I've recently completed a 3min film score project for a big competition. The video content is odd but the music rocks influences of Office Space, Lost, and 24. Worth checking out.

Working With Others
- How I Work:
I just love to make awesome music. I don't care what style it is.
I have extensive knowledge in the latest versions of Pro Tools (HD/LE), Logic, Live, and nearly every professional-grade DAW.
As for Indaba Sessions, I would rather work with song stems in my own interface, so if you want to send me bounced WAV files then I'd be more than happy to listen.
- Experience:
Currently I am attending the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA to study music production, composition, psychology and film scoring.
Production: Started in the Spring of 2000 and have written/produced over 100 tracks to date. In high school a friend and I won 2nd place in a composition contest held by the McLean Symphony Orchestra. Since Fall 2007 I've co-taught a recording & production class at the Berklee College of Music (and am the first currently-enrolled student to do so, as far as I'm aware).
Live Performance: picked up drums in 1997 and have been studying consistently ever since, winning many awards for various performances both in the orchestral and drum set style. I picked up keys at about the same time and started deeply indulging mid-2004. As a DJ my experience includes four months on Berklee Internet Radio Network (The BiRN) and countless other DJ performances at parties.
more to come when the time is right....

i actually don't like and don't use any of what you suggested, try mixing in a little bit of vinyl crackle from a record. and just eq your stuff, your mixes sound a bit reverb saturated and not very clear. i think you rely too much on pads to drive your music rather then making a solid groove.records are quite easy to emulate without any specific tools.
yeah i know him, i sampled the main piano stuff from serge gainsbourg. thanks for the comment. i used various methods to do all the other stuff. the scratching is electronic, i controlled a wav editor in flstudio. the other stuff i made with one shot samples.its mainly the processing that makes it sound old and gritty. the vocal is from a folk duo called born heller but its not much like the original .
Thanks Nathan! We appreciate it. Let us know if you have comments or suggestions!
They should rename Berklee to the BT school of music production....i think your stuff "sounds" great, it's just a matter of picking something and banging the shit out of it until it's finished and then moving on to something more challenging. I never understood how anyone can manage the funding to just "move" to Boston and attend Berklee, but then again...you are living it...you are living my dream. I would only expect your music to rock hard. Keep it up...LOGIC rules! haha
