(Please listen to the animatic to get the idea of the soundtrack I would like to go for before continuing!)


I'm looking for someone to compose a piece of music that fits the story of my 3-minute film (+ a bit more time for credits). I would like no vocals in the music, unless it is being treated as an additional sound effect. The very beginning of the film music is similar to the end, very sparkly but gentle and slower. Then, the next part of the film during the store sequence is very repetitive and calm--the music genre I have in the animatic is similar to a "vaporwave" style, but you can play around with it as long as it fits with the second half of the film. As she runs, the music will ramp up in tension and transition to something a lot more upbeat and bubbly. The style I'm looking for is called "Kawaii Future Bass", where it has hints of sparkles and has a very hopeful tone. Although I have a preference for this style, I am open to other options as long as it has the same magical and sparkly feeling. (I have listed an alternative idea as the last example on the list.) 


Here are some examples that fit this style:

Snail's House - Imaginary Express (Official MV)

Mermaidcorn surprise Canada

Snail's House - Pixel Galaxy (Official MV)

As I am only able to give the exact timing after I am done rough animation (including music for credits), you can use the animatic as a rough estimate on how long the soundtrack will be, but I will ask you to adjust to the final timing when rough animation is done. 


The deadline for the final music track will be around mid-late February (The date is TBD but I will try to figure it out as soon as possible), as I would like to allow for time to edit and composite everything together.  


As this is a student film, I am quite tight on budget but am willing to provide however much I can as this is a very important component of the film. If you have certain rates I am happy to discuss this with you prior. 


Please include links to your work, and though this is not required, preferably with pieces that fit the style of music that I am seeking for. However, having the ability to and being willing to recreate the style is very important.
