Hi everyone

im a composer looking to collaborate with film makers, or game makers if there are any about here. i have recently been asked to score a short WW2 movie and i have composed a music for a student made documentary about knife culture, i can compose in many styles although most of my work so far has been for orchestra. im a guitarist/pianist and singer and i am able to compose quickly to meet deadlines. A small sample of my work can be heard at www.myspace.com/DaveHealey1.

That link should take you sraight to my myspace page and the music will play automatically.
My studio setup consists of a custom built dual core computer with loads of RAM and a SATA hard disk and lots of other fancy stuff, i have a behringer XENYX1204 Mixer and a behringer BCF2000 control surface i also have an emu 0404 soundcard, however these bits of equpiment are soon going to be replaced by a yamaha01X , i also have an Yamaha NP-30 digital piano which is set up as the master control keyboard. I have dual 19" screens, as well as my emu 0404 soundcard i also have a soundblaster live 5.1 and creative surround sound speakers and subwoofer, i also have behringer MS20 monitor speakers. i only have a couple of pieces of rack equipment because most of the work i do is MIDI based and most of the recordings i do are at another studio, but in the rack i have a Roland GR-50 guitar synth this along with my GK3 pickup allows me to record guitar as MIDI. i also use a Zoom RFX -1000 rack mounted reverb unit. im also the proud owner of a Roland VG-8 Guitar acoustic modeler which allows me to simulate almost any guitar/Mic/Amp setup imaginable . Wow this is a long post lol

I use Sibelius to write most of my music and i export the midi files from this to nuendo where i add samples, i sometimes use sonar 6 depending on the project. i also have Reason 3 but i rarerly use this now adays unless im looking for a special effect type sound. I have a couple of sample libraries includeing Proteus X/X Producer/Studio Grand/Beat shop one. i also use garritan personal orchestra, and Jazz and big band library, i also have various free VST instrument plugins and bits and bobs that iv'e gathered from friends or magazines.

My computer is running XP(it could run vista but my software and hardware doesnt really like it) most of the intruments i use are virtual but i really sing lol and i do record some guitar parts, i also play a bit of sax and violin and i can record these as well, i use a leem DM-302 microphone for my vocal recordings and various cheap mic's for instruments. my preamps are built into the mixer but i also have a couple of effects pedals that can be used as preamps.

I hope this answers your questions lol
