Good morning or afternoon or evening all, depending on where you are. I'm Sam and I hope to frequent this forum for the foreseeable future in search of people who would like to give me money to make music for their games.
I don't want to turn this post into a resume (Before registering, I made sure there was a particular spot for that so as not to annoy anyone), but if I am to introduce myself, I mostly define myself by my music anyway (that's not as douchey as I intended, I just mean that the most interesting things about me tend to be to do with music). So here goes;
I am from Manchester, UK, and studied Classical Music at Leeds College of Music. Now, don't get worried that I'm a pompous, tasteless musician because of that; as well as a strong focus in composition (for which I won the composer of the year award for) I studied classical guitar, which means I have always had strong ties to pop and rock music, and have been in many bands and done many gigs. Hence, I am capable, and actively enjoy, producing music of almost any genre.
I am very interested in getting into writing for games, as I absolutely love gaming. It'll be a fusion of two of my biggest interests I look forward to working with people around here, and am also interested in feedback from other composers and game producers.
If you fancy hearing some of my music, head over to www.samuelknights.snack.ws. Its not as updated as it ought to be, but I think it gives a good general impression for now. The most relevant subsection of that will be "Soundtrack/Ambient"
