I don't need music right now, but I must say your music is great. Great talent.

vbCrLf.

[levani]

hey vbCrLf,

Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the music!

Hey there levani,

I am not at the stage of needing music yet either, but man your 2007 demo reel is very impressive, I am most certainly going to keep you in mind when the time comes for audio. Excellent job! 

[levani]

thanks rootsage! glad you enjoyed it, I actually updated the reel a couple of days ago, it's just an file I keep over-writing.

[levani]

Just updated the portfolio with a new project guys, I'd be happy to talk with you about any projects you are working on, I'm easily accessible through any of the contact options,

Hello friend,

I'm not a game developer and i'm not offering a job but having listened to your demo i've got a simple suggestion to make. You propably know more than me on this matter so in advance i'm sorry if i sound like i don't know what i'm talking about.

Your demo has beautiful sounds but it's mostly calm and ambient-like which reveals very little of what you can contribute to a project during it's action intensive moments. As a gamer i want to have "goosebumps" when i see the master level dragon or things get too hot in the game and that's when the music (YOU) kick in.

Your effects of "Tape start/stop" are nice but it would better for your portfolio to take a little time (if you have, i mean. We all suffer from the lack of it) and create 4 shorter demoreels from your existing work (you decide) that will give a preview of Calm-Ambient, Action-Intensive, Victory & Failure moments.

If you can also cover the Historic-Fantasy, Current-Modern Age and Future Sci-Fi Eras, you would provide your website visitors with a Complete view of how their unique game would benefit from your also unique talent.

Having your voice at the start is something that caught my ear so i believe it's also nice to explain what they would hear. It provides the required intimacy to get people thinking of calling you.

Best wishes ...

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it very much. It's quite likely that I will keep the 'general' demo reel, however, on the next update, I think it would be wise to do something like you have suggested. It would help me appeal to a much wider range of developers more effectively, thanks for the thoughts,

Regards,

[levani]

Took your suggestion and made 5 different reels. Hope this helps more ,

Regards,

[levani]

Just updated my portfolio with a couple of new projects, I added some music on there as well. Hopefully you will enjoy, send me and email if you have any questions at all

Regards,

Hello, just did an update on my website. Added some new demo material, and I split my music into two reels, hopefully getting you to the music you are seeking efficiently. I hope you enjoy the new demos, and if you have any questions, a quick email to levan at vel9studios.com will be promptly answered,

Reels:
The Light Fun Reel
The Orchestral Energy Reel

[micmanos]

The orchestral Energy Reel has some good samples. I can already hear them in some medieval-strategy game. Nice.

[levani]

Thanks, glad you liked them! a couple of those samples are exactly from a game in that genre ,

[Lenn]

You made music from samples taken from other games?
Probably not, but it sounded like that. Good job, btw.

[levani]

thanks! yeah it could have been read that way, I just meant that one of the games that I wrote for was in the fantasy-strategy genre,

[levani]

hey guys, recently updated the portfolio with a couple of new projects and added some new demo material to the reels. I also redesigned the website to hopefully allow for a quicker and more efficient way of getting to the music, hope you enjoy the changes and any questions can be emailed to levan at vel9studios.com,
