Mmm Commissions-
a year ago
Hi, I've never really done a journal at all, ever, really. So, I figure I should start somewhere, right..?
Since this is a place to put down some of the things on my mind, I suppose I should start with the most pressing matter: commissions.
I'd honestly love to complete commissions making various styles of music, but I'm not like crazy confident in my skills, or that I'll be able to meet the expectations of whoever entrusts me to whip together a small work of music for them. I'm doing some digging around to try and figure out how to go about pricing such commissions, and so far I'm seeing costs of around $50-$200 for novice work. I'm curious what price someone would consider a reasonable fee for spending a few hours up to a few days on a 1-3 minute long track, so if you have any thoughts, feel free to chip in!
I'm not sure what the demand for commission musicians is, or exactly how they go about conducting business, but I'm a bit too anxious to go and ask; frankly I feel a little green around here, is all. So, in the mean time, I'll be posting some more songs and WIPs that I haven't completed yet to give people a better idea of what I can deliver, which I figure is a half decent first step.
Other than fretting over the idea of setting up commissions to help fund the downpayment for my first house while I'm working my full-time job, I can't particularly think of anything else that's weighing on my mind right now!
... Other than dragons, gryphons, about a dozen other species, but, that's a given.
