FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What musical services do you offer?

I offer a variety of services for game audio including, but not limited to Composition, Music Implementation, Arranging / Orchestration and General Music Consultation.

I also offer Remote Recording services for projects on any of the instruments I have at my disposal. I can perform parts for you written in sheet music, or perform parts that were originally written for synths in MIDI. I'm also happy to work with you to orchestrate your MIDI-based music for an ensemble of real instruments if you aren't exactly sure what instruments you might need or want.

Please send me a message through my contact form if you're interested in working together!

Which instruments can you record?

However, I own and play quite a few other instruments, and would be happy to record them for your project if my sound on the instrument is a good fit!

Can I use or perform your covers in my video / stream / creation?

Since my covers are all arrangements of other composers' copyrighted material, my covers are not 100% safe to use in your creation, and I can’t legally give you permission to use them. While I personally have no issue with you using the music, since I am not the sole copyright holder of any my cover songs, you may be subject to DMCA takedowns by the original rightsholders of the original compositions. None of my work is currently in Content ID or any similar automated system.

In practice, the likelihood of you encountering any legal issues using any of my cover songs is extremely low, as many individuals have used my songs in their videos / streams / creations with no problems. However, in the interest of legally protecting myself and others, I think it's right to communicate the complete, yet complex, legal circumstances that currently govern the usage of this material. If you choose to use my covers, you choose to do so at your own risk.

If you would like to use any of my original compositions that are self-published on my YouTube channel (not including any compositions that were composed for third parties), you may do so in any non-commercial capacity.

Do you teach private lessons?

I do not teach private lessons at this time.

Is sheet music available for your arrangements?

Yes, please check the description for the specific video you're interested in for a link to free PDF sheet music. If there is no sheet music link, there is no sheet music for that video. This free sheet music is distributed solely for educational performances.

Is sheet music available for your original compositions?

Yes, sheet music of my original compositions is available for purchase on my website! If you're interested in sheet music of one of my original compositions, and it's not available via the above link, please let me know via my contact form!
