[Lord_Arigas]

I'm starting to think it'll be near impossible to get an answer, let alone find the answer among all these pages of insanely adoring fans of yours heh. Well, I will paste my question from my last post (which was back on Page 83) one more time here.

*If it helps you, as much as it would help me, feel free to send my answer via PM. I will then cherish and save that PM for years to come* 3nodding

*My post from Page 83...*:

Hey Jeremy Soule, I'm a major fan of yours. I also have you on my MySpace. 3nodding

Anyways, for my question...

Are you by any chance going to be composing anymore video game remixes? (the one Final Fantasy remix you did called SquareSoftVariation I believe it was called, was.....well, I can't even describe in words how good you made Final Fantasy sound really! It was that good!) xd

do you have any advise for a song writer?

Try to write each day. It's like a muscle. You have to exercise.

I don't care for reposts, but I got lost thirty pages back.... so here goes again!

I'm so excited for the soundtrack to be coming out - I ordered my copy today. smile

I have been wondering for months though... I was listening to a Georgia NPR station and I SWEAR I heard the Village Greens music. People were telling me that I must have heard something that sounded "similar," but seeing as I have a degree in music I think I can recognize one of my favourite melodies when I hear it! XD It doesn't really matter now since I'll have the CD in my hands soon, but I'm still curious about why I was hearing it on the radio. Do you know anything about it? Was it released as a promotional deal or something?

Another quick question (hope nobody's asked it yet!):

When you compose music, what is your process? Do you start by writing a melody, or a bass line, or a chord progression? Do you write horizontally or vertically?

HI I love your work and i have 3 questions:
What advice do you have for people who would like to compose music such as you do?
What are some things that inspire the general theme for your music?
And what do you hope to work on most of all in the future?

P.S. Thanks for the awesome suspenceful day. Its the most fun i have had this Summer!!!

I would advise anyone to listen to Classical music each day---just as you take your vitamins! I hope to stay productive for a long time. I have many many projects in my plans.

Thank you!

Classical music are vitamins. Most of it sounds really nice, including the Four Seasons by Vivaldi. Autumn sounds really nice, especially if you go out for a walk while its Autumn. :3

Mr. Soule,

My friend is in love with your music. So much he would LOVE to own some of your music. Are you putting out CDs, or are there any ways to purchase your music?
