I'm very very punctual and open when it comes to composing and love to get stuck into every aspect of the game (i'm a (very) amateur programmer myself).

My rates are very indie-friendly.

(p.s. if you're making a game that is even 1% like animal crossing, plz say hi!)

[NotionGames]

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.'

[Allansona]

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. 

[Calum Bowen]

thanks to both of you guys!

[Miguelito]

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*

[Calum Bowen]

Thank you Miguelito! Those are the equipment I dream of!

Enjoy! Feedback would be amazing.

[Klaim]

Wow, very nice works!

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

[Calum Bowen]

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.

[Calum Bowen]

  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.

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

[Manuel Magalhães]

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.

[Calum Bowen]

Thanks Manuel!
