Music Composer for 2D Pixel Art Game Trailer
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.
