Thanks for stopping by!
My name is Ian Shedd, and am a 20 year old composer. I became interested in composing my junior year of high school while playing clarinet in my school's wind ensemble and symphony orchestra. I appreciate all styles of music, but became attracted to video game and film soundtracks becuase of the way they emotionally involve the viewers. I am trying to learn to write in many different styles of music so I can find sounds to match any setting I may be eventually asked to write music for.

Why this name?
I like being called by my own name.

Used to, but I can't seem to get back into it.
