I am offering my services as a music composer for this community.

Well I want to showcase that I can be a good guy around here but let's face it:

* I can't map, code or create games for shit, even if my life depended on it. Believe me, I tried... I gave it up on it and it wasn't for me.
* I'm not that great(heck I'm not even good) of a priv scene player, in fact, despise what people have told me. I would always consider myself as the TTA of H[no offence, tta](But I do have my reasons, I keep getting banned before I could have any inking of skill to harness.)
* Also for every nice comment I made to a person, there's always three hate comments to another people. In fact, someone who I associate(not naming names because I wasn't sure if this person wanted to be quoted or not) with has once said that I'll never earn any form of power in this community and if I do for some weird reason, I would be the worst, even more so than Metal. (again, no offence)

So what is this grand service that I am offering... Well I am going to offer you my composing skills for your wads and stuff. Why? Simply because of these reasons:

*People have said that I should do soundtrack work with my music because it fits it so well for some reason.
*I was working on the track for Hydra's Gothyk and it was well received both inside and outside of the community.
*I want to continue to make music but I never got any motivation to do so because of a lack of fanbase and spread through the internet.
*Because I thought this was a good way to make something good of myself since I'm here.

So If you want someone to make original music, I'll be here. I'll write it in any way you want and so forth. I do have some common agreements you'll have to follow:
[spoiler]1. You will not get an "All Rights Restricted" copyrighted licence to my tracks; In fact, if you'll be given a creative commons licence instead. Why? You didn't make, you have no intention of my views after I given you my intellect property. Therefor, you'll only get the track in a certain way... Also the CC licence would be most likely this(Unless I have an intention to sell the track myself without your permission; if so, you'll get no actual rights but rather a permission to use it):
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/

In plain simple terms:
- You can't sell the product with my music in it(however this is not going to be the case for anyone, given how these things are posted, you're not asking people money to build your game, so I won't ask you for any money... but rather, this is just a way to protect my music from being stolen & selling it without my knowledge and permission)
- You have to mention that you are using my music. A simple name mentioning on the title picture would and released thread would work.
- You can't not alter, cut, remix, re-edit, edit, transform, build upon or "based off of" my music without my permission. Usually I'll give you the green light, if you let me hear it first before you release it. This is more for the music people.


2. I will not give you the original DAW & WAV(or any other non-compression) files, no matter what! Two reasons, it'll be a copyright nightmare if my DAW was to be released to the public. In fact, I've never met anyone in the music business that has done this. As for the WAV files... I do not like to bloat WADs with unnecessary audio files. There's no reason to have 100MB WAD for a small project. If this is a big and I mean big project, we can talk about ti and work out something. Side note: If you do not tell me what you need in terms of specs. you'll be given the default, which is MP3 128kbps Stereo.

3. No tempering with the music tags, period! No extra reason why I should state this. The music tags are there so people know who made the music, what the music title is and where to get it. You're allow to released it yourself externally. (IF IT'S A CC LICENSED COPY! - It will always be in the "Comment" section of the track.)

*Failure to meet the above would end up with a DMCA order to take down your project from being publicly mention on the forums until you have removed it or follow the common agreement.Seriously, I'm a nice guy, I don't do these things unless it's an extreme case where I have no choice but to slam a DMCA order to the admins when they, I and you have better things to do... Please be respectable and do your part of the deal, that's all I'm asking and it's not hard to follow.[/spoiler]

Wanna collab? I'm working on a lot of IDM/breakbeat-oriented stuff right now. I've mostly just got beats and bass rhythms so far, but I can send you what I have and you can fill the melodies in if you want.

Interesting, I might consider it... I'm always open for collaborations. Hit me with your soundcloud/bandcamp page and I'll let you know.

Back to the topic, I think this is a great opportunity for new(and current) mappers to use this, because there's not that many people who are trying to reach professional levels in the music business and yet work with people in a non-professional level. Yeah, there's a lot of few music people here but has any of them offer to make music for your WADs.
