Introduce Yourself : Composer here! by Chris Joye

Chris Joye

Composer here!

Greetings, everyone!

I've been a lurker here for many years and I want to see how I can help you in the music department on your next project. 2021 was one of the worst income years in my career, due not just to pandemic problems in the industry (but that certainly put a damper on many, many things), however, I'm working hard to make new connections in 2022.

I would love to connect with you and hear what you do! Please write in the comments here what your specialty is :)

Matthew Wauchope

I’m a creative Story teller in almost all its forms but my specialty’s are film and novel (separate not as in adaptations).

My composing could use work. I can make simple loops and have put some together to create 3 minute songs and written lyrics for them but struggle with making a loop for a specific emotion or scene.

Pete Whiting

I'm a writer but film score nerd. I often have film score to Wargames on in background when I write. I totally respect and dig the work composers do to make awesome scores we all love.

Matthew Wauchope Sometimes 3 minutes is all you need! But I understand, it's a constant struggle to finish something or make a complete statement, but the best way is to keep plugging away at it until you're happy. Sometimes, it can take a long time... I've had an album in the works since pre-covid and I keep getting stuck on it, but I shall prevail!

Matthew Wauchope

I’ve been writing a 31 track album since pre-Covid myself, however I’m cheating a little as they are all Parodies.

I only have a small collection of completely original songs and again I’m not great at conveying emotion and feeling with just the music.

Matthew Wauchope You got it, keep working on them! :) If it can move you, I suspect it can move others (actually, even if it doesn't move you, I've found it moves others, haha).

Matthew Wauchope

I have PTSD but the biggest side affect of mine is a lack of emotion. I can act whatever emotion you need but to actually have anything evoke it in me or move me is near impossible. On the whole however I think your right.

When I’m writing my novels I figure if I’m enjoying the story others will too. Just have to make sure it’s the product and not the process that makes you enjoy it because the audience doesn’t get to enjoy the process with you.
