Glad you like it! The pickaxe sound is a sample of a pickaxe hitting a rock with an orchestra anvil (from Spitfire's BBC Orchestra) laid overtop of it to give it the definition. Pixabay and Freesound.org are excellent places to get ambient sounds--the latter is where I found the minecart rolling. The actual sound was pretty rough so it benefits a lot from the panning and backgrounding/foregrounding.

Thanks a lot! Really enjoyed yours this time too!

Thanks so much!

Not to undercut the rest of the piece, but my favourite part of this is that high pitched pick axe noise. It's so perfect! Great job :)

I liked this a lot, really clean and atmospheric sounding!

I love the avalanche in the intro leading up to the main section of the piece. The main part kind of reminds me of Daedalus (the composer for Nidhogg), of whom I am a fan--very cool!

This has a really cool groove to it, I like how the arps weave in and out of the rhythm and the bass notes at the same time. It's almost soothing.

Well done! I really like how you used the strings on this--liked a plucked effect rather than a pitch centre for the piece. Neat!

This legitimately sounds like a miner singing a song to himself, in the mine! Good job!

Stunned, this is a super neat idea--I definitely think you nailed the vintage recording feel you were after!

Hahaha this is so bizarre, I love it so much

What a gorgeous melody, well done!

This is radical--gotta go make some FM chiptune now, haha. Well done!

Thanks! I really enjoyed your submission too, rad style!

This nails the NES vibe for sure! It sounds like you're even limiting the number of simultaneous channels to those available to an NES, which goes a long way. Love that delayed arp!

Thanks so much! Glad you got yours in too so that we could all hear!

Thanks so much! I really liked yours too!

Thanks so much! If you want even more fun from the ending, it should loop perfectly if you put it in a DAW and put the locators at the start and end. :) Enjoyed yours too!

Thanks so much! Any opportunity to use field recordings, I'm gonna take it :)

I wasn't sure how all of the different types of instrument sounds were going to go together (I heardchip, modern samples, FM, and 90s rompler sounds in here), but you did it! It's like a 90s computer ate 16 bit consoles and then was swallowed by a brand new PC.

Are these sampled instruments? If so, well done, because it's hard to tell!

I can picture the crane game that goes with this one, and renting it from the smokey family owned  video store that used to be near my house, haha. Cool stuff! 

This feels like it's about to fall apart but is tight the whole way through--perfect fit for the theme IMO!

Hey Larz, thanks for reaching out! I'm trying to keep my game jam work to people with a bit more experience than myself so that I learn some stuff. Since we're both a bit green it may not be the best time for us to team up. But let's see where we're at in the future!

All the best

Hey, glad you like my music! Lots of variety in your stuff there--are you on Discord by chance? If so, let's have a chat.  @cloudydaymusic#4946

A resounding yes! Let me know if you'd like to work together!

Hey everyone,

I'm a lifelong gamer and musician who's starting to work on more instrumental things, including video game soundtracks. I work in a wide variety of styles, and love the collaboration that comes from a good game jam. If you're looking to have some nice background music added to your project, hit me up! Obviously there would be no cost as it's just for a jam--just looking to build the portfolio. I've included some samples on Soundcloud below, including the piece I just did for the Hidden Meanings jam for a game called Mind Sweeper. That game is here

Looking forward to working with you!

Really glad you enjoyed the game! Let me know if you ever need music for a project you're working on :)

Hi everyone,

Is anyone interested in custom music for their project for the Kenney Jam 2019? If so, I'd like to throw my hat in the ring as someone who would be interested in working as part of development team. I work in various styles, but if you're looking for examples, you can find some here:

I'm trying to get involved more with the Game Jam community as I enjoy collaborating on a quick-turnaround project. They're also a much more fun way to add to one's portfolio than to simply sit in the studio and create music without purpose, which as someone new to composing for games, I am very much in favour of.

Hope to work with you!

Sure thing! I've not used Discord before--how do I find and connect to you?

Hi there,
I'm a lifelong musician and video game fan who's at the beginning of their composition career. I'm looking to work on projects that might build my portfolio, and so of particular interest to me are itch.io's world famous Game Jams, as that would allow me to get practice in lots of different kinds of music without a huge expectation of time or a need to negotiate too many financial complexities.  Game Jams (particularly ones with overarching themes, which lend themselves well to music) also seem like a fantastic way to meet developers and other artists in a working context, and to have something fun to play at the end is absolutely the cherry on top.  That this would be quick, unpaid work is a small concession to make for something so valuable.

That said, if you are working on a commercial project, I would also be interested! I can promise you my rates would be very reasonable, and they would largely depend on the time commitment that you require.

In addition to music composition and production services,  I am also WWISE101 certified, and so if your game uses this engine, I can integrate sound effects and basic musical uses for you, provided you have an audio developer handling things engine-side. I would also very much like to practice this as I don't code myself and thus lack opportunities to do so.

Below are a link to my website, and a link to my portfolio on soundcloud:

Looking forward to working with you!

Hey there,

I'm new to the world of composition for games, even though I've been playing music (and video games, for that matter) for decades. This sounds like it would be a cool project to provide a cue or two for, as the theme really speaks to me as an artist.

Are there any teams or developers in this jam looking for a composer?  I'd love to work with you, if so!
