I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;m not special, I bet anyone who makes indie games, and who has the budget to actually pay people to make music gets the same number of CV&#8217;s and emails sent to them as I do. generally speaking I try to reply to everyone who emails me, regardless what it is about (unless it&#8217;s yet more justifications of piracy &#8211; I&#8217;ve read enough now thanks).
