zircon Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 A couple years ago, I edited + arranged some music for a juggler in the NYC area, Meike Fromm (or simply "Mika"). A month or two ago she asked if I could write some new material for her, and I said I would try, but I simply don't have the time right now. I promised I would find at least one replacement, so here I am looking. This is a paid gig assuming she uses your music. Website: http://diabolomika.com/ Video: http://diabolomika.com/videos/mika.mov So as you can see, she uses a number of musical styles, most of them being fairly rhythmic in nature, and tending to be on the uptempo side. Having access to various ethnic sounds, particularly Japanese/Chinese, is a plus. Last we spoke she was looking for something perhaps in the vein of an anime theme (maybe more like J-pop, that's the impression I got.) If you're interested, please PM me and include your email and full name, plus website/demo (if applicable.) You absolutely MUST: 1. Be willing to work with her (the client) and make revisions. English is not her first language, and she is not a musician. 2. Be willing to speak on the phone; this might be a given for some, but when I have worked with her, it was always easier and more efficient to go over things that way. 3. Have decent quality samples - if you haven't done any paid work before, and/or don't have a remix posted.. eg. if you're just some guy with FL, don't bother. Like I said this is a *pro* gig, this music will be used repeatedly in a wide variety of live performances. If you're not a serious musician this isn't for you. Again, a website & demo are preferred, but not necessary. I will pass on the contact info of interested parties along. Best of luck, and if you're interested please reply ASAP, I want to get the ball rolling.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 Bump, surely someone here must be interested in earning some money for writing music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Taucer Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 How much money are we talking about here? I'm currently slammed with work, but most of it I'm not getting paid for; in other words if this pays enough, it will jump to the top of my priority list.

zircon Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 I honestly don't know, because I don't know the specifics of the project. I know it's not gonna be like $50 or $100 or some pocket change like that, since (based on her description) it's a decent amount of music. But you'd have to talk it over with her.

Blake Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 That's really cool. Someone should hit up SGX or something. I am actually also interested because I'll have nothing to do after this week (finals week) for like a month. There are a million people way more qualified and more in need of money to do this however. But put me down for being interested EDIT: Nevermind. Watched the video and thought about it a little and realized I'm not really cut out for this style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumUltimA Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 my roommate is a composition major, his stuff is all very upbeat and lively. I'll ask him tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Maybe I'm freakin' retarded but I couldn't find the PM button.Hope that's not a bad indication, but I'm interested in the gig. PM/eMail me so we can get the ball rolling? You're not retarded, Mustin. There is no PM button. If you want to send a PM to someone, you have to click on their name, scroll down a bit, and click the "Send a private message to _____" line in the "Contact Info" box. Not particularly streamlined, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
