EDIT: position is taken

I'm looking for a composer for Superku who is able to create nice and catchy ~1min loops (no intro/ outro required) and a few, possibly shorter, boss battle themes. Additionally, there are a few ambient tracks to be made (> 1min), f.i. for the windy levels at the beginning of the video, and one epic orchestral piece along with one variation.
The position is paid.

If you are a dedicated composer, open for criticism and interested in creating the score of Superku, please contact me via e-mail at admin@superku.de.
The work should be completed at the beginning of June, but the sooner, the better.

Btw. I dislike the sound of triangles and other high-pitched instruments (esp. those default sounds in snow/ ice levels, they are just annoying) and I don't want the loops to sound like trance music, I mostly prefer distinct tones.

The game:

I make music for my own projects (though mostly hardcore techno and dubstep :p). I do however know how to compose music, and would like to know what particular style you are going for? Once I have a general idea of the kind of music you want, I can make some samples for you and you can let me know if you're interested.

Here is my most recent work

That's more or less up to you just because I don't know it, yet. I think the regular stages resp. their loops could have a distinct melody like in Mario games or SNES games, but with deeper tones and (more) bass and maybe even a little touch of techno or sth. like that. I don't want to have 8/16bit sound, though, the tracks should be accomplished with modern technology and have a clear sound - I f.i. dislike Cave Story's music, it's just too old school.


Things I like that may inspire you:

Super Metroid - Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhAQfpbsymU (fantastic)
I love most Metroid tunes anyway, including the following: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLLE_PvJ5mY&feature=related
One level plays in a big temple, I would like to have a song that was somehow inspired by the following two tracks:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghCbnFbpbF8&feature=related (quality is bad, it's a GBA game)
Another Metroid track, the Ridley battle theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBMSZpWPvDI&feature=related

Super Smash Bros. - Dreamland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opbqLIrUHuE&feature=related (melody is awesome)
Many Tetris (and Mario) remixes, including: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CosNJBante0 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDfb78ZmXYI
SM Galaxy 2 - Puzzle Plank Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keeM4wFRJWk (I know, pretty complex, but I like it)
Deadmau5 - Ghosts n Stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL909DN4c3g
Fancy Mike - Death Proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_lc6b_A33w
YKEL - the Future Mix: http://soundcloud.com/ykel/ykel-the-future-mix-2011 (sometimes a little too much dubstep)

The following three tracks have vocals, they are regular songs, and don't fit a video game, I know, but I like their sound:
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Garden: http://grooveshark.com/#/s/Garden/3wEJLC?src=5 (sounds like a video game after all)
The Black Eyed Peas - Whenever: http://grooveshark.com/#/s/Whenever+Album+Version/3TFFgB?src=5
Chase & Status - Time: http://grooveshark.com/#/s/Time/3YYyvZ?src=5


Btw. I like your track, esp. after hearing it for the the second/ third time.

Just made this on a whim, its nowhere complete but let me know if its what youre looking for. I have many songs which are actually finished I could put up as well.

i can do that, no problem. in case you NEVER heard anything I did (a shame, but hey, happens) you can check out my website. Also, have a few links to videos that feature music by me:

all of those are in various quality and various genres. As a reference, ask Slin what I can do

oh and just because I can, I have thrown together this pretty basic song just for you. I am not really sure if this is ANYTHING like what you want, however after watching some chilly gameplay video I think it fits^^
