Reply To: ❄️❄️❄️ Happy Holidays From Peter / LinkedMusicians ❄️❄️❄️

Dear friends at Linked Musicians, wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a fantastic New Year.

2025 has brought major change to our industry—economic pressure and the rapid rise of AI have left many musicians feeling uncertain, and I’ve seen how that can sometimes turn into frustration.

As a sample library producer, I’ve felt these shifts firsthand. I joined Linked Musicians for the genuine people here, and I’m truly grateful to this community and to the platform’s founder—it’s great to see more colleagues joining too.

That said, I’ve been disappointed by political disputes that too often drain creativity and create unnecessary hostility. I believe it’s time to bring positive energy back, strengthen communication between developers and users, and make this a healthier space for everyone.

For 2026, my wish is simple: to hear new music from friends, clients, and fellow composers. I’m also open to initiatives that support composition—and while I can’t share details yet, I’m working on something that will bring great news to Cinematic Alpha.

A warm hug to you all, and to your families. Thank you for being here.

I’m a film composer and sound designer, and I love my job. I strive to give my best every day. If you need anything, you can reach me here on the forum or at andrew@cinematicalpha.com.
