composers needed/

hello All!

my name is Malak (ii) and i am in toronto. i am a small film distributor AND this would be our second year doing a small new festival= QUEER 2 FLY FILM FESTIVAL. I am not a composer but i am looking for young musicians to team up with for 3 reasons:

1) for the festival-www.q2fff.com we don't collect the films done but we make them- all educational- therefore i'll need music for those short films where we will start shooting in january and we must screen them on March 22nd and 23rd at the University of Toronto, Innis Hall! Therefore, i'll need the music during January and february and possibly March if we're running late. This is a small festival so it's not a paying gig- however, you will coleect royalties if you're with Socan!!!

2) since we have a small FILM distribution company- we specialize in EDUCATIONAL/ ENTERTAINING/ NON PORNOGRAPHIC QUEER FILMS. sometimes they come with the music unclear/ in otherwords we need to score the short film again and of course as always, there is no budget for these small films, so, we come and get these shorts out of limbo and with people like you we can save the film with your music- again- this is not a paying job but a small contract for these will be made on a small percentage for you + rpyalties from Socan..

3) I AM looking for original songs - ELECTRONICA- like TELEPOPMUSIC- BENT- ROYKSOPP- CHRIS COCO-DIDO- i want to produce my first album in 2008, i am a lyricist as well and a singer,,,so i am looking for serious composers to give me great melodies!!!

lastly, i thank you all for the nice opportunities, this is very exiting...good luck to all..

malak!

If I may, two things:

1) Finding someone in here that does that kind of music might be a bit harder than you think; it's a classical oriented community with a strong jazz scene (kudos to Robin.) Still, don't give up.

2) Ever seen a Straight People Film Festival? No? Then I don't see the project's point other than to raise awareness of gay people, which is hardly needed. My honest opinion.

the songs are not gay, they're regular songs- the job is 3 folds, one of them is for the queer festival- there is an album- they're regular songs- however, thank you for pointing out that most of composers here are more classical /jazzy oriented..!

one more thing if i may, i have indeed attended dozens straight festival- smiles- but i do think that the more awareness the better the world is,,,but in any event, your comments are greatly appreciated..

I would like to help you out on the films. Samples of my work can be found at:

Something wrong with that :huh:?

Maybe he is Chinese too :P

awesome/ smiles...but as soon as i put my website URl and mentioned the word QUEER & GAY they immediately thought i do pornographic stuff!!!!!!! so i was kicked out of the site and had to explain.. and then when we put the ad on, u see the first comment i got, as you can read it for yourself,,so when you were kind and wrote : i'll help out!! i figured: GREAT! I THOUGHT I WAS FROM OUTER SPACE OR SPEAKING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE TO THESE PEOPLE- my favorate race is asian,,,so no, i'm not chinese but it's one of the most difficult languages and i thought since these guys are not understanding what i'm trying to do here maybe i'm speaking a foreign language to these people and i mentioned Chinese,,,i'm delighted to hear from both,,,and i absolutely adore asian culture and people.....thanks for your comments,,,is there a way i can hear more music,,,i do like all the ones i heard so far...is there a chance i can get somebody to compose some ELECTRONICA new: actual song= like TELEPOPMUSIK, ROYKSOPP ETC..?? WOULD be a dream come true!!!!!! thx a 100000000000. malak

I THOUGHT I WAS FROM OUTER SPACE OR SPEAKING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE TO THESE PEOPLE- my favorate race is asian,,,so no, i'm not chinese but it's one of the most difficult languages and i thought since these guys are not understanding what i'm trying to do here maybe i'm speaking a foreign language to these people and i mentioned Chinese,,,i'm delighted to hear from both,,,and i absolutely adore asian culture and people

Seriously, something wrong with you?

And you never use a punctuation mark, incredible :O

You can start of by learning how to type.

as soon as i put my website URl and mentioned the word QUEER & GAY they immediately thought i do pornographic stuff!!!!!!! so i was kicked out of the site and had to explain..

I don't appreciate seeing that, especially after the lengthy assistance I gave you in helping your announcement conform to the board rules.

No-one here is suggesting "queer" or "gay" automatically equates to "pornographic". The site you initially linked to did however contain some overtly suggestive imagery, so the post was removed. I believe I explained the justification behind this to you twice: once via PM and again via email.

Speaking of the board rules, please tidy up your writing in future posts as per the second bullet point here: http://www.youngcomposers.com/forum/faq.php?faq=board_rules#faq_post_related_etiquette
