[ForHire] Composer / Audio Director — Narrative-driven, anime-inspired game music
Hey everyone! I'm Juan Schmulenson, a composer and Audio Director specializing in narrative-driven, emotionally-driven music for videogames. I'm currently looking for new projects to take on.
My music is heavily inspired by the Japanese approach to game and anime soundtracks. Think hybrid orchestral/electronic, J-rock, emotional melodies, leitmotif-driven composition and strong sonic identity. My main influences are Yasunori Mitsuda, Hiroyuki Sawano, Yuki Hayashi and Nobuo Uematsu.
I work best with projects that have a strong artistic identity: JRPGs, SRPGs, Metroidvanias, narrative games, anime-inspired worlds. If your game has a story to tell and a world to build, that's where I thrive.
I also run Ankaa Studio, where I can support projects beyond music with sound design and implementation as well, all under the same artistic direction.
What I offer:
- Composition and music direction
- Leitmotif-driven, cohesive soundtracks
- Sound design and implementation
- Mixing and mastering
Rates: Vary by project scope. Feel free to reach out and we can talk details.
