High quality music for games

Postby espenmusic » 01 Dec 2010, 10:02

Hi people

I am looking for some interesting projects to work on!
I am an experienced composer, that has worked primarily for screen based projects.

Visit my site for samples.

However you do realise that most (well, probably all) projects here will be looking for free music, preferrably open source too, and as such will not be paying work?

Also under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license?

And if so then do you think OD is a quality project? If so welcome aboard :)

Well, i would be interested in hearing about OD, especially if there are any specific thoughts on application of music to it.
And yeah, i could license under CC, if there where some interesting work to be done.

You can start by browsing the wiki, read the story (two links) behind the game, which is still a work in progress, look at the screenshots, the videos and try the game (alpha build).

By the way the music you have on your webpage (the track undead) sounds really good with allot of mood and drama :)

The only direction we have for the music right now is the music from the old Dungeon Keeper, but we want something new, but feel free to get some inspiration from the old music :)

Hey, judging by the style of the game, type of gameplay etc, you would be well off with something not too eccentric i think.
A subtle mix of of some darkish minimalistic ambience, with hints of melodic motifs should be in good taste, obviously more dynamics should be applied, but overall esthetic of the music shouldn"t be too attention grabbing.

Who has moved this thread here? The artist asks for projects and just because OD shows an interest does NOT mean the thread should get moved here.

This thread has always been in the OD sub-forum as far as I was aware?

I apologise for the knee-jerk reaction. I could have sworn the thread was started in the General or Assets forums.
