Hi! Are you making a game that could have been released on consoles like the SNES, the N64, the PS1, the Dreamcast, or the Gamecube?

 
If you are, please reach out! Not only do I have years of experience working in the Hollywood film music industry, I also specialize in writing music inspired by that mid 90s - early 00s era of gaming, using the same synths and samplers found in the soundtracks to your favorite games. Check out my work: https://soundcloud.com/kent-kercher/sets/micro-loops

Thanks!

Wow, I just heard your stuff, and it was pretty good. It reminded me of some of my N64 games lol. Your music is really good, I really like it. I'm working on a Waluigi fan game which can be found here. It's not necessarilly super 90s vibes, but it's pixel art. I was wondering if you'd like to make some music for the game. I can't pay you or anything like that, mostly because this is a passion project of mine that I hope can be featured inSpaceHamster's video on YouTube. Reply if you want to collaborate or something. I'd be sure to include you in the credits and such.

Hi Boss Studios, that's very kind of you! I am unfortunately not in the position to work for free at this time, but I wish you best of luck with your game!

Hi all!

Here's my latest demo, inspired by the music to Rayman 2:

Do you favor the late 2D and early 3D eras of gaming? 

Are you making a collectathon, a shmup, a jrpg, a kart racer, a puzzle-adventure, a tactical rpg, a narrative adventure, or a platformer inspired by the tropes of that time?

I just had a meeting with a head producer of a well-known game studio a little over a week ago. He told me that - though he listens to demo reels for a living - my game music reel was the most unique, best-produced, and most authentic he’d ever heard in this style. As far as he was concerned, I am now the go-to guy for when he will need this kind of music!

What do you think? Could I be your go-to guy, too?

Here's my latest track - it's cartoony and quirky!
