Remote Game Music Composer

Role overview

This opportunity is for an experienced music composer to develop an original score for a 2D pixel-art game trailer with a Solarpunk-inspired world. The game concept blends the nostalgia of classic SNES-era adventures with a hopeful, futuristic atmosphere. Its story follows a threatened world where people come together to protect the balance between nature and technology.

The soundtrack should reflect ideas such as peaceful change, care for the planet, and the meeting point of organic and technological sounds. The trailer is being created as a proof of concept to test interest in the project and may help attract additional funding.

The ideal composer will contribute original ideas and adapt the music direction as needed, creating a sound that feels emotionally timeless while still leaning into modern synth-driven production. The reference point is not retro chiptune or 8/16-bit audio, so the music should avoid that style.

Deliverables

• Create and produce a fully original trailer soundtrack that supports the Solarpunk and action-RPG tone of the project.
• Work with the project owner to shape the musical direction and respond to feedback during the process.
• Submit polished audio files that are ready for trailer and demo presentation.
• Contribute creative ideas for the musical palette, combining classical warmth with futuristic textures.
• Complete all agreed deliverables within the planned timeline.

Requirements

• Background in composing music for video games, ideally for RPGs or indie titles.
• A portfolio that shows range across orchestral writing and electronic or synth-based compositions.
• 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 willingness to collaborate creatively.
• Ability to work remotely and adjust to flexible scheduling.
• Interest in inventive, hybrid soundtracks and music-led storytelling.
