Hey INAT!
https://www.glassearthstudios.com/
I’m a game music composer and sound designer looking to team up with developers who are 100% committed to bringing their project across the finish line.
I’m currently wrapping up/working on active game scores, but I’m looking to keep the momentum going and line up the next great world to build audio for.

What I Bring to the Table:

Versatile Scoring: Highly specialized in Dark, Sci-Fi, and High-Energy/Upbeat soundtracks, but flexible across genres.

Full Audio Pipeline: I deliver production-ready, fully mixed and mastered tracks or adaptive layers that sit perfectly in-game.

Fast, Collaborative Iteration: Great with direction, receptive to feedback, and deeply passionate about matching the game's vision.

What I’m Looking For:

Paid roles are ideal, but I am open to RevShare if the team is organized, active, and relentless about reaching launch.

Here is my bio:
I'm Dana Roskvist, a composer and sound designer behind Glass Earth Studios, and the frontman of Australian heavy alt band Sydonia.

For years, I toured internationally with Sydonia, sharing the stage with bands like Slipknot, Korn, Lamb of God, Machine Head, and Stone Sour. Those experiences shaped my bombastic nature and love of raw emotion in music, something I now channel into scoring video games, film, and TV.

Whether it's a stealthy sci-fi thriller, an adorable low poly adventure, or the dark heart of a fantasy horror,  I bring an understanding of music over thirty years in the making. I'm deep into the technical side of my software and instruments, and have a good ear and the right tools to get a pro sounding mix. I fall in love with every project I work on and I bend over inside out to get a result we will all be proud of.

"Dana makes collaboration feel easy. He's able to take vague and conflicting ideas about the project's direction, and turn that into a consistent and compelling soundtrack."
Brad Bambara (Dead Reckoner)

To be honest and clear I am no expert. I've only had a few paying jobs in a row now, and I've only been doing this seriously for a year and a half. I've been producing music for twenty years however.

But, if you don't have these basics sorted, and you're trying to get people to click on google drive links to hear your work, you need to make some changes.

Simple but effective, and also has lots of possibilities.

This is my band if you are curious:

And this is a free demo of a game that I did the music for recently:

Curators and devs are always looking for versatility, so I tried to show as wide a range as possible here. Let me know what you think, and if any particular vibe stands out to you?
If you are looking for the games, two are up on Steam, and Whiskers even has a free demo. The other two are not at that point yet.

Really, the best mic will differ depending on your budget and setup, but yeah, this mic is really quite amazing, especially for the sound vs price ratio.

Prince might be the exception that proves the rule here 😊

Someone the other day said I gave them the 'ick'... I apologise. I have to film these in segments as I'm not wholly confident in front of the camera/phone. Whatever it is, sorry.

I'm also not quite the human I once was (recovering addict here). But, I've done stuff (I've toured with Slipknot, Korn, LOG and Stone Sour among other's and I've worked with the producers Colin Richardson, Ginge and dw Norton).

Aaaand, I have struggled with the beautiful art of songwriting for decades, so I figure i have something to share, so I'm gonna keep sharing it.

Btw, the bass in the "Final Form" of this track is played by Mr Adam Murray of Sydonia, not me.

There's a free version and a suped up $20 US version that comes with lots of lovely presets.

Emergence, whether the free of the $20 US version, its a very cool option if Portal is too expensive.
