Daniel Alejandro Salazar De Ortiz
I'm a music composer and studied music at Texas A & M Kingsville and Texas A&M International University where I began writing films scores for short student films. Nothing long mainly between 1-10 minutes long and I have written for about 13 films thus far. They have mainly been dark films and I was starting to get known as the go to composer for dark films. So I slowly faded away from film scoring into more contemporary music, but in early January I was presented the opportunity to write for this movie "Beyond The Myst" because it will be my second full orchestral score and it presents me a great challenge in that it is a full production and having to write for numerous characters and build a world with the music and that it changes alot of moods so I will be able to get out of my comfort zone of just pure dark . This will allow me to create something a with a bit of dark, light, magical ,and majestic. I am really looking forward to this.
