Hi there, I’m Nate the Junco 
Through custom music composition, sound design, & implementation, I want to help you tell the story of your game as powerfully as possible <3
If you want your game to sound at once familiar and totally new, I’m your all-in-one audio person— I specialize in ASMR-type music, featuring ear-wormy melodies over lush, harmonically-fluid synth layers & complex rhythms. I blend tones from the transition of 16- to 32-bit (think snes, ps1, n64, dc, etc.) with popular techniques in composition and production.
I am open to working free of charge *until the project is generating revenue.*

Personal Bio:I’m a 31-y.o. former touring indie musician with a passion for collaborating to tell powerful stories through the combined visual-audio medium of games. I’m based in the Pacific Northwest, U.S.A., care deeply about social and environmental issues, and believe in the ability of games to change their players’ perspectives and compel action. I’m in the process of coming out to myself and my communities as bi- and neurodivergent. I'm also the solo developer of a project called Birding PNW, currently in beta, and downloadable on itch.
Peers say that I’m very thoughtful and easy to work with— if anything, I value over-communication for the sake of clarity.
