Job description
Role overview
We are looking for an imaginative composer to develop an original score for a 2D pixel-art game trailer with a Solarpunk mood. The project blends the spirit of classic SNES-era adventures with a hopeful, futuristic world built around the harmony of nature and technology.
The story follows a world in danger, where its characters come together to protect a fragile equilibrium between the natural and the technological. The soundtrack should support ideas such as peaceful resistance, guardianship of the planet, and the meeting point of organic and machine-made elements.
This trailer is intended as a proof of concept to test audience interest and may help attract additional funding for the game. The right composer will bring both artistic judgment and flexibility, and should be able to propose musical directions that feel emotionally rich and timeless while still sounding modern and synth-forward. The sound should not rely on chiptune or old-school 8-bit/16-bit aesthetics.
This is a remote freelance-style contract suited to someone with a strong background in game music composition.
Deliverables
- Create and produce an original soundtrack for the trailer, aligned with the Solarpunk and action-RPG tone.
- Work with the project owner to shape the musical direction and incorporate feedback.
- Provide polished audio files that can be used for the trailer and demo presentation.
- Contribute creative ideas for a score that combines classical warmth with futuristic textures.
- Complete all assigned work within the mutually agreed schedule.
Requirements
- Prior experience writing music for video games, ideally in RPG or indie titles.
- A portfolio that shows range across orchestral writing and electronic or synth-based production.
- Ability to understand story themes and turn them into memorable musical ideas.
- Comfort using digital audio workstations and virtual instruments.
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative working style.
- Availability to work remotely with flexible timing.
- Interest in inventive, cross-genre soundtracks and music-led storytelling.
