“Writing demo songs for virtual instruments poses unique challenges. Not only does it involve creating an arrangement that highlights the subject instrument, but also demonstrating a wide range of dynamics and articulations with the instrument. Nathan was a pleasure working with! He communicated quickly and effectively, sent previews of the work in progress for feedback, and ultimately wrote a fantastic demo song for our product! I would absolutely recommend him for any of your music composition needs.” 9/10

"Working with Nathan is like working with a musical miracle worker. He hammers out tracks cartoonishly fast, and clearly cares deeply about the tracks he composed for my D&D show. He takes ideas and makes them flourish, and can switch on a dime if there’s any feedback, handling any critique with maturity and elegance. I've geeked over music my entire life & working with him is such a joy because of the shared passion for music and the emotions it evokes and how important it is to whatever project it’s made for. The OST he composed will forever be dear to me. Bro is a legend.” 10/10

"Nathan's innate mastery of all things musical, natural talent at producing distinct and memorable melodies from even the roughest of descriptions and their subsequent ability to craft and tweak their in-progress work to fit clients' specifications and expectations are all nothing short of magical. Nathan's passion for their craft is contagious in a way that I've never seen with any of the talent that I've had the pleasure to work with before or since hiring them. Simply put, the quality of their work is so high that it inevitably becomes an integral and essential part of any project lucky enough to be scored by Nathan. I couldn't conceive of working with any other composer on my future projects." 10/10

“Nathan was an absolute delight to work with. I gave him a generalized idea with some inspirations and he took off. He was very communicative about the process, making sure to ask my opinion about the WIPs and absolutely nailed the idea I had in mind for the piece I commissioned!

“Nathan was incredible to work with from start to finish, with timely responses, incredibly fast demos, and an amazing quality of work. He seemed to really care about my commission and the story I wanted to convey with it - and while I was really worried at first I wouldn’t be able to find someone who could do what I wanted, I’m so so happy to have put something so close to my heart in his care because he made something truly wonderful. Absolutely the first person I’d contact if I ever need to commission someone for something like this again.” 10/10

"Admittedly my first e-mail about a commission was shot down fairly quickly, given that I was looking for a piece of music that was entirely based around a rigid little melody to be made into “a proper soundtrack”, which in retrospect was probably unnecessarily restrictive. However, after discussing the idea further, Nathan ultimately decided to take me up on that challenge; and with the power of hindsight I can say that I’m overjoyed that he did! Commissioning him was an absolute delight, given that he worked diligently to reimagine and creatively expand on the provided melody to create an absolutely fantastic piece of music, that exceeded my expectations! Throughout the process he went out of his way to create many varied versions of this track until he had it fine-tuned to a perfect degree, that I was completely happy with! For anyone reading this, I’d definitely recommend commissioning him – he cares both about the music and the commissioner, which in my book should net him a 10 out 10." 10/10

“Working with Nathan was easy, and the results were great. He was able to take my rough idea and turn it into a great and fitting little piece that totally encapsulated the theme and tone that I wanted for the project. Iterations were fast - the whole piece was composed over four days- and the results speak for themselves. I look forward to introducing people to the music he's created for the game, and hopefully to working more with him in the future. A solid 10/10” 10/10

“I had the pleasure of working with Nathan on a game called Toppled Tower for the Ludum Dare game jam. He was amazingly fast, very communicative, and provided me clips of his work throughout each step of the production. He ended up making a wonderful adaptive sound track with a catchy, hummable tune, that built up as the game progressed. He even provided me with extra clips to use for blending between the different tracks, which saved me a lot of time- and showed his expertise and flexibility. A powerful addition to any team!” 10/10

“Nathan was an absolute darling to work with, listened to every request I had and with a really quick turn around time. His sounds really ground my transitions on my stream, his attention to detail as crisp as his quality and really brought up my production quality of my brand quite a lot. I'll definitely be looking for more!” 10/10

“An absolute joy to work with. Nathan has a passion and talent I've yet seen matched, and was able to pin down what I wanted, despite my own lack of musical expertise. I was never in the dark when it came to progress, with steady updates and check-ins. I look forward to working with him again if the opportunity arises.” 10/10

“Nathan's work is nothing short of superb, and working with them was an absolute joy. Even though I went into this not knowing exactly how to iterate what I wanted out of the piece, they were able to help bridge that gap and produce something truly wonderous and on mark with what I was looking for. A stupendous wizard when it comes to musical talent, I would definitely hire them again.” 10/10

“I found Nathan through his work on Dialtown, which I was extremely impressed by; his score had amazing range to it, and when I saw that he was taking commissions, I leapt at the chance to request a piece of my own for my stream. I debated between a shorter jingle-esque piece and a 3 minute instrumental loop (to use as a stream outro song), and he offered me the option of a shorter piece, but decided to go for the full loop as the prices were extremely reasonable (shockingly so compared to what many larger companies charge for licensing their artists' tracks) and he assured me he'd be able to create a fitting electroswing piece for me, and given some of the Dialtown tracks, I was certain he'd pull it off. He did so with flying colours; I was absolutely amazed by what he produced, and he kept me updated with what he was doing; when he was working on it; and gave me multiple examples of the piece-in-progress, so I knew exactly how it sounded and if there were any changes I wanted made to it (for example, minor-major key transitions). For the record, he didn't need to change anything; it was perfect. I highly recommend anyone that needs a piece for their project to get in contact with Nathan if they want a creator who is easy to work with and enthusiastic about what they do, and when I need my next piece, I'll be contacting him again.” 10/10
