About Me (Must include at least one paragraph of biographical information about you as a composer) - blank or minimal answers on this line will cause your request to be rejected. Include a link to your website if you have one.
Jimmy Hinson (that's me), also known to many as Big Giant Circles, is a music composer, a gamer, and a staff member of OverClocked ReMix. A recent addition to the Wall of Sound music team (http://wallofsoundinc.com), Jimmy co-composed the score to BioWare’s blockbuster sci-fi epic title Mass Effect 2 with Sam Hulick, David Kates, and Brian DiDomenico under the direction of lead composer Jack Wall. Prior to that, he has composed for a variety of media, including television, video games, film, and radio. His custom music has been heard on various television networks including Fox, Animal Planet, HGTV, and others, underscoring such shows as Design Star, Showdown, HGTV Challenge, and many more. Jimmy has also arranged music for Capcom’s Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix on XBox Live and PlayStation Network. He has written scores featured in various film and game trailers and licensed music for production music libraries. As one of the few game composers in the industry who extensively uses FL Studio, Image-Line appointed him as one of their few "Power Users" along the ranks of names like Justin Lassen, Basshunter, Mike Oldfield, and DeadMau5.
Jimmy admits that it’s a bit weird to talk in the third person and he will now stop. I currently live in Knoxville, TN with my wife. In my off time, I enjoy jamming with my band Latitude 35 (latitude-35.com), playing games, killing zombies, travel, good food, running, and remixing classic video game music, most of which is featured on OverClocked ReMix (ocremix.org). I love cheese and peanut butter, but not necessarily in the same bite. Also, there is virtually no food that is not improved by freshly ground black pepper.

Hand Over Fist is one of those pieces that every writer has: I think it's great, but can't generate a lick of interest in it anywhere. 'Know what I mean? So thanks for the kind words.
Some crazy talent on this forum. Your tunes blow my mind, the way you mix electronic and orchestral instuments so naturally and effortlessly together. I especially love Far Beyond Eyes. Truly inspiring music!
I consider that a huge compliment. I may be 59 years old but I still love playing Final Fantasy.
Really really nice stuff
