    Hi,

    I recently finished working on a soundtrack for 2 mobile games by Starwind Games.

    I had great fun working on these projects, writing and recording music. I used orchestral libraries and hardware synths (Novation Supernova II, Waldorf Pulse+), as well as live acoustic violin and other instruments. Also in orchestral tracks I used Akai EWI (wind controller) to record brass parts (especially trumpet solos) for added reality.

    I would really appreciate if you could have a listen to these short compilations and let me know what you think.

    Hey Pav, nice work on the Battle Frogging game, the music suits each of the five locations perfectly. You make it look easy! The use of real instruments really takes things up a level, I was expecting electronic bit music, but the orchestration is nicely done with a bit of an ethnic twist.

    I have a bit of a soft spot for computer game music myself, I wouldn't have many favourite film scores but there's plenty of game scores I love. Have you done other game music? How did you get involved with Starwind Games?

    There's definitely an expanding market there for mobile game composers.

    Hi Niall,

    Thanks for your kind words. I do believe adding live acoustic instruments to sample based tracks makes the difference and I always try to emphasize that aspect of my music.

    I don't have any other released titles at the moment. A bit of my music features in a film "We'll always have Dingle" by Geoff Wonfor, but don't think the film is going to be in the distribution in Ireland. Have a look at my soundcloud profile though: soundcloud.com/pavthefiddler, there are few tracks there that you might like, there's a variety of stuff there as I'm involved in few different projects.

    Also if you like game music you might like this as well, it's a track I wrote for a steampunk show: http://youtu.be/lFLyJmLKNcg

    As you say there is a market for mobile game composers, there is a huge competition though, especially that anyone can make "music" of some sort using software. I got those two projects only because I spent many hours sending emails and contacting game studios.

    Regards,

    Pav
