Introducing myself, from Philadelphia

Hi, all!

I just thought I'd introduce myself. I joined Taxi 4 months ago, but finally sat down and filled in my bio, data, blah, blah.

I'm Mike Worth, I'm out of Philadelphia. I started in film and TV music about 6 years ago, did some library work, etc., then moved into video games. About 2 years ago, I started a small video game studio called Play Eternal. We're focusing on digitally distributed games for the core gamer that wants to jump right into a deep, fun game. So, much of my composing and sound design was for them/us.

About 5 months ago, I got the bug to start writing licensable music again, music for libraries again, etc., and signed up for Taxi. The people running taxi have been great, and I'm looking forward to hearing all of your works and hearing your success stories!

It's a great time to be a remote composer, with all the tools and software available, we can write competitive, compelling music from anywhere, and get it licensed and played. Truly a great time to be a composer!

Have a great day!

Mike

Jump in, Mike!
Sounds like you've already had a good ride.
If you can find time to share some of your experiences in the Peer To Peer section once in a while, I'm sure you can do a lot of good around here..

Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone!

Andrew, great to see you again! You look like you've had a great last couple of years, congratulations!

Yep, still writing and playing, doing my thing.

I look forward to hearing some of your work, and I'm looking forward to getting some ears and thoughts on my pieces, try to make them better and more "sell-able". :)

Mike
