My name is Phillip Gross, and I am a musician, composer and sound designer. I am of German origin but living in Palma de Mallorca with extensive experience in composing films, series, video games and commercials.

I'm Zane Little, a dedicated composer specialized in crafting royalty-free music for video games. My experience covers a broad spectrum of projects, equipping me with a diverse set of skills perfect for any musical challenge. Passionate about music creation, I've developed a comprehensive catalog of top-notch, royalty-free video game music. Each track is designed to capture the unique energy and emotion of the gaming experience, from intense battles to serene exploration.

Sometimes, all you really need is a pause. No plans, no rush, no pressure to be anywhere else. Just you, a quiet spot, and the sound of a wave slowly rolling to shore.

Over the last two decades, multi-instrumentalist Monk Turner has written and produced over 30 genre-defying concept albums. He’s been called “both daring and melodically gifted” by Music Connection Magazine for his unique approach to songwriting that takes influence from artists such as Elvis Costello, The Beatles, and They Might Be Giants. Though his most releases have been true solo endeavors, he’s also collaborated with musicians who share his passion for creating freeform music. Turner's composition with Fascinoma won a competition held by radio station WFMU and the Free Music Archive for an alternative version of the popular “Happy Birthday to You,” entitled, “It’s Your Birthday!” In addition to his prolific catalog, his songs have been featured in movies, television programs and advertisements. The track “Judicious Jason” from Instrumental Friends Part 3 broke a Guinness World Record when 2,231 students did the largest choreographed ribbon dance to it.

Je m'appelle Florent Peduzzi et je suis né et vis à Dijon, en France. Je suis fasciné par la musique depuis toujours, aussi loin que je puisse me souvenir, j'ai toujours aimé la musique en tout genre et ce depuis que j'ai 3 ou 4 ans. Je ne joue principalement que du piano, violons et autres accompagnements, genre basse, ou trompète dans l'ensemble de toutes mes pièces, dans un style toujours aérien.

The Birth of OdysseyQ Elements: A Journey of Sound and Soul. Before there was OdysseyQ Elements, there were just two artists—me (Lxdge) and Loover—driven by a shared love for music and storytelling. Our journey began with casual freestyle sessions, experimenting with melodies and rhythms, but we soon realized we had something special. Our sound wasn’t just beats and lyrics; it was an expression of culture, energy, and emotion. - OdysseyQ Elements
