Hello,
I am looking to do music for a few NES games. Please leave a reply if you're interested. I can compose music of pretty much any genre. I am not expecting to get paid (so my work is free). I have a website where you can listen to three samples of my work if you're interested.
Thanks!
I'm interested.
The "www" below your post links to what appears to be your YouTube channel, and it wasn't immediately obvious which videos in that channel were of your music.
No, that is my account for videos. I have a different site for my music.

And that would be...?
Well, the website uses my real name and I don't really want to give it to someone unless they're considering letting me do music for their game.
Then go throw up a ZIP file containing some NSF files on a site like Mediafire, on the
Famitracker message board, or even (gasp)
Wakachan (Demoscene/Tracked).

Ah well, thats a shame. :/
I am not yet to the point with my game project were I need music, but I will definitely need a composer. Stick around for a while
We can find your real name by googling your user name (Doommaster1994), and looking for results that state that you live in the same location as your profile here says you live. (Washington). It's true the results I found could be someone else, but you've stated enough here to make me know at least some of them are you.
If you want to hide that sort of information online, it's best not to post it at all. Barring that, it's wise to use different usernames for everything online. Or remove what you've already posted from the web altogether, because as it stands it's NOT hard to find at all. If that's your concern, you haven't taken very many precautions against it.
People will be much more likely to take advantage of your offer if they know what sort of music you can do, so if I were you I would just remove my real name from the website and post here.
edit: Found the music. I won't be mean and post it since you don't want it posted, but please do think about keeping the information you don't want someone to find offline. Most of the music would probably work with an RPG. My favorite is the song with profanity in its title. (Which would probably not work for an RPG.) I am not interested at the moment as I totally lack a music engine in my game.

That's weird, I didn't; though I did find his real name. But I didn't look too hard.
BTW, I am Josh 'CartLemmy' Merritt.

Your name is Nick Kalata.
Took me all of 5 minutes to find. If I can do it anyone can do it.
Just to be clear... I respect your desire for anonymity, and I don't think anyone means to be mean. We are just pointing out how easy it is too Google your way into this sort of information.
Oh, and I like your music, BTW.
Me too. If it weren't for the fact that this site:
http://www.linkedin.com/pub/nick-kalata/14/929/376
was easily found via google i wouldn't have posted your name.
OK. I don't mind if they know my name but just not where I live exactly.
Edit: Eh. I'm done with this topic. Just post a link to samples for those interested, please.
I don't get this at all.
You publish your name and stuff for J. Random Stranger who stumbles across your site to see, but you want to keep it secret from the nesdev community.
Do you believe the members of the nesdev community are more likely to be dangerous sexual predators wishing to break into your home and wake you up in the middle of the night by licking your toes than J. Random Stranger surfing the web?
If you know something about this community I don't, you better start warning the rest of us.
FWIW, I tend to agree with the above sentiment.
Don't worry so much about people looking for your name or where you live. Dedicated weirdos will absolutely go to great extremes to find out who you are; it doesn't matter how much anonymity you put in front of yourself, they *will* find out who you are. In fact, with how the Internet is today, the more paranoid you are the more likely you are to be a target of someone's boredom. Try not to get too hung up on it.
It's pretty unlikely anyone will pick you as a musician if they can't (on their own time) review some of your work. If you're simply embarrassed, that's understandable. I can't speak for the other moderators, but I won't tolerate idiotic "lol ur muzik sucks d00d" nonsense. But do expect people to critique your work; the same applies to anything. Learning/improving is part of human life!
For example: I can't compose music worth a damn, yet I made the mistake (under peer pressure) of putting the one .S3M file I made back in 1993 up on Usenet, where it's now archived. I cringed listening to it back then, and I still cringe. There's only one part to it which I think is even remotely decent, and it's at the end. It pretty much taught me that music is something I enjoy listening to/appreciating rather than composing. :-) I'd be pretty impressed if someone dug it up (I know a couple sites that have it, but it's pretty difficult to find unless you know exactly what to look for), but I sure as heck won't be giving out the URL, haha.
How about we respect his wishes and not try to freak him out. Yesh...

Given that it was on LinkedIn, I assume it might have something to do with not wanting to tip off employers to the fact that one is involved with NESdev. Some employers have an "all your IP are belong to us" policy. Others might look down on the community's use of CIClone and more generally unauthorized development for a nominally closed platform, and possibly fire people who get involved in such a community.
"That's not the kind of company you'd want to work for."
When it's either take what you can get or flip burgers in this job recession,* sometimes feeding a family has priority.
* On paper, there's a recovery, but U.S. employment hasn't fully recovered. Much of the economic recovery is due to a combination of efficiency and outsourcing to countries with undervalued currencies.
Very good points Tepples. I wouldn't want my employer to know how many times I post on this forum during the work day
qbradq: I post from work, and my boss knows it, but I use breaks wisely, and my boss accepts that people have
hobbies.
Doom94: I might be able to give you rights to post samples in .ogg format on wiki.nesdev.com. PM me for details if you're interested.

They blocked NESDEV in the place I used to work (I used to post a lot from there), classifying it as a gaming site. At my new work people can do pretty much anything (there's no such thing as NSFW), as long as they complete the work that is assigned to them.
Wow,wow,wow!
Just in time!
DRD will be released ine next month, and I can't find anyone to help me with music.
I'm really interested in your offer.
Here's some details:
Can use VRC6 extra audio channels.
For now I need songs:
Winter themed song, spooky theme(for scary forest stage),Beach theme song(happy and casual song).
We can disscus details via Private messages or here will be fine?
Wow, VRC6 eh? I don't suppose you'll be releasing this on a cart, or do you have a plan for that?
No,game won't be released on cart.
DRD can fit in UNROM, it's not a big game.
But one cool guy(Banshaku) helped me with making Famitracker driver into NESASM code.And it supports VRC6.I like idea of extra audio.Besides...VRC6 have SRAM while UNROM not.
@Doommaster1994
So,what do you think about helping me out?:)
