FAQ
Can I see examples of your work?
Of course! Feel free to contact me and ask for examples. I have my work showcased on my YouTube channel as well as my Soundcloud page and personal website.
What styles do you offer?
I can offer a wide range of styles. Orchestra or hybrid orchestra specifically. Action to horror and adventure to fantasy. From loud and in your face to small and subtle. All you need to do is let me know what you're looking for, I'll let you know if it's something I can tackle.
Can you work within my budget?
I know life happens and I will do my best to accomodate you within reason. Please contact me and we can discuss to find a solution that can work for both of us!
Do you mix and master your scores?
Mixing and mastering is included in ALL of my projects to make sure you get the best quality audio for your project. Individual stems can be done for an added fee.
Do I need to credit you for your work?
I would appreciate it if you did. As this is a professional business, I would like to be credited in your projects (within reason; for example an ad campaign may not need to credit me). A small "music by: Derek Palmer" credit will suffice. If not sure, please contact me to discuss.
I have a copyrighted song, can you re-produce this track for me?
While I do get asked this frequently, I would rather focus on original content and due to copyrights, I cannot copy a track specifically. I can, however, use any existing songs as a reference to style and create something in a similar tone or style for you.
Can you provide sheet music?
At this time I cannot provide sheet music. Hopefully in the future I will have this option available.
Do I get copyrights to your work?
Short answer is no. While you are getting a license to use this in your projects and films (commercial licensing is available for upper tier packages), this does not grant you the copyrights of said work. I do ask for composing credit in my compositions.
How do you record your scores?
I record all my scores myself with my piano/MIDI controller and industry standard recording gear. I only use the best instruments, plugins and software to provide the best quality to my clients. This is an ever changing palette as new gear and software is purchased and becomes available.
Will you send the the project file for this recording?
Unfortunately no. You are paying for my scoring services and providing the actual project file is not one that I currently offer.

Loved working with Derek. He was attentive and made collaborating on the music for my film very easy. I would recommend for others, for sure!

Derek was a pleasure to work with. Ultra quick communicator and he was very attentive to all the project requirements. Derek really knows his stuff when it comes to the specific genre of the dark mythical film I made. He took the pains to match his compositions to the specific beats of the film. Highly...

Derek is not only a great guy, but also a great communicator who not only takes instruction well in terms of achieving what is asked for but also adds his own creative slant to the project as a whole. I couldn't ask for a better composer to work with. Again: Great communicator, great creative vision...
