Commissions
If you're here, I hope my work has intrigued you enough to potentially request my services.
Admittedly I'm not much for business, but music is seldom anything without a beholder, so I've made a small gig for offering my talents here and there.
not to mention getting mileage out of a (((degree)))
My field(s) mainly consist of instrumentals (jazz, orchestral, lo-fi, minimalism, melodic hip-hop, electronics, and far too much ambience)
I'm looking forward to exploring rock, breakcore, breakbeat, and funk over the next year or so
For starters, 3 methods to reach out for comms are listed below:
Discord (username is y2nad)
VGen (setting up account)
Email: y2nad@proton.me
Payment: https://ko-fi.com/danny_boyo (for now, crypto coming soon)
Unless the lay of the land changes (again), I plan for these to be my main avenues to reach me.
If you're a VGen user, head there now for the rest of the details, otherwise please continue reading below
Services (so, what'll it be?)
- Composing (starting from $30)
- *Original* composition of varying instruments, genres, and styles at client request
- Pricing set to a temporal rate (per minute) based solely on details (complexity of request, ensemble size, intended usage, presentation, etc.)
| Tiers | Example Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | short jingles, sound bytes, video/audio shorts, promotional, small ensemble, etc. | $30 |
| Tier 2 | BGM for multimedia content creation (videos, streaming, website, social media, video game contribution) | $50 |
| Tier 3 | large scale ensembles, music for live performance, unique genres, styles, or instruments (will require further discussion) | $80 |
This formula will be used for all other categories, these descriptions may not cover everything, feel free to ask more questions fun fact, I've tortured myself with learning MAX/MSP, feel free to ask about it
- Arranging/Instrumentals (starting from $20)
- Willing to put my ears (and/or eyes) to work and "arrange" a pre-existing song whether for vocal/instrument covers or general instrumental usage
- Can prioritize matching source material or add unique aspects to project (feel free to clarify)
- Prices determined by complexity of song and intended usage X length in minutes
| Tiers | Example Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | video/audio shorts, small ensemble arrangements/covers | $20 |
| Tier 2 | vocal song covers spanning several minutes (TV size eligible for tier 1), large ensemble arrangements/covers | $45 |
Transcribing songs for solely instrumentals will depend on source material for pricing, so no set tier until discussion
- Copyist (starting from $2.50)
- The part where I put my double-edged perfectionism to work to write sheet music for you
- This can apply to your own music OR may already be included in a given commission from the previous two categories at your request (free of charge)
- In similar fashion, prices are determined at rate of complexity X length in pages of music
| Tiers | Example Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | single instrument/vocal/lead sheets, jingles, etc. | $2.50 |
| Tier 2 | medium size ensembles, extended notation | $7.50 |
| Tier 3 | unique/large scale ensembles, complex engraving, unique requests | $15 |
To be frank, unless your request is unreasonable or otherwise just very time consuming, you'll see discounts or may have it done free of charge as long as I don't see you selling it somewhere else
- Sound Engineer Magic (starting from $30)
- Typically included in the aforementioned categories regarding my own work, also open to having files sent to me for polishing
- Includes general editing (timing, tuning, EQ, FX), mixing, mastering and any other necessary or requested edits within my capabilities
- Flat/fixed rate not affected by length
| Tiers | Example Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 0.5 | Basic sound design (small bites, effects, tracks, etc.) | $15 |
| Tier 1 | 1-3 vocals/instruments, generally melody/harmony + backing track or small ensemble | $30 |
| Tier 2 | medium-large ensemble involving multiple tracks (back up vocals/instruments), complex FXs, potential help with recording | $70 |
- Consultation (starting from $0, bc why not?)
Can't say I've done much yet, but me and my music have seen some performing stages, why not share what I've learned in this short time?
Willing to take questions and give advice regarding the previous 4 categories from general critique to technique if you've got work of your own to show.
(If I don't know the answer, chances are it's inside one of my giant textbook or obscure forum links)

Important TOS and FAQ
Terms of Service
You are encouraged to provide as much detail as possible for your commission unless you'd like for me to take creative liberty :).
Otherwise, musical references or other forms of explanation regarding your request are much appreciated to expedite the process.
Figuring out new payment method, this may update overtime depending on VGen's capabilities and alternatives I find.

Most commissions will operate under "CC BY-NC-SA" license.
Being "pro-consumer", while I believe you should have rights to your own product, there is still the subject of copyright belonging to me. Licensing will be discussed while finalizing the commission as commercial distribution outside the initial commission must be requested and bought.
That being said, proper credit is appreciated regardless (feel free to use social links at the bottom when posting online!)
-
Regarding commission finalizing, nothing is final until both parties agree to distribute or present the product (outside exacerbating circumstances).
As I am reserving the right to post my original works for promotion and archival purposes, I'll be vigilant and making sure everything is to your liking before accepting payment (which includes your right to request for me not to post anything when the job is finished).
Let's be frank, no one likes to delete/reupload stuff.
