    I'm a multi-instrumentalist and contemporary composer, having spent nearly the last decade as a member of Modest Mouse. I have performed live with The National and The Decemberists primarily on viola and keys, and I've been on Fallon, Kimmel, Corden, Letterman. It was a blast! After headlining stages at Coachella and Sasquatch, I find I take great pleasure in creating viola, voice and keys on a multitude of artist recordings and film scores at my very own Late Bloomer Studios. I have an equal fondness for hardcore punk as I do classical, and consider myself a professional, timely and creative musical collaborator. Oh, I'm also known for some graceful voiceover work both in English and French. I come to the studio and stage with confidence and a unique style that complements all genres. I'd love to help make your artistic endeavor flourish!

    Hi there! Just a heads up that my previous work experience is merely included as a demonstration of intellect and general proof of competency, as it has no relation to the music and/or entertainment industries whatsoever. The relevant part of my experience involves music production on the Sony ACID Pro platform since 2012.

Please see the Portfolio section of my profile for the Spotify, Soundcloud and ReverbNation links to some of the work that I've produced. My goal is to find work creating music for an individual or an organization on a full-time, part-time or contractual basis. I'm generally looking to transition into a career that allows me to showcase my creative skills. Thanks for your time, and I look forward to chatting with you soon! Relevant Skills: 1. 12+ years of experience producing music on the Sony ACID Pro platform. 2. Proficient in the use of MIDI, audio editing software and sound mixing equipment. 3.

    When my wife and best friend of 10 years passed away suddenly in March of 2019 everything changed, seemingly things could not get worse. It was me and Big Balls Loki the Cat (yes that was his name) left behind to find out way. Well...two weeks later Big Balls Loki the Cat died suddenly as well. It was difficult but I pulled myself up from the depths of despair a few months later. It was then that I vowed to follow my passions, and live in a way that would make her proud. She always encouraged me to pursue a writing career, to cultivate my musical abilities, and to finally finish writing my book. Then the pandemic hit and everything changed again. I have spent my time wisely, I have used every resource I could find to enhance my writing skills and expand my knowledge of the craft. The thing about writing is that if I never share my words with anyone the world will never read them. I come to you now as a writer with very little actual professional experience but a myriad of incredible life experiences. My imagination and my natural ability to write is greatly enhanced by what I have learned along the way . I have been told that my writing skills are unrivaled and many are amazed at how many different styles of writing I am capable of. I can be as descriptive, interesting, and imaginative as you need me to be, or I can be clear, concise, and focused. I can persuade, describe, ponder, and enthrall your clients. I can write you a song, or a technically precise review. In any vernacular, from whatever perspective you need, directed towards current or perspective clients. Basically there isn't anyone with more potential, more ability, more imagination, and more desire than me. The only thing missing is actual relevant experience. If only I could include the pile of notebooks containing poems and songs that I have written over the years in my resume. I have a PhD from the School of Hard Knocks; but alas, that institution is not included in the drop-down menu for education. In the dawning era of AI driven everything, this is your chance to hire someone that is REAL. Someone with more insight, more heart, more imagination, more experience, and more ability to see the world (and actually touch it) than any stale, cold, and clinical AI program. I have an incredible work ethic and a keen sense of fairness. I truly believe that in this artificial digital age that the best thing you can do is: GO ANALOG. Please help me make my Wife proud by giving me a chance to write for you. I am as real as it gets, you will not be disappointed. (My Rates are negotiable, actual work experience,.and references available upon request) Thank You Brian D Spencer (spiker)
