Hi there, I'm Janne, and I've worked as a composer for 20 years, and the last 10 years as a freelance media composer. I've written music for games, short films, TV shows and other media. Lately I've worked mainly with custom commissions, but I've released game music packs and done a ton of production music in the past as well. I'm currently looking for paid projects and up to all kinds of challenges. Cinematic music (orchestral, and spiced up with synths and other sound design) is my forte, but I can handle most of the stuff you can throw at me, and will honestly tell if I'm not the composer you're looking for. I'm fast and reliable, and never missed a deadline. My equipment is up to the task, so quality will not be an issue - you can verify this yourself from my portfolio. Having a decent amount of experience on your belt does come with benefits. I'm familiar with game development in Unity and I know my way around FMOD, so I can handle the implementation as well if need be. If you have a project you'd like me to write music for, reach out and let's talk!

I’m currently adding some final touches to a medieval/fantasy themed game music pack. Next up is doing some orchestrations for a progressive metal album that’s coming out later this year. Haven’t done that in a while, but challenges are always welcome!

I have an open slot for one game project starting from mid June, so if you're looking for perfectly fitting music for your game, shoot me a message! ------------------- There's also a couple announcements to make. First of all the Medieval Fantasy Game Music Pack has finally been released in Unity Asset Store (quite a queue they had!) and can be reached from this link: Medieval Fantasy Game Music Pack @ Unity Asset StoreThat being said, there's another game music pack out called 8-bit Action Game Music Pack, currently available at itch.io and GameDevMarket, but coming to Unity as well. It's a smaller, more affordable package so those waiting for it to pop up at Unreal Marketplace are out of luck, I'm afraid! 8-bit Action Game Music PackGameDevMarketItch.ioCheers!

I have an opening in my schedule from the beginning of July, shoot me a message if you want to hire me! -------------- The 8-bit Action Game Music Pack has also been released in Unity Asset Store. You can reach it via this link. I also honed my electronic music production chops and created a new music pack in that style, titled Race On! Game Music Pack. Six tracks aimed mainly at racing games, but suitable for other genres as well. Race On! Game Music PackGameDevMarketItch.io

L'Oeil Blanc, a game developed by the French studio No Visual Games and a game that I wrote the original soundtrack for was released today on iOS and Android. Links to Google Play and App Store can be found from the game's website: https://oeilblanc.fr/L'Oeil Blanc is a first-person adventure game set in a medieval world filled with magic, where the player takes on the role of Aden, an individual devoid of his vision. It is a 100% audio game with no visuals, and players act based on sound. It was an honour to work with No Visual Games and to participate in something that will make gaming more accessible, so that more and more people are able to enjoy the fantastic world of games. This was also one of the most exciting projects I have ever done, as the style required was so close to home and working with the team was top-notch despite the game being in French and me speaking virtually none of it. Profanities don't count :grin: It will be available on streaming services in the near future as soon as the distributor gets it done, but for now it's available at Bandcamp and YouTube: https://skyhammersound.bandcamp.com/album/loeil-blanc-original-game-soundtrackMy work with the French studio continues for the next chapter, but I have some openings in my calendar in the last quarter - hit me up!

Here's an original composition I created for the The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild music overhaul mod Bards of the Wild, organized by VGM Lounge.
This piece of music plays when the player first discovers the Master Sword and has a nice little chat with the good ol' Deku Tree - hence the name for the track.

This time around I reached for Japanese games and composers for inspiration, I've always loved their use of harmony and focus on great melodies.

Here's a new orchestral cover that I made. This time I'm recreating a theme from one of my childhood favorites, Secret of Mana. The game had such a lasting impact on me, being wonderfully weird and captivating.

April brought in a new commission for an upcoming JRPG game, and as that was fulfilled yesterday I'm again open for new projects. I've updated my Wavekit playlist with recent stuff to better express the variety of genres that I write in: https://play.wavekit.app/share/playlist/Qmg0Dr0e00

Cinematic Fantasy Game Music Pack was the very first game music pack that I ever created, and for a while now I've wanted to get back to it to improve some of the themes and add new content to it. Now felt like a good time, and so I present to you the new and vastly upgraded Cinematic Fantasy Game Music Pack 2.0. In the end I ended up almost doubling the amount of content available, it's got themes for different levels or areas, different situations, different emotions. It's available in itch.io with an 30% off intro sale from the following link: https://itch.io/s/123524/cinematic-fantasy-20-intro-price
