[POST TO ENTER! Meet Uematsu! Win VGM! (July 29th deadline!)]

Posting in this epic thread. I of course had to like Nobuo Uematsu on Facebook as well. Thank you for alerting me to this tragedy.

[Looking for proficient musicians]

I'd definitely be interested. I play flute (although, I'm a little rusty). I've been playing for about 12 years, and I have an undergrad music degree in flute performance from a non-conservatory school.

I'm not near LA, and I don't really have recording equipment (a video camera and a built-in laptop mic), but I might change that depending on some various things. I don't have any sort of demo online, but I'm planning on uploading some casual video game/anime songs to Youtube in the future. If I do get around to that, I'll post links here. A private message is probably my most preferred contact method for now.

This piece is absolutely incredible!!! I love the perfect blend of the synthesized sounds with the guitar. This made my list of first ten songs downloaded, and is still a personal favorite

A wonderful example of two enjoyable themes merged beautifully. Excellent work. This one made my mp3 player on my second day of having it
