Hello,
My name is Jonathan. Together with my colleague Terry we are looking to
expand our team to include a
talented composer who can create the
soundtrack for an original
interactive story.
The game is a drama inspired by American television serials such as
Twin Peaks and
The X-Files. It puts an emphasis on
characters, theme and atmosphere rather than player skill. The story is delivered in an
unconventional, experimental style.
Critically
music will be at the forefront of the storytelling.
The soundtrack will have to complement the
unique tone and structure of the game and deliver its
emotional core.
The project is an opportunity for a musician to create music
unlike anything typically associated with games.
Our intention is to
complete a first act, of roughly 15 to 30 minutes length,
by mid-June.
This deadline is inflexible and should be factored into your availability when considering the role.
But by far the most important ask is that you are prepared to completely involve yourself in the project. We want you to be invested and to
feel like you can leave your mark on the game. Your music will be vital in honing the shape of the experience. And your
enthusiasm, insight and ability to iterate as we do will be invaluable.
We’re not looking for an outsourcer, but a
collaborator and team member to join our small and scrappy band.
If this interests you
please contact me right away. Feel free to ask any questions.
Thank you for your time!
