Question 1

What kind of music do you compose?

Accepted Answer

I specialise in music for games, across a wide range of genres. I enjoy working with a broad range of styles and instrumentation and have a VST (virtual instrument) library with thousands of instruments, synths and sounds to draw from. I adapt my style to fit each project! I actively enjoy working on new styles so don't worry if you think your game is "unusual". I actually love the process of creating the right sound for projects that might seem very "niche" at first.

Question 2

What types of projects do you work on?

Accepted Answer

I mainly work with indie developers and small teams, including:

Video games
Game trailers and announcements
Prototypes and vertical slices
Passion projects and student games

If you are unsure whether your project fits, feel free to reach out.

Question 3

How does the process work?

Accepted Answer

Once you get in touch, we will start with a short brief to understand your game, vision, and musical needs.

From there:

I create an initial concept or sketch
We refine it based on your feedback
I develop the final track(s)
Delivery in the formats you need for your game
Assistance with integration via WWise or other engine.

The process is collaborative, and adapts based on your game and vision.

Question 4

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on the scope of the project, including number of tracks, complexity, deadlines, etc.

I offer flexible pricing for indie developers and smaller teams, so the best way to get an accurate quote is to reach out with some details about your project.

Question 5

Do you offer revisions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Revisions are a core part of the process. We'll work together to make sure the music and design design achieve the vision you're looking for.

It's normal and common for there to be several rounds of revisions, often at multiple stages. Your feedback is essential to the work I do being the best it can be.

Question 6

How long does it take to create a track?

Accepted Answer

This depends on complexity, but as a general guide:

Short or simple tracks may take a few days
More detailed pieces can take one to two weeks

We will agree on timelines upfront so everything is clear.

Question 7

Can you match an existing style or reference track?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. References are incredibly helpful and usually a core part of the process.

Whether you want something inspired by a specific game, mood, or genre, I use references to guide the direction while still creating something completely original for your project.

Question 8

Do you create adaptive or loopable game music?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I can design music that loops seamlessly and fits game systems, including:

Loopable tracks
Layered music
Basic adaptive structures

If your game requires more advanced implementation, we can discuss that too!

Question 9

What if I've never worked with a composer before?

Accepted Answer

I often work with developers who have never worked with composers before, or teams and devs working on their very first game - so don't worry. I'm here to guide you through each step of the process as needed if you are unsure.

If you don't know what you want your game to sound like yet, or just feel stuck with this element of game development I'm happy to help. But I also recommend checking out my blog on this topic here.

Question 10

Who owns the music?

Accepted Answer

This depends on what we agree upfront. Typically, I offer licences tailored to your project so you can use the music in your game and marketing. Full buyouts can also be discussed if needed.

Question 11

Can you also create music for trailers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and this is something I really enjoy.

Trailer music is slightly different from in game music as it is more structured around pacing and impact, and I compose specifically with that in mind.

Question 12

What do you need from me to get started?

Accepted Answer

The more context, the better. Helpful things include:

A short description of your game
Gameplay footage or screenshots
References or inspiration
The emotional tone you are aiming for
Technical requirements if known

Do not worry if you do not have everything yet, we can figure it out together.

Question 13

My game is really unique/niche, can you still create music for it?

Accepted Answer

I honestly get this question all the time... yes! Actually, I love the process of finding the right sound for games that might seem "unique" or "weird" in terms of concept. Often these turn out the be the most fun and rewarding projects. So don't worry, regardless of how "unique" you think your game is... I want to chat!

Question 14

Do you use A.I. as part of your process?

Accepted Answer

No. I use no GenAI in any element of my creative or production process. Including mastering. Everything is written, composed, produced, arranged, mixed and mastered by me.
