Name: Daniel Gaitan.

Email: dagaitan70@gmail.com

Location: Bogotá, Colombia.

Availability: I have all the time you need

Age: 22

Occupation: I am currently studying 2 careers at one of the best universities in Colombia and working at the same time but with very flexible schedules and have plenty of spare time. 

Skills and Experience: I have been in the world of music for 9 years where I have been playing in orchestras, in the philharmonic of my city, in choirs and I have had bands of different genres. I work in commercial composition, which is my main career in college and I have been able to study these types of music that call my attention. I have produced quite a few musical pieces from tonal to atonal, different ensembles and instruments throughout my career such as string orchestra, quartets, symphony format, synthesizers, traditional instruments, etc. On the other hand I have knowledge of production, recording, mixing and mastering. I handle different DAWS, depending on what is needed and the workflow. I also have great knowledge of score creation and editing. I have the possibility to record real instruments in professional studios that the university gives me, they are the best in the country, Disney movies and important projects have been produced and mixed. 

Motivation: I am motivated to contribute my creativity and work based on the fact that you have given me the best game for free and I could contribute my ideas for free. These games have always appealed to me and the community you have created and how you have been able to carry out the development of your game where we can help I love it.

Personality: I consider myself a creative, passionate, honest and perfectionist person.

Short Essay: I was looking for some free strategy/simulation games like Age of Empires and found you. It was several years ago while I was going through the whole corona virus pandemic. My motivation was explained above. I am looking to contribute and create sounds and music, enjoying what I like to do.

Interests and Hobbies: I like to exercise, help in church, I also go to foundations to help people in need and gaming. I like nature very much, so I always try to be in contact with it, like going for a walk in the forest.

Staff: No 

Community: I just watch YouTube videos of some games (YouTube gaming community)

Favorite Game: This is a very difficult question because I don't have a specific game but I do have a favorite genre which would be strategy/simulation of building, surviving, collecting resources and progressing. Some examples are 0 a.d., Age of Empires, Imperivm, Rise of Nations, Tropico, SimCity, Anno, Total War, Dawn of Man, The forest, Stranded Deep, Stellaris.

Work Examples: This way I can only upload 5 MB (not enough space), I would like to receive your email and send you my projects. 

(I sent you a tweet telling you that I wanted to contribute my music and you said yes, by mail and I didn't get it on your website, I asked you and I haven't received an answer. As I was told yes and for the Han civilization, I have already started to do my research and compose, once I get your mail I would like you to listen to it.)

Regards,

Daniel
