The MSPAFA/Collab/RP/Game Music Request Thread!

[orngjce223]

You yoink the starter image from Self-Insert Adventures to give people a highly misleading idea of what this is supposed to be.

----

Okay. I know there's a thread in here for avatar requests, so why not a matching thread for music requests?

This is so that we don't have to use existing music for animations or movie sequences. Original music is always awesome and comes with fewer problems with having it taken down!

Guidelines for requests:

To prevent misuse of this thread (and to maintain the composers' sanity), this is not the thread to ask for a theme for a fancharacter or fantroll. This thread is reserved for MSPAFAs, collabs, roleplays, or games that require music for specific sequences and/or animations, so that we don't have to use existing music.

Request songs of any size, of most genres (although be aware that if you specify a genre that nobody here specializes in, you'll be getting a much slower response). For best results, provide some sort of context - say, link to your MSPAFA and give as much basic information as you can publicly, so that we know roughly what kind of scene we'll be providing music for.

Should certain details be required to stay private, please say so in your request, and then PM the musicians that offer with more details. Swearing them to secrecy is allowed, naturally.

Copyright to the songs in question remains with the musicians. Should you wish to sell them, or do other such commercial ventures, please consult with the musician before use. However, you get a non-revocable* license to use any requested song in anything noncommercial. Just don't be a dick with it, 'k? The music people get to share the spoils. If there are any. Which there probably won't be.

Needless to say, please credit the musicians when you use the music. This should be obvious, but it probably isn't.

If you're going to have a long-term music project (say, an MSPAFA that requires several consecutive remixes) feel free to ask about that, too - although musicians might have more and different requirements for working on long-term projects.

For Musicians:

If you find a request that you like, quote it and reply to say you'll be working on it. When it's complete, post a snippet in this thread and send the full version, privately, to the person who asked for it (I'd recommend using email or PM for that purpose). Just to keep from spoiling the surprise for everyone.

Unless whoever's asking wants you to post the entire thing, in which case, sure why not.

You retain the copyright of all songs that you submit. However, this is a non-revocable* right for the other person to use your song in any noncommercial work that he or she may wish. I ask the requestors to contact you before using your music commercially, but ultimately you'll probably want to keep track of your music yourself. It's also a very good idea to notify who you originally made the song for if you ever send it somewhere else, too. Just common courtesy.

If you're willing to sift through this thread regularly to make music from it, just PM me with a writeup and I'll add you to the list.

* Non-revocable means no, a musician cannot demand that a requestor take down any music that has been composed and submitted for this purpose. The musician can still ask, of course. I think you guys know why I have to explicitly note this.

[Nucleose]

I'll put myself down as a guy who if he passes by here and sees something cool that he likes and isn't swamped with other music projects or thinks he has free time, will totally do something cool.

Uhh, I guess I'll post a description, but I'm horrible at describing myself.

"Nucleose composes all kinds of themes, and it's likely he'll make intricate percussion parts and/or will vary the song's mood within it, or really what ever he needs to do to fulfill the request. Preference: More specific requests that give insight into meaning and feelings of story."

Uhh, I'm probably going to hope that I find a better way to describe myself in the future.

[Wheeeeeeatthins]

"Wheeeeeeatthins typically does not make music based on requests because he is a lazy sod. If you request something and he has something made in his collection of music that fits what you are looking for, he may just send you a PM (such was the case with You Have to Explode the Sun--he had already made a song called "The Sun Explodes" and sent the song to OldManRupee in a PM)"

[SleepingOrange]

May I be the inaugural request? I really liked the opening theme the ever-talented Wheeeeeetthins did for my adventure Welcome to the Universe and this thread sort of gave me the idea (and opportunity) to include mood music sporadically. If anyone feels up to it, I'd like a piece to go with this post/area. The piece should be slowish and probably not loud; it should evoke an alien feeling and preferably be slightly unsettling without being unpleasant to listen to. I'd really like this to be a recurring project, with maybe a new song for every setting or important event, but there's no need for commitment; I'm happy with anything or even nothing.

[Hellis]

As I plan to rejuvinate Radio Outcast With a huge Update: I was wondering if i could ask for a rather lowkey, bad guy, moody piece. I plan on introducing something of danger element.

[thetoastking]

i was kind of planning on putting some music to OMNICLOPIA for it's finale' against the creator.
could someone make me something epic, like the 300 theme, except with a more heaven/hell theme to it?

[orngjce223]

Okay, those of you who've signed up I've dropped you into the OP!

If you don't mind something like Endless Fight, I think I'd be able to do that, with vocals duelling against the strings... I'll think on that and PM you with samples.

This isn't a serious request since I haven't touched my adventure, You Cannot Use the Letter E, in a long time () Also my adventure doesn't need music so this is a goofy request!
Could someone make a song without using the note E?
Imaginary battle against pirates could be the mood/inspiration. Either that or Problem Sleuth style.

That's quite easy - all you have to do is write a song in E flat.

sounds good, maybe just a bit of bass in there if at all possible.

Because this was a fun request here you go

E flat still has the letter E in it!
So to get around both of those, I made it in F sharp harmonic minor

edit: now the same song, circumlocution style

Ah, true. I see what you mean.

[Avi]

Haha Wheatthins thanks for making me grin!

[Yourself]

Hello! If you are willing to send me any music that would work well in a battle, whether it be whimsical or epic, please send it to me through PM. I might be able to use it for a possible upcoming flash update!

[Traikan]

Hello MSPAFA folks! I figured I'd drop by "in person" so to speak, so I'm more than just a name on a list with some words after it.

I'm looking forward to collaborating with as many of you as possible.

Speaking of such things...

PM sent!

So uh... I realize that I should post when I start working on something, rather than when I finish it...

But I have sent you a PM.

[SleepingOrange]

Wheeeeeeatthins has sent me a lovely piece of his that fills my request nicely. Hope to request again here before too long!

[Hellis]

Traikan sent me an aweosme piece that fit perfectly with what i had in mind.

[thetoastking]

ah orange just sent me quite the kickin' rad tune.
i love it.

[orngjce223]

If you wanted a .mp3 or .ogg or .flac or whatever I could get that to you instead. If you'd prefer that, of course.

[Lieutenant Fish]

Hello.
I'd like to talk business.
Are we still talkin' business in this thread?

[orngjce223]

Yep, definitely.

[Lieutenant Fish]

I have this idea for a flash update to an RP I am part of, in the style of this page, and a piece of music that parallels it would be very nice. Radiation's "Crustacean" variation is a good example.

Here's an old picture of the kernelsprite in question. I plan to make a new image for the actual piece, but the design will remain the same.

I have no way of knowing if this is enough information to begin the proces, so please ask any pertinent questions.

Thank you.

[orngjce223]

So. Uh. A Kernelsprite with a what pasted on top? Out of curiosity.

I can do the style, I just need to know what the hell that... thing... is.

[Lieutenant Fish]

In the game, I prototype the sprite with half of a '57 Chevy and my preserved piranha. The name we've come to use is Chevanha.
