Hello! Interested in free music to use in your shareware games?

I'm Vanethian, one of the best mp3.com artists.

We could arrange a deal and i'll let you include my
music in your games if you advertise my website.

not ask you any fee to use my music. All i ask is that
you advertise my webpage and we can discuss about the
way to advertise the site.

______________________________________

Born in Palermo (Italy), 11 March 1975, Manuel "Vanethian" Marino
learned musical basic concepts by himself, and, only in a second
time, he studied solfeggio, finger picking technique and jazz
lessons with a teacher. Even if he loved playing guitar, every
time he tried to put all his time on it, he changed his mind.
His computer passion bring him to prefer midi sequencing musical
composition to guitar live! exhibitions, so at the end he left
his guitar studies and decided to merge himself with the world
of computer music.

Manuel "Vanethian" Marino is a one man band. He plays guitars,
synthesizers and keyboards. He composes his music, and he is a
sound processing expert. Practically, he does everything!
With his acoustic and digital instruments he composed several
songs which go through different musical styles, from classical
to techno, creating an astounding mix of styles (which is the
typical trait of his music).

[Max Sterling]

[heretic]

np man just he posted it in 3 forums and it kinda comes across as it  

[Vanethian]

Hello!!!! yes... sorry.. i posted in three NG...  

Well my music is free... i just want to be advertised... in the game credits or something similar, and also in the game webpage with a link to my Homepage.

Audio quality of recording studio is really high and very PRO, so i'm sure you'll find really interesting that i can provide you with professional music productions while i don't want to be paid!   hehehehe

Any questions?


------------------

Yep. If I provide you an old crappy midi from an old game (descent), is it possible that you make a good quality music from it, or you just provide the ones on your site and no new one?

[Vanethian]

I can provide you with professional studio quality wave/mp3 files.

But... do we have license to use descent midis?

[Nico]

Well, the source code for the 2 first episodes have been released... anyway, if you just use it make a new one, I think it's legal, no? many musicians use this trick, they call it sampling if I'm right... Anyway I suppose if you just listen to the midi and make your own version, it's legal, no? I get the macintoch version of Descent1 coz they are better quality waves, but I must say that I've been disapointed... have someone ever listened to the music tracks of the descent2 CD? Believe me that worth it  

[Vanethian]

Ok.. well.. i think if you give me the midis (my email is [email protected]) i could make some little modifies in the melodies, so we don't have to worry about licences and so on...

Really? that would be damn cool then  
how much time do you need to make one music? a month, something like that?

Uhmmm.. depends...

Eiffel65 usually compose their music in few days and then they spend ONE MONTH in mixing and final production...  

...But i spend more time in composing and less in mixing... depends on the genre, on the inspiration, on the arrangment complexity and so on...

..give me the .midi files and i'll begin working on them... with the midi files my work is easier cause i don't have to "create from scratch"...

...let's see what i can do  

In the meantime, listen to my actual production and see if there's something you like.

Yeap, I like many of them, but they are, eheh, too peacefull  
Doesn't fit too much with space combat, but I'm now sure you can do cool things with the midis  
Is it possible to have some kind of "heavy metal" feeling? more like in the spirit of Descent1 and 2, the 3 was more techno, and I prefer electric guitars  

-edit: oh, btw, I sent you the file, 22kb, not too big lol

[Vanethian]

Yes... i'm a guitarist too! i'll plug my guitars and you'll listen to the best HEAVY DISTORTED GUITARS around!!!  

you'll be astonished... now i understand exactly what you want.. and you'll have it!  

[Nico]

Cool   Hopefully you'll like doing this music and will agree doing more  
FS2 reads musics in .wav format, by the way  

[Nico]

Btw, here taht's not shareware games, but modifications from existing games  . But you know, by doing mods, some people finally poped up games like Gunman and (soon) Team Fortress

Ok... i've done the job... you can find what i've done at:
 http://space.tin.it/lettura/dqkim/Descent.mp3

You can decompress the file in .wav format easily... just use one of the many decoders.

Consider that the work is not PERFECT! Usually before i post a song i make about 10 different arrangements and i listen to them 100 times, making changes to mix and effects. Then i choose the best.

In this case, i've been very fast and the piece was really short, only 1 minute. Also, the piece structure is really easy, only a two chords structure with a modulation in the second part of the song.

I perform jazz pieces using piano and guitar, so this Descent piece seemed very easy to understand and arrange, for me.

19 and 25 June i've got GIGs... so probably i'll have more time to dedicate to your project after these events.

Consider this mp3 file just an example of what i can do. I'm not only one of the best jazz pianist around, but i'm also the owner of a great recording studio worth 50000 dollars!

With me you can have HIGH QUALITY and PROFESSIONAL productions... all FREE!!! just advertise my website and we've got a deal!

In the future we can discuss better about HOW to advertise http://www.vanethian.com  but i can say since now that i want:

- My url posted on your webpage

- In the game manual

- In the game credits

- In that closing screen that everyone
sees each time they exit the game.

If you agree... we've got a deal!

hem, to the other peoples... Is there that kind of screen in FS2? I don't think so  
About the game manual, it will be a very little doc file I guess... I'm not a professional, just a moder  
For the site, np, i'll tell Thunder to add your name on the bottom of the main page (if I take the music of course)
in the game credits np , there's that in fs2, check this link to see what I mean:
 http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/Forum13/HTML/000382.html

I'm d/ling the file right now anyway.

I hope that's ok?

[Nico]

!!! Damn you're l33t!!! I just love it dude! I hope we'll have a deal!
btw, why did you cut the 30 last seconds? that's 1/3 of the music

[Vanethian]

Well... consider that i could have done it much much better... but this means i gotta spend days and hours studying the structure and trying to make the best arrangement possible...

...i worked only on the midi... while i could just use the midi as inspiration and then build the piece from scratch. This would bring to a far better soundscape...

This evening (italian time) i've got time... so i can provide you with more examples of what i can do with my recording studio... consider these works as examples.... and not as the FINAL WORK.

I'll provide you with a simple space soundscape... wait for my next message.
