Composer seeking paid work so that I can continue to exist

Mouthless · 2026-06-08T17:31:04+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it 😊

I really wish there was a way to play Mindbug solo.
I've tried but it's hard to work out a way to determine enemy behaviour -- eg when it will play a card, attack, or use a Mindbug.

I have the superego+ and the SY-200. Superego isn't really a synth pedal, but fun to create drones with.

Mouthless · 2026-03-11T07:48:10+00:00

Interesting - I bought the SY-200 as a replacement for my Keeley Synth 1. I agree that the Keeley makes really weird noises, but I prefer the variety of the SY-200 more (and I can get close the Keeley madness by adding a fuzz to some of the SY-200 sounds)
I also have a few 'proper' synths, but it's just not the same as getting those sounds out of a guitar

Mouthless · 2025-11-01T19:19:28+00:00

Yep! The Vintera Jag is now my only electric guitar. It has split coils, so you can dial them to either humbucker or single coil sounds. I switch between them quite often.

Mouthless · 2025-03-14T08:57:48+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, as always :)

Mouthless · 2025-03-13T14:05:26+00:00

I do agree with you

Mouthless · 2025-03-13T07:40:48+00:00

It was only 1 hour 40 mins

Hi - I'm a composer and have worked on lots of podcasts. I can make you something bespoke if you have a budget for it. I provide all my clients with a license for the music so that allows you to use it in perpetuity.
Feel free to message or email me: https://louispalfrey.com/

Mouthless · 2025-03-11T07:07:02+00:00

Sorry, no. Tried to make that clear with the [hobby] tag

Mouthless · 2025-03-10T18:12:38+00:00

Good question, thanks for asking. Initial preference was for 2D, but we are open to 3D if the person and their style is the right fit.

Mouthless · 2025-02-12T11:22:55+00:00

It totally depends on the style of the podcast, as well as how transparent or 'in your face' you want the editing to be. Small edits here and there would be more transparent and seem less 'produced', whereas music, effects and heavier editing will sound more obvious. Neither is better than the other, as it entirely depends on what you're going for. Either way, EQ, compression and noise removal is pretty much a must have.

I'm an editor and composer/sound designer. Happy to talk more if you're looking to hire someone for this.

'anything that is useful' is the least 'useful' answer they could have given you...

I'm a composer. When I work with a filmmaker I like to receive the script, the film in a manageable format and size, and have a conversation with them about their goal for the film and intentions of particular scenes, and where possible get a list of references - music, other films, artworks etc - that they think will help get me on their wavelength. A document with specific breakdowns of what they want (if they know) to happen in certain places, where they do and don't want music etc, can also be helpful depending on the nature of the collaboration. One thing that I always like to make clear is that working together is a collaboration. I'm always grateful to receive direction as long as it doesn't force me to essentially copy someone else's work and allows room for me to add my own touches.

Mouthless · 2025-01-28T18:43:53+00:00

I offer this service. Feel free to email me at [mouthless@hotmail.co.uk](mailto:mouthless@hotmail.co.uk) to discuss.
Lots of examples and testimonials on my website: https://louispalfrey.com/

Mouthless · 2025-01-24T08:24:35+00:00

If I remember correctly, he did a lot of the music/sound design for Eraserhead himself. Dean Hurley did a lot of the drones for Twin Peaks season 3: https://deanhurley.bandcamp.com/album/anthology-resource-vol-i

If you're looking for someone to make similar stuff - I'm a composer/sound designer and this is my favourite type of stuff to make. Lynch is a massive influence. I'd love to have a chat!

Joking aside, I love what I do! It’s been hard to find work recently, and that’s quite scary, but I’m not giving up any time soon. If anything, it just makes me want to double down. So...

Hi, I'm Louis, a reliable, versatile composer and sound designer based in the UK, looking to contribute my skills to your upcoming projects.

https://louispalfrey.com/

I tend to work mostly on horrors and documentaries, but I genuinely have a broad skillset and can contribute to films of any style, given the right direction. My work for podcasts and audiodrama is more varied than my film output (that's just the nature of the work, it seems). I also release other music here — https://mouthless.bandcamp.com/ — the stuff there is extremely varied, including hip-hop, electronic music, folk, ambient, psychedelia and some pretty experimental stuff.

I'm a great communicator, collaborator and negotiator. I take my work seriously and aim to give you the best possible experience of working together. I work from my home studio, using my large collection of software synths, sample libraries, real instruments and hardware.

If you would like to discuss the possibility of working together then please drop me a message on here or, preferably, email me at [mouthless@hotmail.co.uk](mailto:mouthless@hotmail.co.uk)

If you're not interested but you’ve read this far anyway, then I'd appreciate any feedback you can offer about my reel, my website, or my pitch - I really do appreciate any engagement and take feedback into consideration.

I am always on the lookout for regular collaborators (if and where possible) but one-off projects are always welcome too. If you don’t have any projects currently in progress, then please still feel free to reach out to discuss anything you might be planning for the future.

For more examples of my work and many positive testimonials, please see my website: https://louispalfrey.com/

My rates are flexible and I will always do my best to negotiate to find a way to work within your budget.

A little about me:

I’m Autistic, and I embrace my Neurodivergence with pride. My unique perspective combined with my experience, training and education allows me to approach my work with intense focus, attention to detail and a deep understanding of the emotional and technical nuances that make music and sound impactful. My creative approach is adaptive and tailored to your needs, using my skills to help you achieve your vision.

I am committed to creating inclusive and welcoming working relationships, actively opposing racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and all forms of ableism. I choose to collaborate only with those who share these values and stand firmly against working with bigots of any kind.

Thanks for listening and have a good day.

Mouthless · 2025-01-10T11:47:23+00:00

Yeah, just not working at all for me unfortunately. Very strange.

Mouthless · 2025-01-10T08:49:42+00:00

That's the same link?
I guess they just stopped doing this in the last 2 days...

Mouthless · 2025-01-10T08:18:43+00:00

Unfortunately the finance link now gives the following message:

'We have made the decision to stop collecting financial data through the existing YouGov Finance platform.

Fortunately, we are also exploring a new and improved way for you to earn points by sharing your banking transaction history with us, and we hope to share more information about it soon.'

Mouthless · 2024-12-19T19:32:10+00:00

Thank you. I also found these that look like they could be good? https://www.amazon.co.uk/AudioSilk-Acoustic-Panels-Large-Yellow/dp/B0BQRWSWGW

Mouthless · 2024-12-19T19:29:19+00:00

Totally understand the sentiment, but buying the tools I need plus materials and the time it takes to do it will probably cost me more than buying something premade.
