Alex Shields
My name is Alex Shields. I'm composing music as a hobby. The genres are a bit limited in the fact that I'd like to just choose "unique metal" as a genre for my metal songs and "unique classical" for my classical songs. All of my songs are composed, played, and recorded on computer. For the sound of the music, I'm aiming for originality primarily, and I want to have fun listening to my own stuff.
Feel free to download any songs. Send me a message to let me know what you think.
