Hey Xavier, thanks for reaching out and sharing your work!

I really enjoyed listening through your portfolio. Before moving forward, I just wanted to clarify that DDR is currently a volunteer/deferred project, so payment can’t be guaranteed at this stage.

I also wanted to ask about your approach to the soundtrack. I’m aiming for a more organic, cinematic sound with orchestral elements, ambient textures, and subtle sound design, rather than an electronic style.

Would you be comfortable working within that direction?

Thanks again, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

    Hello, CrackingGears! Thanks for listening to my work. I'd do my best as the more organic and less electronic stuff is a little bit out of my comfort zone, but seeing that this volunteer work and not paid, unfortunately I probably won't be able to fit this into my schedule now. I'm sorry if this comes off as a disappointment, and feel free to give the role to someone else. Good luck with the project!

The Deep Dark: Resonance is looking for composers to help create the musical identity of the series.

I'm looking for composers who can create memorable themes that support character moments, mysteries, and cinematic sequences.

Composers may work on:

  • Atmospheric and ambient pieces

  • Mystery and suspense themes

  • Emotional character moments

  • Cinematic/action sequences

  • Character or location themes

The musical direction of DDR focuses on an emotional and cinematic sound, with an emphasis on organic instrumentation, ambient textures, piano, orchestral elements, and atmospheric soundscapes. The goal is to create music that feels human, mysterious, and connected to the world and characters.

You will be provided with:

  • Scene context and story details

  • Visual references and rough cuts where available

  • Musical references to help communicate the intended feeling

  • Creative direction while allowing room for your own interpretation

Experience with orchestral, cinematic, ambient, or film/game-inspired music is preferred. Unique styles and creative approaches are welcome, as long as they can adapt to the emotional identity of the series.

AI-generated music is not accepted. All submitted music must be original work created by the composer.

Payment & Credits:

Composers are welcome to include their work from the project in their portfolio/showreel after the relevant content has been publicly released!
