Non-paying gig for Political Radio Show
Geoffrey Taucer replied to Hyperion5182's topic in Recruit & Collaborate!
No, it's a full time job requiring extensive expertise and it pays accordingly. No, I have no such ambitions. I coach for a variety of reasons, and one of those reasons is that I have to pay rent and buy groceries. Would you go to a lawyer and offer her the "opportunity" to represent you pro bono? There's a difference between somebody volunteering their work and you soliciting work for free. When somebody offers to work for you for free, you should be damn grateful for it and respect that they are probably making an exception for you. It doesn't mean it is then acceptable to then go and ask other people to do the same thing. I'll do free work for charitable non-commercial organizations, and that's it (and even that only if I have the time for it, which I usually don't). My apologies for considering musical work to be worth more than $0. I don't know what could have possibly come over me to make me think such a ridiculous thing. -
Non-paying gig for Political Radio Show
Geoffrey Taucer replied to Hyperion5182's topic in Recruit & Collaborate!
I want you to take a second and imagine you are talking to just about anybody else -- a plumber, a lawyer, a teacher, a doctor, literally anything other than a music composer -- and imagine you offered them the "opportunity" to provide their services to you for free. Does the above scenario sound ridiculous? It does? That's because it is ridiculous. In other words, -
Initial character impressions: Yoshi: feels fucking great. Might be my new main. Shulk: fun. Fox: feels like complete ass, but maybe I'm just too used to how he handled in melee. Kirby and Ness: better than I expected. Ganondorf and Mario: Meh. Rosalina: how do I drive this thing? Palutena: I must Captain Falcon: Feels more or less right, but the timing is just off enough that I have not yet been able to sweet spot the knee a single time. Is there even a sweet spot for it in this game? Shiek: decent. Robin: loads of fun.

Got mine, waiting for a system update to complete so I can play it. I have the 3DS version, but I've hardly played it at all

Visually spectacular! Mechanics look a little weird, but on the whole it looks like a fitting tribute. However..... nintendo is not known for taking a liking to these sorts of projects, and it's overwhelmingly likely that they'll hit you with a C&D as soon as they find out about it, sorry to say.

OCR02979 - Chrono Trigger "Jewel of Enhasa"
Geoffrey Taucer replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Loved it right from the first note. Gorgeous soundscape, catchy rythm, beautiful violin. I love everything about this track. -
What are you career goals?
Geoffrey Taucer replied to The Legendary Zoltan's topic in General Discussion
I've actually accomplished almost all of the dreams I had when I was younger. I've been a professional juggler, a professional composerand musician, and while I was never a "professional" gymnast I did get a chance to compete against several Olympians and was the first person in the world to compete a Kaz Double Front vault. Living the dreams was great, but a quieter and simpler life of coaching suits me fine these days. -
What are you career goals?
Geoffrey Taucer replied to The Legendary Zoltan's topic in General Discussion
I've been coaching gymnastics for the last 10 years, and I really don't have any major goals beyond what I've already accomplished. My goal is to see kids stay in shape and build self-confidence and a love of the sport, and I get to do that every day. I think I'd be content to keep doing this for the rest of my working life. But if I could easily switch careers at this point, I think my dream job would be researching in astrobiology. Unfortunately, there's many years of school (and thus thousands of dollars) between here and there..... -

The Legend of Korra (potential spoilers within)
Geoffrey Taucer replied to KyleJCrb's topic in General Discussion
I wonder what the story is? I mean, Nick has clearly been going WAY out of it's way to fuck up the delivery this season. Somebody must have pissed of a nick exec or something. -
The Legend of Korra (potential spoilers within)
Geoffrey Taucer replied to KyleJCrb's topic in General Discussion
Just watched the Season 2 finale. On the whole, I'm far less impressed with this series than I was with TLA. The writing isn't as good, the characters aren't as compelling, and there are too many scenes that just feel forced and cheesy. But the visuals and the fight scenes are stunning, as is the music. And for both books, the finale found a way to make my jaw drop at the end. -
OCR02890 - Mega Man X4 & X6 "Race the Phoenix"
Geoffrey Taucer replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Love it. Love the chip leads, love the driving rhythm. My one complaint is that some of the synths sound like they have a little too much reverb. -

Not in this style per se, but most of what I do is folk-influenced. -
