MAVERICK GAMES INTRO
Hi Mike, Harinder, Tom, Matt, Gareth, Fraser, Ben, Elly, and team!
My name’s James, and I’m a composer based in Bath. I’m really excited to hear about the founding of Maverick Games, and I’d love to hear more about what you’re working on and what you’re excited about.
I’m sure you’ll be inundated with composers introducing themselves, so without any further ado, I’ll drop a few examples of work below so you can get a sense of who I am and what I’m good at. I’ll also include my contact info at the bottom of the page.
ORCHESTRAL
Last year I wrote some concept music for a new space MMO. The ~3min main title I wrote is below and showcases some of my orchestral, thematic writing. References were Star Trek and Star Wars (they wanted it to feel exciting and adventurous, rather than brooding and dystopian). I love writing orchestrally, and getting the chance to do big themes and vibrant colours was a real treat.
HYBRID
Wrote this short track for a TV project last year. Written to build tension and drama, it’s a good showcase for a production vernacular that’s a bit more contemporary.
ADVENTURE
A playful, innocent track written for a VR maze game. Ori and the Blind Forest was a key musical reference for this one.
Three examples is probably sufficient for now, but you can find more work examples on my site’s homepage.
My priority with these sorts of intros is just to meet you (maybe Fraser, specifically?) - so if you’ve made it this far and that’s something you might be up for then please let’s arrange a coffee or a call.
Otherwise, I hope you’ll keep my name on file and I’ll do my best to stay in touch. I’ll follow up on this in a few weeks’ time anyway as I’m sure it’s ridiculously busy for you all right now.
Thanks so much for your time!
James
