Video Game Music Producer/Composer Collective

So to quote my previous posts in the other thread,

You know, if anyone's interested, we could probably start a collective of video game music composers/producers and use that to legitimize and advertise ourselves as well as support each other.

I was just thinking of having a website with different profiles for each of us with demo music and/or links to download and listen to examples of our music and a way to contact each of us. Throw in a general inquires contact, a mission statement for the collective, and maybe even some standard rates. Then we just promote the fuck out of it and we're good to go, eh?

LET'S DO THIS!

yeah i'll be up for joining! always wanted to get into computer game music - i did a couple of tracks for a game company that needed last-minute e3 trailer music a few years ago. never saw any money or free games though, heh.

and since i'm getting right into making super ridiculous space-kraut electro recently i think it's a good idea to start looking at game soundtracks again, just as long as more deep space exploration games come out, haha!

so count me in, basically!

unfortunately though i don't have a lot to contribute besides music

I'm down with the idea so far.

Also down with the idea.

Alright I'll throw in and be down with this.

Sure, I'm down.

I can do sound design as well as music, by the way.

Sounds like a corker! Let me know if there's room for one more!

Excellent. So does anyone else want to go to town on the website end of it or do I need to sit down and hammer it out myself?

yes!

Is that a yes to the website question? If so, AWESOME. If not, still pretty cool.

i have zero web skills

sorry

does this mean everything has to be a chip tune?

You make whatever music you think would be cool behind a video game.

Oh hey, an important little piece of information should be decided upon before anything starts getting put together for this.

What are we going to call it?

analog arcade implies that all the music is analog, which I doubt would be the case, especially since I'm involved and use hardly any analog gear.

who cares

its catchy

Hah yeah, I have 0 analogue gear... but it is catchy.

I can make websites.

but you'll have to let me in first.

I'd love to do this, but I have a feeling y'all think I'm shit.

I actually quite dig The Two Year Dusk, man. Haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but the first few minutes are nice.

Pretty sure that you'd be in then, man! This is kinda a collective/ cooperative thing as far as I understand it, at least at this stage.

Affirmative.

sweet. Is everyone on google docs? I could put together a requirements list thingy that everyone can edit. Post your gmail here and I'll invite you.

Would probably build it off WP unless anyone has any other recommendations.

This sounds great. I would also recommend a spreadsheet for data to be shown on the site for each person. I'll get on that.

I'm thewahrk at gmail.com.

Edit: Or was a list of everyone's info what you meant you wanted to make?

As a starting point:

• name (preferably your real one, but a pen name works)
  
• moniker (optional)
  
• picture (clients like to know you're human)
  
• about (a small paragraph or so)
  
• demo reel (~10 minutes)
  
• link(s) to more listening, etc.
  
• contact email
