Very Strange Mini Boom

That's a tulip load better than mine Stek, seriously.

If he's got a few pieces, you can look at people like Getty Images Music (Pump Audio) and some others (I'll try and get you a list) who will do non exclusive licencing which may make him a few $$, but this is not a normal thing for me to be doing, so I'm not an expert by any means.

Tell him to stick in and you can never encourage enough

Edit - I could see the 'main' part, the all instruments blazing bit, being used in a sports car advert or a clip on top gear where they're racing a supercar across a mountain pass or something. I like it !

Thanks TM, great info - appreciate any pointers you can give!

Fantastic!

That's dead good TM, I'm pushing my Lad to do this, he can work Apple Logic! He's a Uni doing Music Theory and Production, hope I can direct him to do something like you've done, a more realistic way of earning money in music than become a 'Rock Star'.

Gonna try and embed one of his which I think might be good film music for like a scene with loads of action...

Won't embed, grrrr.....

No one ever masters it. Least of all me

Expect they get beyond a very crappy 12 bar blues.

It was on Soundcloud and Looperman. The initial contact came from the Soundcloud clip.

TBH I thought it was all an elaborate gag by someone until the paperwork and the money turned up.

In fact, it is still possible that it may turn up on a Lithuanian music production instructional DVD along with words like, "if you are starting in music production, do not ever produce anything like this" but at this point they can advertise anal lube for pensioners with it and I wouldn't care :-)

Some musicians claim they want fame, fortune and recognition. But when it really comes down to it, what they really want the most, is to be paid.

Watch out Paul McCartney. Here comes TestMangler with a 30 second clip only a Lithuanian will buy.

How did you 'get it out there'? Soundcloud type thing?

Good stuff. I have been trying to master the guitar for about 45 years. Will get there some day.

I've 'worked' as a semi pro musician (guitar/midi programming) for around 25 years on and off and regularly play pub gigs on my own and in a band but have never 'created' anything other than doing some commercial music programming of backing tracks (covers) for singers.

Have been rebuilding/upgrading my own little home studio for a few months and sort of came up to date a bit with a lot of virtual synth tulip that I'd never used before.

Anyway, long story short, I've sold a short 2min 30 sec techno/EDM track to some Lithuanian film maker character on an excusive buy out deal (Cliphead, have I f***ed up here ??) and got paid yesterday, the princely sum of 2250 euros.

It was a piece of throwaway messing about that I did when I was learning some new software so more than chuffed at the outcome and I can tick 'create and sell some music' off the list.
