I’m hoping to locate some very beautiful, primarily acoustic music for an educational video on Merrymeeting Bay. There is a very scant budget for this, but I believe it will end up being a very high - end product which could garner much exposure. To that end, I’m open to using work which is already recorded, but would love to have compositions scored to the story.

Music qualities would likely include the themes: “calm”, “stirring”, “flowing”, “ethereal”, “emotive” (no, didn’t manage to film any predator/prey drama - so no chase music!)

My sense is that guitar, strings and/or piano would work best, but am open to suggestions. I know that much work around these days is computerized, new-age compositions.  I’m open to this if they are well done.

If you have some samples, or know of anyone who might fit the bill, please contact me:

Mark what’s up.  Just joined this site and saw your post here.  I know you posted this quite awhile ago but wondering if you found anyone.  I do a lot of solo acoustic finger-style stuff in the style of Leo Kottke, Michael Hedges, Bill Frisell, etc.  Even if you have found someone for this specific project please keep me in mind for any future projects involving any music creation whatsoever.  I can send you some examples if you want. Thanks Mark.

Thanks to all of you who have found my request here and sent me your sample work.  I have found the music I want for this particular project, but I’m always happy to keep samples on file for future projects.

Best,
Mark
