FAQ

One project I’m especially proud of is the soundtrack I created for "UFO: Alien Invasion," a videogame that has reached over 1.7 million downloads. Being part of a project that reached so many people and left a mark in the gaming community means a lot to me.

My promise is to always listen carefully to your ideas, respect your vision, and give every project my full dedication. I guarantee open and honest communication, quick replies, and a real passion for making your music unique and memorable. Your satisfaction means everything to me, and I won’t stop working until you’re truly happy with the result.

I usually ask a few key questions to get to know your needs and ideas: What is the main purpose or mood of your project? Do you have any references or examples of music you like? Are there specific instruments or styles you want to include or avoid? What is your ideal deadline? Is there a story, message, or feeling you want the music to communicate? Are there technical requirements or formats you need? I love listening to my clients and making sure I understand their vision before starting. Good communication always leads to the best results!

I usually work on orchestral soundtracks for films and videogames, but I also create music for short films, web series, and commercials. Besides that, I often collaborate with Hip Hop and Pop artists who want to add orchestral or cinematic elements to their tracks. This lets me move between classical, modern, and experimental styles, always focusing on creating something unique and emotional.

The things my fans often notice and love about my work are the powerful, deep, almost rock inspired violins, as well as the rich low tones I use. I’m known for being able to create a wide variety of themes, sometimes exploring a broad musical spectrum even within the same composition.

My work process always starts with listening carefully to your needs and vision for the project. I like to discuss your ideas, references, and goals to be sure I understand exactly what you want. Once we agree on the direction, I’ll create a draft and share it with you for feedback. After your input, I’ll refine the music and send you an updated version. Usually, I deliver the first version within a week. One revision is always included, and I’m always happy to communicate throughout the process to be sure you’re fully satisfied with the final result!

I work with keyboards, guitars, and basses to craft unique soundtracks using a blend of digital and analog sounds. I’ve developed a custom made orchestra, specially configured to sound incredibly realistic. This orchestra is perfect for soundtracks, and it also shines when used in Hip Hop and Pop tracks, whether to support melodies or to create memorable intros and outros!

My story began many years ago during the amazing mp3.com era! In just a few months, I became one of mp3.com’s top artists under the name Vanethian, and was featured in the well-known FLASHBACK2000 compilation. Since then, I’ve composed music for over 100 videogame soundtracks, commercials, short films, and much more.

No. Music packs and ready to use tracks are provided under a non-exclusive license. This means you can use the music in your project, while the tracks may also remain available to other clients.
