Sent to chad, figured I’d copy it over here as well:

My name is Mike Albanese. I’m the percussionist, engineer and project manager for a video game music writing collective called Bit Brigade, based out of athens ga. I was reading kotaku today and stumbled upon an article on Archon Classic and I got way, way excited. I mean really, decisively excited. I was an archon freakoid back in amiga-times (for my money still the best version of the original) … and I think archon classic would be an absolutely -ideal- fit for what we do. We have done several extremely successful remixes of classic 8-bit music (usually performed in a live venue, while our master gamer plows through the game) … and have recently made the jump to formally scoring games. We would -love- to work with react in any capacity on the archon project. As we are very much still building up our reel, compensation is a vastly lower priority than getting to work on relevant projects that we can really excel and showcase our very much not-typical-metal-guitar-redux take on game music remixes. We have some video footage up at http://www.bitbrigade.com … and would jump at the opportunity to put together some music on spec for you guys if you are remotely interested.

Hello, My name is Aaron Anderson, I am a concept artist for a independent game studio in Utah. I am currently looking for a better opportunity I came across your site and have a desire to be apart of your team. I currently won the Illustrators of the future contest in California for 2008. I am very passionate about art and illustration particularly character, vehicle and environment design. I do know how to use a little of Maya and can animate a little, but my strength lies in concept art.

Please look over my Gallery : http://afacefolio.blogspot.com/
let me know if you want me to attach my resume and a letter of recommendation
Thank you,

Aaron Anderson.
