Portfolio Samples: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmcleodcompositions/playlists

Hey everyone! I’m offering FREE composition services to build my portfolio. If you're developing a game and need custom music, I’d love to collaborate. 

What I Offer:

  • Genres of Focus: Fantasy, Horror, Sci-Fi, Synthwave, Ambient/Soundscapes, Metal. (I can work beyond these, though EDM/Hyper-pop isn't my forte.)
  • Love for Retro Vibes: I have a strong passion for music that captures the PS1/PS2 era, especially survival horror.
  • Highly Collaborative: I’ll work with you to create a soundtrack that fits your vision perfectly.

How We Can Work Together:

  • Early-Production: If you're in a playable alpha state, I’ll compose level-by-level, or area-by-area etc -  refining as we go.
  • Mid/Late Development: Already deep into your project? Ready to start marketing? Send me a list of what you need, and I’ll get to work.
  • Unfortunately I can't help with projects still in pre-production or prototyping phases.

Terms (Fair & Simple):

  • Free – This is to build my portfolio ultimately. 
  • Lifetime License – You can use the music in your game, marketing, trailers, and any future remasters/remakes. Anything you require to ship and market your product basically. 
  • I Retain Distribution Rights – The only thing I ask is to be able to share the music beyond the scope of the game itself. For example, on YouTube, my website, and platforms like Spotify.

Want a Sample?

If you’d like me to audition, drop me a message with background on your game (genre, basic plot, what point in development you are in)

Hi ryanmcleod! How are you doing?

What is it with the McLeod's and their generosity with free music?

Jokes aside, I am on an open beta stage with my game Recolonizer, which is set to release in a few months (aiming for mid-2025).

While I have some placeholder sounds and music, I would love to have a proper soundtrack that gives the game a bit of identity as I get to the final stages of polish, maybe even make this soundtrack change with the level state, depending on how much time / budget we can allocate. But I'd go with a simple loop in the meantime to reduce the workload.

For now, I definitely need:

  • Theme song for main menu
  • Pause song
  • UI element sound effects
  • 3-5 Level soundtracks (Thematic, so I can repeat them in levels with a similar vibe)
    • In the game you defend against invading empires, so I think each empire should have its own soundtrack

The game is currently not funded, but I can pay you depending on what you want to negotiate.

Plus the graphics are a bit low-poly stylized, so I hope they align with your preference somewhat.
