ALMOST CUSTOM : Do you need original music for your film or video but can't afford it? Almost Custom is the answer!

I CAN WORK WITH YOUR BUDGET

A good deal of my career has been spent essentially as a film composer. I've scored so much music through the years that I have amassed a decent library of music of which I own all copyright. This means I can do what I want with it. This single fact allows me to provide a unique service for my clients with music straight from the source - me!

For some clients, I view and mark their video, choose music from my library, slice and dice, add a swish or a sound effect, and it's ready for show.

For other clients, I may need to edit the music selections together and then score a small segment so that it all appears seemless. Whatever it takes is what I do.

I have many happy clients that use this helpful service so contact me personally and let's work a deal!




TESTIMONIAL


"I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Michael over the past 12 years or so. As a director/producer/writer of over 200 diverse industrial programs from drama, action to comedy, Michael has scored a myriad of my projects. He infuses each project with energy and attention to detail that I not only enjoy and encourage - but that he demands as well. In essence, his music is but another character to my program. I might also add that I have won roughly 85 awards and a good many of them are with Michael's compositions." ~ John F. | Film Director

...

"Michael was a joy to work with. I was really impressed by his website and even more impressed with his work. As a budding filmmaker, I had little idea of how to talk to a composer - I only knew the mood I wanted the music to help create. Michael walked me through it all and made it a painless process being fast, efficient, understanding of my budget, and best of all...deadline-friendly. I have no reservations recommending him to other filmmakers, and very much look forward to our next project together." ~ Sheila | Filmmaker

"Mike, Everything went well with the program, the music turned out good. Thanks for everything, especially making your work so available, I appreciate it. I hope to be working with you in the near future. Thanks." ~ Matt | Director

"Michael John is an exception. He's more than just musical talent, he knows how to capture a feel by dipping his fingers into a tonal palette---turning ebony and ivory keys into a rainbow of sound. He can caress your ears or rock them till they bleed...and he knows when to do which. Talent isn't all that hard to find, but when you pair the brilliance of craft with an intuitive, perceptive ear, then you have something exceptional...you have Epic Soul." ~ Terry Esau--Composer of hundreds of TV commercials including Target, McDonalds, Pepsi, etc.
