faq


  • I use Musescore v3 to compose, and will occasionally master in Musescore v4 & Reaper (DAW).
  • I've played piano for ~15 years and usually start composing by fooling around with the keyboard.
  • Completed commissions are posted as my portfolio, but will not be reused or resold commercially.
  • I am willing to compose for [visual novel/video game/insert your project here]. I do not take revenue share as a form of payment.
  • I am open to trading, but less inclined for longer/more involved pieces.
  • All purchases help fund my webhosting, online poetry, anthology publication, and all other extracurricular artistic endeavors!

UPDATES


Update 5/20/24: Thanks to everyone still interested in my music! I'm so grateful for the support allowing me to grow & try so many different experiments as a musician. I'm still plugging away at compositions - most commissions take me ~4-8 hours, depending on length! - and I'm glad to still be able to fit playing around on the piano into my week.

Update 8/30/23: Happy summer! I've started a new job and but also finished moving (mostly), so I'm still plugging away at my queue. Thank you all so so much for your continued support and interest in my compositions!

Update 4/25/23: It's been a...while. A huge thank-you to everyone for sticking around through everything - new keyboard, exam seasons unto infinity, COVID, graduation - we've seen it all! I'm moving in May/June, so work may be slower over that period due to my computer not working unless it's plugged in. Afterwards I should be able to keep plugging along (ha!) and finish up my current queue! Again...thank you all so much!

Update 12/4/22: Getting close to the end of classes...I'm opening a short sale for 20-30s commissions which will be finished over winter break (Dec. 22/Jan. 23)! Thanks to everyone for sticking with me, I am incredibly grateful for the support over the past years!

Update 2/9/22: Woo! Prices bumped up now! TL;DR explanation for this: I'm in a whole bunch of design classes right now AND looking for employment (got laid off due to budget cuts) and can no longer spend time on commissions that are working out to less than $5/hr for me. Commissions have been getting pushed to the bottom of the list because they're fun but not really sustainable! I also recently got access to a DAW & a new keyboard (Roland RD-88) with scholarship funds so. Stay tuned!!!

Update 10/15/21: Once again, your patience is appreciated! (Midterms, am I right?) Will be sending out messages to the next few people on the waitlist soon - stay tuned!

Update 9/5/21: Everyone before the cutoff is now in the queue!

Update 8/12/21: Having some IRL issues, and I don't have time to track people down. If you get a message and don't respond within a few days, I will move down my waitlist! Additionally, if I send an invoice and it's not paid within a few days, I will move down my waitlist! If you pay / contact me after that, you will be fit in as soon as possible - aka after I get to the people who responded first. Thank you for your understanding!

Update 8/10/21: Due to increased workload this fall, there will likely be another price raise soon! Legacy pricing will, again, be available for waitlist-dwellers. Thanks for your patience!

Update 7/26/21: Thanks once again for your patience! I am working on contacting the next people in my queue now!

Update 6/27/21: Short delay for exams! Pour one out for my free time; summer courses are going to do me in, I think.

Update 6/7/21: The new-and-improved code embed with my credit is available HERE! Be sure to use some form of credit when posting (as per my T.O.S. above)!

Update 6/4/21: Prices are now bumped up! Legacy prices available for all current slots and waitlist (before cutoff).

Update 6/2/21: I am attempting to contact and complete my commissions at a faster rate. Thank you for your patience!

Sincerely,
kale

Butter_Dragon pretty much anything is fine! you can request mood, instruments, etc., supply a music piece you like the vibe of, or just give a quick description of a character! i've also written songs based of moodboards, scenes, relationship dynamics, and character arcs! :) 

i hope that helps a little bit?
