Job description
Role overview
We are looking for a skilled music composer to craft an original score for a 2D pixel-art game trailer built around a Solarpunk setting. The project takes cues from beloved SNES-era adventures such as Chrono Trigger, but the mood should feel fresh, hopeful, and forward-looking rather than retro. The story follows a world in danger, where characters come together to protect the fragile harmony between nature and technology.
The soundtrack should express ideas such as peaceful resistance, care for the planet, and the blending of organic and mechanical elements. The trailer is intended as a proof of concept to test audience interest and may help attract future funding. We are seeking someone with a strong game-music portfolio, creative instincts, and the flexibility to propose musical ideas that combine emotional depth with a modern synth-led sound. Chiptune and old-school 8/16-bit styling should be avoided.
Key deliverables
- Create and produce an original soundtrack for the trailer that reflects the Solarpunk and action-RPG tone.
- Work closely with the project owner to shape the musical direction and incorporate feedback.
- Provide polished audio files ready for use in the trailer and demo materials.
- Contribute creative ideas that blend classical and futuristic influences.
- Complete all assigned work within the agreed schedule.
Requirements
- Demonstrated background in composing music for video games, ideally for RPGs or indie titles.
- A portfolio that shows range across orchestral arrangements and electronic or synth-based compositions.
- Ability to read a story or theme and turn it into memorable musical motifs.
- Comfort using digital audio workstations and virtual instruments.
- Strong communication skills and a willingness to collaborate creatively.
- Ability to work remotely with a flexible timetable.
- Interest in imaginative, genre-crossing soundtracks and musical storytelling.
