Pixel Joint Forum: J Primate: Bodacious 8-Bit Music and SFX 4 you

Message

   Salutations Pixeljoint! ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪

My name is James, and I am a VGM composer looking for new projects. If you are a chiptune enthusiast, you may know me as half of chip-pop duo br1ght pr1mate and I have recently been working pretty much full-time writing retro game soundtracks and SFX. I use classic hardware and from-the-ground-up synthesis methods, so music and sounds are 100% original to your project, with that rich hardware and 8bit sound that only comes from original sound chips! 

Here is a link to my VGM bandcamp page with a number of full OSTs and various things for your perusal (huge updates soon!): http://jamesprimate.bandcamp.com

DEMO REELZ: 

Check out my chiptune/VGM specific demo reel here:

And an 8Bit SFX Demo reel here:

While you're listening, care to peruse some of my most recent projects?

* Junk Jack, which reached #2 on the App Store for Adventure Games. Touch Arcade called the soundtrack "Excellent": http://toucharcade.com/2011/11/09/junk-jack-review/

and if you google "br1ght pr1mate" you'll find all sorts of other crazy stuff we've done ;)

CONTACTZ: 

Anyway, I am available for projects of any size and budget, I just love making game music and seeing awesome new games come to life. I am easy to deal with, reliable and have a lightning quick turn-around time. Lets talk!

	Time for an update! Tangled OST: http://brightprimate.bandcamp.com/album/tangled-ost From the box: "Smooth and meditative, this is the soundtrack to Billie Lavoie's classic iOS puzzle game "Tangled". With over 2 million downloads since its initial release, "Tangled" deserved a graphical overhaul and some meditative zen music to set the mood. This contemplative soundtrack by Br1ght Pr1mate composer James Primate and new art by designer Ryan Brock ensures its place in iOS gaming classics." also i just finished music and SFX for Franklin's Ghost's "Hiko Run", a bizarre side-scrolling adventure game about monster love, which I think came out really well: http://soundcloud.com/james_primate/hiko-run-first-level-loopd and just for fun, a tune from upcoming sci-fi game "Spacehero Command": http://soundcloud.com/james_primate/spacehero-command-demo More to come soon...

	I'm currently working with James on a game project and he's awesome! He's very professional and produces high quality work, quickly. We live on opposite sides of the US but that's never been a problem because he has excellent communication and is really easy to get along with. If you need music or SFX, I definitely recommend getting in touch with James.
