Introducing myself

Hi from Sweden (Europe)... New member as of late July, 2016!

Well educated and in several genres. Originally in classical classical music, music theory etc., but also moved on to more modern genres:
Soundtrack & Hybrid styles, World Music, Melodic Metal, Pop & Rock styles, Meditation/Relaxing/New-age music, Musicals, Historical, Synth-based, basically any genres with strong emotions and genuine musical qualities.


In recent years, I've been focusing more on composing, mixing and other production skills.

Mainly using professional sample libraries for instrument sounds, like many composers for media do, but I also acknowledge the demand for real singers and instrumentalists is often still there.
(I do still sing, play the piano, guitars and drums too, but not as much lately.)


Although I'm not seasoned with licensing my music yet, at least I've been a student of certain Licensing courses elsewhere.

Been improving production skills since around 2011, and licensing knowledge for around 2 years.
So I feel my levels and knowledge are competitive by now.
But it still is a nervous feeling to test my wings!
I did my first TAXI submissions this Week! (for piano tracks)

But there are always room for improvements...
I am always happy to learn from different perspectives of others, and contributing to discussions too.
Hoping to be more active on this forum onwards, now that I took this first step already.


ABOUT COLLABS:

In a not too distant future, I'm looking for ways to make commercial grade collabs for Music Licensing, for either a share or fee.
That also already goes for quick opportunities that might fit us both.

But I will make a post about this in that forum section.


And don't hesitate to contact me either way!
PM me in the forum (FredrikPark), or through my main online pages.
[edit: Shoutout to Henrietta and Melissa, as well as some fellow pianists that I am familiar with from a certain FB group. ]

PS. Some recent tracks for licensing are not public on my pages yet, and some existing ones will be edited or re-arranged better for licensing.
I am registered with the Swedish PRO ("STIM"), with an international IPI number. :)
DS.

Best regards and wishes to us all! / Fredrik

Welcome Frederik!

I heard Fred's great music on another composer forum, and recommended he join TAXI. And I'm so glad you did! I think TAXI and you are a match made in heaven :)

And I also understand that I am to get $100 my second year of membership off because I referred you? How great is that?! Thanks, TAXI!

Thanks a lot, Don!
I visited your Soundcloud page, and noticed very nice guitar performances, creating strong moods and associations.

Thank you so much for all the help and encouragement, dear Henrietta!
Very happy that TAXI staff choose to include your referral, even though I only budged and joined after the deal announcement was made.

It's a kinda big step for me, but I feel I am ready for at least some challenges ahead.
Sad thing is that I won't be able to join the TAXI TV chat most of the times, I really would love to chime in and make more connections there as well...

Hi Fredrik,
We made this big step at the same time, so welcome to you too. What you have accomplished thus far in your musical journey is great, I hope TAXI is a good fit for you. I firmly believe the more good stuff members can submit the better Taxi looks and the better Taxi looks the more opportunities we all have. So, create away:-) :D
Oh, and have fun.
Lorraine
