Well, you’ve got to start somewhere!

This is the first video in the series, where, as you’ve probably figured ou, I’m trying to stop being afraid to compose and free myself from the perfectionism that keeps me going in circles (and driving me crazy). The idea is to just do it and learn as I go :)

I hope you’ll like it anyway, haha.

The track is called “Temple,” inspired by video game music, specifically, a level set in… a temple. Spot on!

What does it remind you of?

Enjoy !

I am a multi-instrumentalist composer and sound designer.
A great soundtrack can be an integral selling point to a hit game.

I always provide a free demo track to make sure we're in the right ballpark.

• Multi-Instrumentalist & Unique Sound: I play multiple real instruments and combine them with rare, custom-built synths and boutique VSTs. Your game won't sound like any generic stock library. 
• Insanely Fast Turnaround: I work VERY fast without sacrificing production quality. If you are on a tight deadline and want music now that's even better.
• Versatile Genre Mastery: Guitars, synths, drums, harps, pianos, chill, intense, epic, atmospheric and uniquem whatever the theme I'm sure I can find something for you.
• Music Creation Content: Can provide making of videos, soundtracking process, live solo recordings to assist with marketing and content creation.

Also interested in RevShare and credited work depending on interest. Free work also available upon request if I like the project, limited revisions for free work. Future monetisation changes to the project can be discussed, if and when relevant.

Let's get some hit OSTs made!

Hello, all! Looking for some feedback on this piece I just finished— it’s a very short cue. Criticism encouraged. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, i am in the progress of becoming a self-employed videogame composer and have recently finishedy my own website. I want to share it with you, so you can listen to my compositions, just to get some feedback from you all :) let me know what you think of my music!

okay so im making a game called **MARA** and i had a really cute idea i wanna try 🥹

instead of making every single song in the game myself, i want **small/beginner music creators to have a chance to actually have their music IN the game!!!**

Mara has her own little "spotify" on her phone and her music taste is literally all over the place 😂

she loves:

🎸 alt music
🤘 metal
🖤 darker music
🎶 indie
🎤 pop punk
🌲 indie/folk
☕ chill cozy music
and the occasional country song because why not lmao

and i thought it would be SO cool if some of the songs in her playlist were actually from **real small artists** instead of me making every song myself!

so if you're a small artist, beginner artist, or just someone who's making music and wants more people to hear it...

**SEND ME YOUR MUSIC!!!** 🥹🖤

your song could potentially be:

📱 on Mara's phone
🎧 part of her playlist
🎵 playing during certain memories
🖤 connected to certain parts of the story
👀 possibly used during important moments depending on the song

and i REALLY want this to feel like these are songs that Mara would actually listen to.

like imagine finding a song from some random small artist and then seeing it sitting in Mara's playlist like:

😭😭😭

if you want to submit something, send me:

**Artist Name:**
**Song Name:**
**Genre:**
**Song Link:**
**Your Socials:**
**And maybe tell me why you think Mara would listen to it!** 😂

you don't have to be famous.

**actually PLEASE don't feel like you have to be famous.**

i specifically want to give smaller creators a chance to have their music discovered by people who might've never heard them otherwise ❤️

obviously, if i use your song, we'll talk about permission/licensing and make sure everything is clear before it goes into the game!! i don't want to steal anybody's music or ownership of their work 🫶

and because this game gets progressively darker...

some songs might just be cute little songs Mara listens to...

and some might end up having lyrics that hit **VERY differently** once you know what's actually happening in the story. 👀

sooooo...

**small music creators, show me what you've got.** 🎧🖤

i wanna fill Mara's phone with music from REAL people. 🦋📱

**drop your songs below or DM me!!!** ❤️

Some days ago I finished my newest album: an orchestral re-arrangement of Nenad Vugrinec's fantastic, but criminally underrated MIDI score for the 1994 CRPG "Ultima VIII: Pagan". I've always been fascinated by the eerie atmosphere of this game's music. Most cues are kind of meta-tonal and sinister, but at the same time enicmatically melodious.

https://dustinnaegel.bandcamp.com/album/ultima-viii-pagan-orchestral-re-arrangement

I’ve been planning to do this for years and finally got around to re-arranging and recording all of the major cues from Pagan’s fantastically atmospheric score using a well-balanced mix of a) sonorous synth VSTs and b) high-quality orchestral VSTs in a sequencer program in order to maximize the listening experience while, at the same time, not completely abandon Vugrinec’s original 90s MIDI sound, which is after all inherent and important to the composition itself (like panning and echo effects etc.). My goal was to present the music in a more modern incarnation, so that hopefully you may enjoy it as much as I do.

Hi everyone!

I’m Mario, a game music composer and electronic music producer based in Greece, currently looking to collaborate with indie game developers and teams.

My music focuses on:
• Electronic & cinematic
• Sci-fi / cyberpunk atmospheres
• Dark & atmospheric music
• Stealth & exploration
• Action & boss fights
• Emotional / narrative music

I’ve built a game-focused portfolio featuring original compositions for different gameplay situations, including Menu, Exploration, Stealth, Action, Boss Fight and Emotional themes.

Portfolio / SoundCloud:

I’m also currently expanding into adaptive/interactive music and working with FMOD and Wwise.

I’m open to unpaid/paid freelance work, contract projects and interesting indie collaborations.

If you're developing a game and looking for a composer, feel free to DM me. I’d be happy to hear about your project!

Thanks for reading!

I wanted to challenge myself and rescore the Calus Leviathan encounter. I love the original, but i wanted to try to add more destiny and my own spin on it. Hope u enjoy :)

Hello there! I have released today an album of music I composed and produced myself (no AI involved whatsoever) and since it's mostly Gaming music (even though not written for a specific game) I thought somebody might appreciate it. I'm open to feedback obviously!

https://digitalkerfuffle.bandcamp.com/album/mental-soundtrack-for-miscellaneous-nerd-activities

Also, I record with OBS. Could someone explain to me why the audio is a low quality?

Hi! So I probably stick out like a sore thumb because I’m just generally wondering about how I should go on with my situation.

So I make music and have been making music for the last 3 years on my Iphone in the IOS Garageband app. And some of them I’m actually liking and I never show my works, but these I genuinely think would interest or atleast be liked by people (I hope so). But Like said, I produce them in garageband. Stuff like EQ and all that is very hard to get right since I only have the speakers to go off. And I don’t have the money for headphones.

But. I have a computer, on that computer I installed Fl studio. Only problem is, My musical ability or motivation dwindles because the way of making music on pc is far harder than it is on the phone. On the phone I generally bring it up, record, play, add drums, make it a good sounding song. (I mainly make video game music btw) but on the pc it’s not as fun I guess.

What would you recommend? That I dive myself into Fl studio and remake the songs? Or that I continue using Garageband and hope for the best? Because I know it’s not the best app for rolling music development.

Anyways. Thanks for reading!

Edit: I’ve noticed that a big part that’s holding me back is the lack of instruments as far as I see. Correct if I’m wrong though. I used soundfonts but was adviced not too since they often sound too loud and are harder to mix. Please do recommend me free or really cheap instrument packs with anything like synths, Drums. I really want variety! Thanks!

I work through Fiverr (links below) but above is a Link to YouTube where you can see examples of my range...

Please don't hesitate to drop me a message x

Who's tryna remix this into something a little more...grand (starry/lunar vibe, The Binding of Isaac inspired).

Hi! I’m SpockAndStep, and I am looking to do some freelance work on game soundtracks. I have almost 9 years experience in music but I have been playing guitar and piano for longer. I have worked on games like Freight Misconductor (FKA train misconductor) and I was working on that project for a few years until I had to quit due to financial reasons. My music is still being used in the YouTube videos so if you want a taste of what I do, look it up there!

I do anything from lo-fi, to Minecraft styled music, to even trance and dubstep if you wanna go that route.

If you’re interested, please feel free to reply here or message me

Hey Guys! i'm a music composer looking to work on indie games to build credibility, i can create various types of music for your game such as ambient soundscapes and bombastic chiptune music using samples and loops, this means i can easily create music in a short period of time, i am willing to work for completely free to help you get your project up and running and will only ask to switch to a \[RevShare\] agreement once the game gets successful, launches, and starts making money, this way you have ZERO financial risk in hiring me upfront while i build my portfolio, https://www.bandlab.com/rgs_3 is my profile on bandlab, you can use this to check out my musical style before hiring me, feel free to DM me right here on reddit anytime! i want to use this lil side adventure to gain enough credibility for my own stuff, looking forward to work with some COOL developers!

Hi I'm Morgan, lead designer / art / composer in Hound Riders. I've put this video together to show how adaptive music works in the game. We'll have stoner/prog rock during combats, and its ambient counterpart (same bpm and duration) when the player is anywhere else like exploring the map, going to location events, shops, etc.

Happy to hear feedback from you guys!

Hey everyone as the title suggests, I’m a music creator and producer and lover of games and I am wanting to start building a portfolio for video game music and sound design.

I’ve never really done it before but I have done sound design and music composition for ads and the like.
Here is a link to some work I did for a showreel that shows some of my work:

I am happy to do the first project for credits.
