Remote Game Music Composer

This role is for a talented music composer to create an original soundtrack for a 2D pixel art game trailer with a Solarpunk theme. The project draws inspiration from classic SNES titles like Chrono Trigger, blending nostalgic visuals with a utopian, futuristic atmosphere. The narrative centers on a world at risk, where characters unite to preserve a hard-won balance between nature and technology. The music should evoke themes of tranquil revolution, planetary stewardship, and the fusion of organic and technological elements. The trailer will serve as a proof of concept to gauge market interest and potentially secure further funding. The ideal candidate will bring creative vision and adaptability, offering suggestions for a soundtrack that balances timeless, emotional resonance with a modern, synth-driven edge—avoiding chiptune or retro 8/16-bit sounds. This is a remote, freelance opportunity suited for a composer with a strong portfolio in game music.

Deliverables

• Compose and produce an original soundtrack for the game trailer, capturing the Solarpunk and action-RPG themes.
• Collaborate with the project owner to refine musical direction and integrate feedback.
• Deliver high-quality audio files suitable for trailer and demo use.
• Provide creative input on musical style, balancing classical and futuristic elements.
• Ensure all deliverables are completed within agreed timelines.

Requirements

• Proven experience composing music for video games, preferably in the RPG or indie game space.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating versatility in both orchestral and electronic/synth-based music.
• Ability to interpret narrative themes and translate them into compelling musical motifs.
• Proficiency with digital audio workstations and virtual instruments.
• Excellent communication skills and openness to creative collaboration.
• Availability for remote work and flexible scheduling.
• Passion for innovative, genre-blending soundtracks and storytelling through music.
