We are looking for someone to create background music for our skit. It doesn't have to be particularly intricate (in fact it would likely be better simple/plain considering that it will be covered for the majority of the time by voice acting), but we are hoping to add a level of polish/professionalism to the skit through music.

We will be looking for background music that spans from 160 to 180 seconds (3 minutes). All of the music we’d like to be Chinese inspired as that is the skit's setting and origin of the source material (this inspiration doesn't have to be particularly strong, doing something like using a couple traditionally Chinese instruments would be enough to sell the idea).

The tone of the music would have 4 stages with somewhat specific but up to interpretation bridges/transitions between:

1. The first 35 seconds would be dramatic and low-toned (imagine as if Firelord Ozai from Avatar the Last Airbender wanted to have musicians play background music for him as he threatened visitors). It would have a sudden cut-off or final thump at the end.

                          1.5 There would be silence for the next 10 seconds, then a short 2 second transitional sound that leads into the next section (up to interpretation, preferably something vaguely sci-fi/modern. The skit is based off of an isekai so this is the “woops you died off you get transported to a fantasy realm” part)

1. The second musical part is the longest at 1 minute and 30 seconds. This part would be comedic and upbeat yet still a bit soft/light (image: light plink plunks on a stringed instrument vs loud circus-like kazoos). It would also have a sudden cut-off at the very end, in a place that is uncomfortable/sounds unexpected.

1. After 2-3 seconds of tense silence, the final musical part would begin. Taking the previous music (#3) and making it slower/in a minor key/etc would work well, but you're the expert so however you'd like to represent the feeling would work. This would last for 15 seconds, then end on a long held-out tense note that lasts about 3-4 seconds before stopping.

The music would be what the voice acting clips are placed onto, so there is some leeway in timing to fit your vision. Each of these parts can be extended by a bit, but the max time allowed for the competition is 3 minutes flat so that would be the absolute limit.
