Musician

[Musician submissions are now closed early due to the volume of responses. Thank you to everyone who submitted — I’m currently reviewing the existing auditions and reaching out to selected composers.]

-------------------------

I’m looking for a composer / music producer to help establish the musical identity of My Teacher Is a Witch.

Ideally, I would love to commission a recognizable main theme or title theme for the series, but I’m also open to something that functions more as a reusable recurring theme or musical motif that can be used throughout episodes and promotional material.

The overall tone I’m looking for is mysterious, mischievous, slightly melancholic, and witchy, without becoming generic horror music. I especially like the use of chimes, bells, light percussion, piano, and unusual small instrumental textures that can make something feel playful and unsettling at the same time.

Reference tracks:
I like the eerie, melancholic atmosphere and delicate chime/piano textures of Dexter’s “Blood Theme,” while I also enjoy the unusual instrumentation and mischievous energy of the Dexter Main Title. I’m not looking for an imitation of either track — these are just references for the kind of musical personality and texture I’m drawn to. If you think a different direction would fit the series better, I’d love to hear your approach.

For auditions/applications, I do not expect anyone to compose a custom sample for free. Instead, please link a few examples from your existing portfolio that you think are relevant, and if possible, include a short note describing the direction you would take for My Teacher Is a Witch if hired.

Things that would be helpful to mention:

• What instruments or sounds you would use

• Whether you imagine it as playful, eerie, melancholic, whimsical, or something else

• Whether you would approach it as a main title theme, recurring character/theme motif, or broader score

• Any ideas you have for giving the series a recognizable musical identity

If the pilot works out, I would also be interested in potentially working with the selected composer again for future episode scoring, recurring themes, character motifs, and additional original music, with payment increasing depending on the scope of future work.

I’m looking for someone who can bring their own creative instincts to the project rather than simply recreate a reference track.
