I’m launching a retro-focused video game podcast and looking for a composer and sound designer to create a distinctive, nostalgic audio identity. The scope includes intro music (10–20 seconds with a memorable hook), outro music (10–20 seconds, matching the intro), and optional short transition sounds like menu select or level-up effects. The preferred style is inspired by 8-bit and 16-bit game audio, focusing on a chiptune or retro-synth aesthetic influenced by the NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis eras, while keeping production clean and modern. The music should avoid generic podcast sounds and instead feel like it belongs in a classic video game, instantly evoking nostalgia. Deliverables are high-quality WAV/MP3 files, a loopable version if applicable, and stems if possible. The audio will be used in a monetized YouTube podcast, requiring full usage rights. The timeline is around 1–2 weeks but is flexible. If you have experience with retro game sound and can create something unique, I would like to hear from you.
