I am here for Friends

About Me

Hi, I'm Shaun 'Korsrol' MacGowan, composer/producer/musician. I'm studying Music Technology and Audio Systems at Huddersfield Uni, have a missis by the name of Samantha Simpson, play the violin and guitar, sing out of tune, and here are the rest of the goings on in my world...

Composition

1) Audio to accompany video (adverts, films, games etc) and media for events (club nights etc).

2) Song composition/arrangement for solo artists and bands, specializing in orchestral instrumentals and rock/pop/dance.

Previous work:

The Heart of Vampire England - Theme for club night/festival

Recording

Currently only working with my own bands/projects, solo/group vocal artists and singer-songwritiers. Setting up a permanent studio as we speak...

Promotion - FREE! just so long as you own all the song rights, that is, the release is not owned by a record label. All we ask is that we can upload the release to our music manager on Last.fm. And don't worry, you'll still keep all rights!
