[PAID] Piano composer/arranger wanted to refine an indie game soundtrack

Hi! I’m developing Lumenwake, a story-driven bullet-hell game about a clockwork bird and a nightingale.

I’m looking for a composer/arranger to refine existing songs that were prototyped with AI compositions. your job would be improving the melodies, arrangements and expressive phrasing while preserving their overall identity.

I’d like to start with one short piece as a paid trial, with the possibility of working on more of the soundtrack afterwards. I can provide audio references and MIDI.

If interested, please reply with examples of your piano work, your rates and availability. Thanks!

Hi Sullykin — Hx Works here.

Here is an eight-bar self-initiated piano A/B study with editable MIDI:

The second version preserves the melody while changing accompaniment, dynamics, articulation, pedal and tempo. This is code-authored MIDI with a rendered piano, rather than live piano performance.

My reference rate is US$25/hour. I am available to review one short piece asynchronously (China, UTC+8); the trial’s fixed scope, total fee and delivery date would be agreed before work starts.

How long is the trial piece, and do you want revised MIDI, rendered audio, or both? A public or redacted reference is enough for the initial scope discussion.

Hi Sullykin!

A clockwork bird and a nightingale in a bullet hell, honestly that's a lovely pair.

I'm Gabin, a French composer for indie games. For the trial, I'd keep your melodies and rework the voicing, the left hand and the phrasing so the piano really breathes.

30 €/min, junior rate, flexible on volume. MIDI + WAV in 3 days.

Which track should we start with?

Cheers,

Hi Sullykin. If you want I can do it for free. I'm trying to complete my portfolio, so i'm looking for projects.

Contact me on discord if you're interested (my username is Sfaltrax).

I got 10+ years of experience in classical music, music theory and musical writing.

hi! I have about 4 years of experience composing music and I’ve worked on several other projects, I have a strong disdain for AI and I wouldn’t enjoy just changing a few things but I’d probably end up recreating most of it in FL studio for free just so that it sounds alive lol I wouldn’t charge you and I’d appreciate if you’d let me do that. I also compose very quickly and could likely have a piece completely written and polished in 20-30 minutes. I’ve been studying music by hans zimmer, Toby fox, bo en, and a few others for years but particularly Toby fox’s style is the one I’m most comfortable using message me on discord @icarfeshh if you’re interested!

Hey Sullykin — I'm Nathaniel, composer/producer behind Noctis Ritus Productions. I arrange and refine tracks in the DAW (Studio One) — melodies, voicings, phrasing — which is exactly the job here, taking AI prototypes and making them sound alive. For the trial piece I can do a flat $60, revised MIDI + rendered WAV back within 48 hours. My work: https://Soundbetter.com/profiles/704471-noctis-ritus-productions. Happy to start with whichever track you want.
