music for the blind

home :: music :: contact :: requests :: perfection

Hello, my name is Iain and I make generally electronic music to requests.

Send me a request from the requests page with an idea/lyric/skeleton (be as vague or as specific as you like) and if you offer money or I like the idea and think I can do it reasonably easily, I will.

I could also perform and/or record songs you have written or add backing tracks or other layers to any stems you may have recorded.

Basically, it's Songs to Wear Pants to but more apologetic (and considerably less profitable).

I already get too many requests to consider so if you pay me or ply me with gifts you can make me do whatever you want (within limits - I won't do anything illegal and I won't publish explicit or offensive material). Given the current rate at which I recieve paid requests, offering money pretty much guarantees that I'll make your tune.

If you're just feeling really friendly, you might want to just donate without even asking for something in return. :3

New music ahoy! New request here, some other stuff here.

Sorry for the massive pauses, I promise, I am working on things. Expect a whole bunch of tunes at once later next year.
I will try to get some requests done in the mean time, but I'm pretty buried in uni stuff at the moment.

The reason I'm alive asked me to make another song.

I've been slipping out of sync.

Okay, so Music for the Blind's been running for about a year and a half now and and in that time I have been assuming I wanted to be family friendly without really considering the alternatives.
Recently, however, I have been questioning the logic of this, especially if it's an unpublished rule. Of course, being offensive for the sake of being offensive is pointless, but surely there is something to be gained from taking advantage of every nuance of the language we speak or covering subject matter in as broad a range as possible. On the other hand, there are things that people will be offended by regardless of context.
So, I put it to you, dear listener - keeping in mind that straight-up swearing is probably off the table regardless, should I remain family-friendly or should I not shy away from occasionally posting things with less than tasteful subject matter?
Full disclosure - that's a Lily Allen cover.
Email or tweet at me with your thoughts.
