Ólafur Helgi Kolbeinsson // Elektrobear
Bio:
As a gaming enthusiast, it was only a matter of time until I'd stumble into the world of game creation. And that's where I've spent the last few years, toiling about in the dark depths known as Playerworlds, and later Xtremeworlds. There were some attempts to rise above the rubble but it all came crashing down pretty soon. Looking back at those failures I certainly don't regret them as it allowed me to pick up a few minor skills in different areas.
My life has always been filled with music. My dad is a musician, as was my Grandfather. I learned how to play the piano at a young age and consider myself a novice drummer and a guitar enthusiast. Last summer I acquired FL Studio. I had dabbled in music from time to time, but had never created anything tangible. From there on it's been a fun ride. I've improved immensely over the last few months and I am about to release my second album on the internet for free. Going to be spending the summer working for my granddad, which allows me access to his little homestudio, which should be fun.
Seeking:
I don't prefer one genre over another. Also I'd be working for free. Getting payed is just a bonus in my eyes.
Skills:
I'm most adept at creating ambient electronic music and soothing piano pieces. I am however always willing to experiment and try something new!
Programs/formats:
I use Fruity Loops Studio.
My main work is in mp3s although I am interested in exploring midi creation.
Samples:

Reaching me on those two would be best because I'm not going to be refreshing this post like a crazy person(might pop in to have a check now and then though)
