   Composer/sound designer wants to be part of independent game development (fair price)
  Hi,I am Christiaan Mooy, a composer/sound designer with a love for games and movies and 20 years of music composing/producing experience. My music style is orchestral Hollywood film scores, action, adventure, drama, fantasy and themes inspired by my heroes Zimmer, Williams and Elfman but with a personal touch. My goal is not to become a rich man but to develop my skills and extent my portfolio. Because I share the same passion in gaming as you guys I like to be part of independent game development. But nothing comes for free. For this reason I would like to offer my music and sound service to you for a nice fair price. You can listen to my portfolio on www.soundlabs.nl on the portfolio page.  If, for some reason, you encounter any problems listening to my music with my Flash player please let me know. I am also experienced with game coding in XACT: Xbox Audio Creation Tool and with creating and recording Foley FX.For more information about my music or prices please send me an e-mail at: christiaan@soundlabs.nl or reply this topic.Cheers,ChristiaanQuote:"Sound is fifty percent of the motion picture experience." - George Lucas[Edited by - Christiaan Mooy on August 22, 2008 3:52:56 AM]
  Hi Christiaan,You'll probably get more interest if you have a link so people can listen to your music.  I see you're from the Netherlands.  Your English is pretty good, but I think you meant to say "fair" price, not a "fear" price.All the best,   ;  Ah, thanks Brian,I will change it now. Can you tell me how to make a link. like you do with "My Music" I couldn't find it.Thanks in advance.Christiaan   ;  EDIT:  Here's a link to the thread that answered that same question for me.  Scroll down until you see a post by someone with the screen name "rip-off".Link;  1) read the FAQ. It tells you how to do it.2) Use the "<"a href=www.url.here">"Link text"<"/a">" tags (remove the '"') and voila   ;  I can't stream your portfolio.The green bar fills up, but it just keeps saying "Buffering..."  I've tried a number of different tracks.I notice you offer to send your portfolio on DVD.  Perhaps you should also offer a direct-download option, as well?  That way, if the streaming software doesn't work (which can be quite common, depending on a user's configuration, what kind of flash app you're using, etc.), they can grab it and play it with their media player of choice.   ;  Also, on your portfolio page, you write "We can also send u a DVD with our portfolio."  You should change "u" to "you" (as you do at the beginning of the paragraph).  It looks much more professional, and the "u" is a real turn-off.Look forward to hearing your stuff.   ;  Keeps "Buffering..." here tooI was, however, able to reproduce the music by opening it with an external audio player from the cache folder. The whole file was on my HDD, but the website still keeps saying "buffering"CheersDark Sylinc   ;  Thanks for all the advice and patience, guys. I really appreciate it. The streaming thing I don't know what that is. If anyone encounters problems with listening to my music please tell me. I will try to figure something out.Christiaan
