I'm a musician and I consider myself extremely versatile. I write, record, and mix all my own stuff and I have experience with rock, metal, pop, blues, jazz, country, hip-hop, techno, industrial, electronica, minimal, ambient, easy listening, classical, and a plethera of cross-genre breeds.
When I was 17 I started composing using MIDI and received a ton of good feedback from other artists online. I can still remember a quote that "this person will someday either be a celebrated and beloved film music composer, or it will be a great tragedy"
Well I got out of the soundtrack zone and for about the last 10 years worked on practicing and recording "real" instruments (as opposed to MIDI), as well as performing in some touring rock bands.
I am now disillusioned with the whole touring band concept and have decided to get back into the film/tv/video game soundtrack arena.
I am willing to do what it takes to get exposure - working for only credit, writing original scores for low budget films, allowing the filmmakers to have as much say (or as little) as they want to have in the soundtrack's development...
SO MY QUESTION IS: What's the most effective way to go about getting interest from indie filmmakers, and what should my main points be in presenting myself?
So far I have only posted on this forum and checked ou versusmedia.com I also reached out to some undergraduate counselors at film schools and asked them if they would post an attached flyer on their bulletin boards. No luck yet with that avenue.
Ultimately my goal is licensing my music, but I want to gain this experience and industry savvy'ness first before I try to build those relationships.
