Hey Chris, This is the first time I listened to your music, and it's awesome! I found it through this post on Gizmodo: http://gizmodo.com/5934188/fujifilm-x+pro1-review-serious-style-serious-price
It's the soundtrack on the video clip.
Thanks for making such good music!
I made an FMA account just to tell you this.

Chris, I sent you an e-mail with this info, but wanted to say something here as well. I used Chris's song "There's Probably No Time" in a video on LiveLeak. The video has over 50k views, and has been shared over 600 times. Everyone loves your song, as do I. Thanks for making your music available to us, and I hope my video gives you the exposure you deserve.

Hey Chris,
Wanted to let you know I used three of your pieces for a short horror film I made with the kids in my after school class this Fall. Thanks for making (and providing on FMA) such beautiful work! Here's the film, hope you enjoy it. https://vimeo.com/80344909

Hey Chris! Your music is great, and it's always in the rotation as background music in my Minecraft live streams (with attribution, of course)--http://www.twitch.tv/sarahbelham

Thanks for being so generous with your talent, I really appreciate it.

Hello Chris, thank you for creating and sharing such a inspiring music!

I found in your music the mood i was looking for to make this short video to celebrate 'International Dance Day'

Cuatroxcuatro is the name of our dance company in Mexico.

All the best!!

Chris, I enjoyed listening to your cues. I'm cutting a new reel of my work, and used your excellent track "Air Hockey Saloon" in the short teaser, viewable here with an on-screen credit to you. Thank you.

Hello!

I've just completed my book trailer using Cylinder 5 and Prelude No 23 as background music. The results were awesome! I hope I've done the attribution correctly, I used the links supplied and placed them as close to the video as possible:

http://nekesaoumanamulu.com/#books

For the Youtube video it was a tad trickier because they don't allow html. I simply stated that the music was done by yourself, and placed a link with the names of the tracks back to here. I hope this is correct:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ2xrG5VQGI

Brilliant, brilliant work! Have thrown something (small!) in the tip box...no way commensurate with the quality of your work.

Much appreciated!

P.S. Great titles to your tracks as well.
