Hey Mike,
my congratulations on this huge success. It is YOUR great way to welcome and to have an open ear for everyone! It is a great gift to call a forum âprofessionalâ and to help in particular beginners and amateurs, this is YOUR success.
Thank you so much, keep it up!
and as alexey @jlx_music would say,
never stop beeing amazing
when does the party start? maybe i can be there in about 4 hours?
Thank you Michael, I had a dream to create this dedicated, organized, friendly, and above all âprofessionalâ (mainly in the way we treat each other) online community for composers. But I had no idea it would grow this much, and to have so many amazing discussions and sharing of ideas.
I humbly thank you for your kind words, but the greatness of this community is the credit of you all, everyone of you that choose to connect in here together, and be part of the composer family.
PS. Haha, party mode is on. Iâm having Pepsi Max. Yes, Iâm on a diet lol.
I am glad to be part of something really big! I believe itâs only the very beginning, and this community will grow every single day, faster & stronger!
Keep being amazing! I think we all can be very proud!
Congratulations Mike. IÂŽm for one is not surprised.
What I think stands out is your interface is clear, easy to navigate compared to many other sites, good logotype.
Much like when you compare DAWS some are just intuitive for you.
The videos are pedagogic but still in depth.
Your information is easy to find, it pops up effective on Google and Youtube.
The tone in this community really is friendly.
Your courses are great, you have a good teaching technique.
I saw earlier that you adviced narrowing down the profile to get more subscriber on Youtube for instance. Thats a good advice I think. Clarity is good.
Thank you Fredrik, and yes I am a fan of clarity, focus, good structure overall. I think we need more of this clean, natural clarity in life overall to be honest.
Thank you Stephan, itâs great that you found this a nice place to âhangoutâ with fellow composers!
I learned the hard way from running 3 different Facebook groups what is important for a nice atmosphere, and mistakes to avoid. I think, as with all things in life, setting good examples is incredibly important. Not only myself as the admin/leader of this community btw, but even more importantly, all of you!
A culture is created by the people, and when the culture has developedâŠit sets an example for every new member. That is the lesson I learned, and the reason why we have this amazing atmosphere in here I believe.
Hi. Thatâs the reason I have not been around. Last month was REALLY busy. One insanely successful very short quarantine horror film called, â19â. I scored the film and also did the Sound Design. We got press coverage, a television feature, reaction videos, an interview from FilmTT (Government arm of film production in Trinidad & Tobago) and published favorable reviews. Iâll put the link to them below.
I also completed the score for the short film: âImmuneâ.
April was also the month where the microseries I scored for âSue - A Soucouyant Love Storyâ started airing. Two out of the four parts have aired so far. "Sukinia Hillâ premiered on Youtube. I did the Sound Design for that - link below. And last but not least I worked on the Music and Sound Design for an AR app called âUnbreakableâ
This month (May) has been all about entering scoring competitions. I composed and submitted to the Orchestral Tools âOutsideâ Competition, the Ibrido Cinematica competition (see link below) and the UJAM - 80âs Music Competition. I am now working on the big one - the Spitfire Audio / HBO / Westworld competition. I assume every film composer is aiming their guns on that one. I may be able to squeeze out one more competition before the month ends.
All told I am VERY grateful for these past two months.
Wow, that is so amazing to hear, that even in these crazy times you have been busy with productive work and seen some major success. Congratulations my friend, well done!
