I make quite a bit of music with a lot of variety, however, i've been consuming a lot of media that strives to push the medium. Doesn't matter if that is art, music, game, etc. I find that a mindset that is shared between each other of art-first is necessary for this to come to fruition. That is to say, I am interested in doing this for the love of the game and prefer to make unique experiences over something that will make a lot of money or be very popular. Think games like Hylics, Growing my Grandpa!, Who's Lila?,  Cruelty Squad, etc.; probably unappealing to a general audience, but, if you get them and what they are trying to do, they will stick with you for a long time. Generally, these games have a very psychedelic/surreal quality to them that I really like, and I feel they lean towards style over substance, which, i'd argue style is/can be substance.

About what I can do: I am an experimental-focused artist who is looking to make experimental games. I tend to make rock-based music, electronic-based, and noise-based. I can make some fairly generic, pleasant music, but do not prefer it as of late. I can play guitar and bass irl and use them a lot in my music. Otherwise, I use synths, samples, field recordings, etc. I am not very good at writing traditional scores/orchestra. I do not have much experience with sound design but feel I could do it well if I tried. I also can help with writing and concepts as I have a lot of ideas and will gladly throw them out. I also dabble in digital art, more-so out of necessity for my music, but still, I can help if needed. I also generally know how to code; not enough to make a game, but I could help with testing if needed. I mostly would like to make music, though.  

As of this post, I have been listening to a lot of James Ferraro lately if you'd like to know what is really inspiring me. David Lynch is probably the best artist of all time imo and I love his ethos surrounding art. 

My itch profile has links to my stuff. I can send unreleased WIPs upon request, too. I've been working on a new batch of loops lately, have some fuller songs in the works after. Built a noise rig recently and would like to use it more soon as well. 

I do not make art for money; I will gladly help out for free assuming the game is being released for free. If the game is to be released and is not free, I expect fair compensation for my time.   

Hmu if this sounds interesting to you and lets cook  🤝
  

Would be very interested in helping out with sound in a project if anyone is in need. I recently made a drone/noise rig that I think would be awesome to use, but I also can make normal music. I have some links to my music on my itch profile; I don't mind if a song gets used as long as I have a heads up + I can make it loop or alter it for you game if need be. I can also create new music ofc

Heres a couple horror-related tracks:

Musicians who would be interested in teaming up. I have links and such on my profile

if you need music, feel free to browse my profile/links. it's probably too late for me to make an entirely new piece, however, I can take an existing one and tweak it to fit your game/make it loopable

love horror and would love to make some horror-related music. if anyone needs a musician in the team, hit me up. would be very into making something that is Lynch-inspired

little late but if you need some music, i may be able to help depending on your wants/needs. Im not sure ill be able to come up with something original and have it ready in 4 days, however, if you want to check out the tunes i have on my itch and newgrounds profiles and think one may work, I could rework it to fit the needs of your game

sending a request now, going to start working on something tonight

TooTired had responded quicker with an idea that i im on board withand i already started working on that. same offer applies to you, though; willing to rework songs in my portfolio to fit your game, can't guarantee ill have time to make another fully original soundtrack

ngl my mind doesnt go to beach on this but regardless this is really really sick. i agree with it feeling like it would fit in a soundtrack 

sweet, have a preferred way of communicating? not sure what the vibe/atmosphere of the game is going to be, but in my head i was thinking something pretty lowkey, maybe based on outsider house or trip-hop. kinda borrowing from balatro but using a different genre

Looks like I am working with someone else and wouldn't have time to work on original music for more than one team. However, if you would like to browse my catalog on itch/newgrounds and use an existing song, I can work with you to to prepare that. I can also make slight modifications if need be.

oh yeah this smooth

gibe ur synth patches now

damn this rips

we may be few, but we are proud 

woah that sounds sick. also was obsessed with balatro for a while. def down to help with that

yo, might be interested in composing. would want to hear what kind of game yall are working on and go from there

howdy, if you have an idea for this jam that you wanna throw by me i'd be down to hear it out. Portfolio looks solid 

thats alright, do you have some ideas for the game? I can do a lot of stuff but im only really interested in/have time for the music tbh

word, do you have a portfolio i can view?

yo, i make tunes and interested in this jam. I can do most stuff but been doing drone/noise lately. I prefer using live guitar/bass for most things. browse some of my tunes on my newgrounds page: https://simiaman.newgrounds.com/

Yo would be down to hear you out and potentially do music (maybe sfx if I have time/depending on scope). I am a novice composer, got some stuff in my profile

Hi, sorry i missed this but I wouldn't be able to make music/do sound design on such short notice

I've got some links on my profile to show some previous game jams submission and other works. 

Yo composer looking to join someone/a team. Peep the profile for songs/links i got some goods

Hello all; if you need a music for your game, hit me up! I've got plenty of demos in my itch.io profile to browse. Defintely looking to just have fun with it/help pad out our portfolios or perhaps finding a team for a future, serious project. 

If anyone needs a musician for their game, hit me up; would be glad to join someone. Here are a couple of links to show some previous work: 

Pixel Series Vol. 1 | Simiaman

Stream simiaman music | Listen to songs, albums, playlists for free on SoundCloud

(PS I do all my own artwork so, if needed, I could assist there, too, although it is not my priority)

Admittedly i am not a fan of puzzle games so I cannot be a good judge of this game in terms of gameplay. With that said, the puzzle presented was cool and the presentation looked great!

I will be honest, the game lost me towards the end, however, most of the game I found genuinely unnerving, and it has been a long long time since I've been that anxious playing a game. Doing something as mundane as unpacking boxes while having horror elements slowly creep in is a great idea and the execution is awesome here. Looking forward to more of your stuff!

Quite literally a game I think about still today after 100%'ing it a year ago, probably will go down as one of my all-timers tbh. Presentation is perfect, story is incredibly thought-provoking, gameplay is probably one the most unique ideas in gaming I've seen. Will be looking forward to more from ya

Insane concept and execution. I find your stuff incredibly inspirational and feel they push gaming in a good direction, Growing my Grandpa! is no exception.  

Probably my favorite jam entry so far in terms of gameplay. I could see myself playing this if it were expanded and the performance was enhanced (was a bit laggy for me)

literally art

Insane presentation and concept; I really mess with the vision here and would love to see it fully realized. 

Instructions: I use a lot of delays and reverbs, so most of the songs here have two files of the same song. The one labeled "entrance" should be played first. Then, if the song were to loop, the one labeled "loop" should be played next, and continue playing. So, entrance triggered once, loop will be looped. This will create a seamless loop of the song without weird cuts and such. 

These songs are totally free to use for the Chill Vibes Art Jam 4 submissions, all I ask is to be credited for it's use in the game page.

If a game from this jam were to continue development and still contain my music, outside of the Chill Vibes Art Jam 4 game jam, I am still okay with the songs being used with permission from myself first.

If someone would like to use these songs for something not related to the Chill Vibes Art Jam 4 game jam, please ask first.

These songs will be uploaded elsewhere, altered, remixed, and used for other projects by myself.
