Calum is definitely a talented composer. He did some music for my game Up Up Ubi and now is doing the music for my next game, 'Super Ubi Land.'

I'm impressed by the wide range of different sounds you can make. Most composers can do any emotion, but you manage to sound like different people all together... it's quite impressive.  Gentleman

Your smooth chip Latin composition is to die for!

Makes me conjure a combat-free tropical island RPG in front of my eyes. Equipment slots: Trunk, sandals, sunglasses, hat.
Great work, seriously. *bookmark*

Wow, very nice works!

Did you do something "progressive" like Magma or Pink Floyd or some of Oceansize musics?

Thanks Klaim.

I think this is the closest I get to prog, I mean, I hope a lot of what I do is progressive in some sense of the word but the section at 1:13 just sounds a lot like pink floyd (mostly due to the chords I'm using)! Listening to it now again, it kind of reminds me of some cave story music.

Lips Sealed  I usually don't like writing really generic, standard music but so many devs have asked me to make super camp euro-dubstep for their catwalk fashion games that, in the end, i succumbed. Wink

ALSO, here's a montage of pieces from soundtrack I'm working on at the moment:

I'm currently developing my upcoming game with Bowen and I can recommend him if you are looking for a musician. His tracks are top-notch and it's a pleasure working with him.

Hoping to have the soundtrack to Manuel's game within the next week or two.
