Work-related FAW

I'm making a game/film/thing and need music...
Awesome! Please contact me to send me details about you project and we'll take it from there!

​How long does it take you to produce a full-length OST?
It really depends. I've written stuff over 3 months and I've written stuff over 3 years. About 1 year is a good time to have set aside for your project's music needs.

​And how much will it cost me?
I can't answer that before I know a thing or two about the project. Send me some info and I'll give you an estimate.

I'm making a game/film/thing and I need music but I don't have any money...
Neither have I.
​
But we can share profit...
I'm happy to share some of your profits, I just won't write your music for free.

What if I paid you in goods and services?
Sure. I'll take a serving of good money on delivery.
