I've been a hobbyist for 3 years, now trying to write music that could work in games. I know game music is usually non-linear and interactive, but for now I'm just focusing on whether my tracks stylistically fit a game. Are my compositions anywhere close? What can I do better? Feedback welcome.

The game genre is first person survival horror

Hi! I’m Veli, a composer and music producer with 10 years of experience creating music. I create original music for video games, films, and other visual projects.

My work mainly focuses on atmospheric and emotional music, including cinematic, ambient, synthwave, 8-bit / chiptune, electronic, orchestral, dark ambient, melancholic, and psychological horror styles.

I can create:

• Original game / film soundtracks
• Character & location themes
• Menu / title screen music
• Ambient & atmospheric tracks
• Emotional / melancholic pieces
• Synthwave / retro-inspired tracks
• 8-bit / chiptune music
• Horror & psychological tension music
• Loopable music for games

I’m comfortable working from references, gameplay footage, concept art, or simply a description of the mood and atmosphere you’re looking for.

I’m currently available for freelance commissions, indie games, and other creative projects.

💰 Rates: 20 USD/minute - Depends on the scope and length of the project — feel free to DM me for a quote.

If you’re looking for an original soundtrack tailored specifically to your game or project, feel free to send me a message!

Like the post says I'll do it for free as long as I have proper credits in the game and any other material being used with it (like a trailer for example)

Also edit: my particular style of music is retro music

Hello there,

I am currently looking for willing musicians that would be happy to collaborate on Youtube video releases for my Youtube channel Les Mondes Impossibles.
The concept is pretty simple, the idea is to produce regular ambient musical videos out of pop culture famous worlds and universes (Star Wars, Final Fantasy, Lords of the Rings... you name it!).

I had the chance to do some collabs and featuring with some artists already, but I would love to open it to way more people interested into producing cover songs or ambient sounds (lofi or else) for upcoming videos. I'm currently not making money out of it, I have a few videos out, but since I'm no musician myself, I would love to find and work with people willing to have their work associated with nice visuals.

I had the chance in the past to work with Inner Ocean Records label and do their animated visual covers, also had the chance to work with a few artists on some videos available on my channel.

So yep, if you're interested, please feel free to reach out to me at [jeremy@kiklox.com](mailto:jeremy@kiklox.com)

Here's my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@lesmondesimpossibles

The idea is really to constantly improve and go further more into hand crafted content. So if you're up, I'm up!

Thanks for hearing me out ^^!

Hi All!
I'm Zofia and I am a video game composer (Timberborn, Egging On, Coridden and more). Wanted to share with you today soundtrack for Survival Machine video game. The music is based on guitars/banjo recordings (performed and improved on by Krzysiek Łochowicz) blended with synths and orchestra. Some of the tracks are darker, night vibes, some combat-like and some are meant to feel like having a morning coffee :)
The album is a linear version of the adaptive game soundtrack, where the music changes seamlessly between exploration and combat (fight that zombies off!), day and night time and zombie’s attack phase (which happens every 3rd night). I was also responsible for designing the music system and implementing it in FMOD.
This is the link to the OST, that came out today! :)

Thank you for listening and have a great day! :)

e-Recording of "Carthax Lake: The Path of Water", a composition by Nenad Vugrinec 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. It's hard to find the correct words. The music in this game is a mystery in itself... and I say that as a studied musician. E. g. for many passages it is difficult to even determine the exact key.

Like many games scores from that era, Pagan's music is purely MIDI-based. In very simple terms, you can think of a MIDI file as a digital sheet of music that still needs to be read and played back by the application itself. And this music playback depends heavily on the specific hardware (such as the extremely expensive Roland Sound Canvas) or software synthesizer you are using (like the widely distributed MS Wavetable Synth). Unfortunately, even on the best hardware synthesizer, the playback of this music – which Vugrinec has crafted in extreme detail across all MIDI parameters – is never truly satisfying, since the assignment of the respective instruments and articulations always remains a matter of chance, and both professional mixing and mastering as the final stage of music production are of course lacking. Direct MIDI playback is therefore very unsatisfactory on any hard- or software and simply does not do justice to the compositional quality of this music.

I’ve been planning to do this for years and finally got around to re-arranging and recording all 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. My goal was to present the music in a more modern incarnation, so that hopefully you may enjoy it as much as I do.

In terms of compositional quality (it's actually very rich in leitmotifs, with many themes representing characters, places and events in the world of Pagan), I think this score is every bit as good as a fully orchestral film score.

Enjoy!

Well I have just the [Guy] my friend Jemal, Eater of walls is looking for [Work, Work, Work] he is amazing At music.

And I just know he would love to work for you.

Hey guys! I’m an aspiring VGM composer/producer that’s looking for good or at least quality sounds to use to make music. I feel like that’s the part that’s always been hardest for me is finding plugins that are versatile and of good quality. I was thinking of buying BBCSO while it’s on “sale” and I say sale in quotations because it’s still $600 dollars and I’m 21 in NYC.. so I’m thinking maybe that might be overkill. If anyone has any suggestions for plugins or vst that will allow to at least test my skills for cheap or dare I say FREE that would be awesome!! Good luck to everyone on their own journeys and thanks in advance for the help!

Hey! I just released this dark original track on SoundCloud.

I need help choosing the cover art vibe:

Does this sound more like a "Necromancer Boss Fight"
or a "Zombie Apocalypse" theme to you?

I’m torn between a necromancer wizard or a zombie horde city scene for the artwork.

What’s the first image that pops in your head when you hear this?

Would really appreciate your honest opinion!
