I do have some musical skills though. I have played flute, drums, guitar and even marimba in the school band, but most of that was a long time ago. I have just started with keyboard lessons but the first lesson proved that I got the hang of the basics... I also was able to play "Father Jacob" on the climbing frame when I was six without any music lessons. Truly, a prodigy was born... and a modest one at that
Anyways, my final goal in... life, I guess, is to create music for movies and video games. I will try to get into an art school next year, but then I have to practice. So... here I am.
Sorry for this messy mess of an introduction
PS: When I click on this thread in the menu, it opens on the very last page, instead of on the very first (the one from Mahaboo). Is that supposed to happen? It's kinda weird.
