Hello hope you're well, I'm JHawk. I have been composing for about 6 years now and am looking for my next big project!

Ideally I'm looking to compose for games that are aiming to release on Steam, my rates are negotiable depending on project size. If you'd like to listen to some of my work, I did the Soundtrack for Imago Season (on Steam), and The Free Music Store here on itch.

Here are a couple recent tracks of mine:

Thanks for listening, I look forward to working with you!

Sounds fun! looking forward to it :)

Thank you so much!

You're 100% right, when exporting I forgot to check the "Include audio tail" box. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll keep it in mind for next time!

Hello everyone, I've been composing for games for over half a decade now and am looking to join another big project!

My work includes the Imago Season OST, The Free Music Store (update coming soon), and many other smaller projects and music collections (visit my itch page for more)

Hiring me would also mean having the Soundtrack of your game on all major streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music , etc!

Currently my rate is $300 USD per minute of finished music (variable based on complexity), or we can agree on a total sum for a whole project.

Interested? Any Questions?

I look forward to working with you!

I wouldn't call myself a city person but I loved this! Really chill vibes from all three, the ambience on the second song was probably my favorite :)

Really satisfying to listen to, great production quality! Love all the effects on the guitar

Thanks so much for listening! 

It's been really fun listening to everyone's music so far, excited to keep going lol.

The name of the song matches the vibes of the music to a tee! Really cool

Rhythmically really nice, the bass groove has an addictive quality to it. Very cool!

When I read the description where you said you got a bit carried away I was about halfway through the song so I was confused because I was listening to some chill music that would definitely work as background music.

then you turned up the heat.

That was fire

I really like the how dark and moody the environment is, you can feel a sense of danger and anticipation which is really cool. Good stuff!

I love when music has a story to tell, and this song sounded like an owl taking its last flight! The instrumentation was spot on, that synth matched an owls hoot perfectly, The guitars were really good too. 

Really nice! 

Really cool! I wasn't expecting any songs in the jam to have vocals but it fits really nicely (both the Do Bahs and the Ooohs). I also really admire the amount of movement and  how many times you were able to switch it up without it feeling at all jarring. 

Also it fits the background music theme really well, because most of the time in Youtube videos they'll only have a song on for a few moments, so the song having a bunch of audibly distinct sections just means the song is multi-purpose. You could use one section for a big exciting moment and another for a slower more thoughtful part.

Overall really good! Harmonically very impressive, I can definitely hear that coveted minor 4 that we all love lol.

great stuff

Thanks so much for the kind words! I agree the minor 4 is so goated, it pulls on those heartstrings so much.

For the wavy texture in the background I made a fog volume in Blender and keyframed the texture being rotated while the camera was in the middle, and that's it! it ended up being pretty simple even though I have very little experience in Blender:

The music player itself I custom made a little while ago so I was able to reuse that and add in the background video thankfully.

Thanks again for having a listen :D

Thanks for Listening!

Definitely fits the Animal Crossing aesthetic well done!

Idk man, seemed like a pretty joyful party to me.

Very fun, couldn't help but bobble my head to it. As you said, it might be a bit much for something in the background but it definitely makes for a great listen. I especially like the call and response that's present pretty much throughout with the slidey lead and the airy synth.

Good stuff!

Big fan of how upbeat this is, music to put you in a good mood. The melody fit the chords very nicely too, although I think occasionally if you let it breathe a bit more, turning the melody into phrases that begin and end, then let the underlying chords carry the weight for a bit, it would really make the melody pop. 

Good stuff!

BeepBox is such a goated DAW fr

This goes unreasonably hard. 

Part One  is just such a nice groove, from the moment the drums drop in everything just feels cool. Somehow you've made a 5+ minute song feel like a 3 minute 30 song, such nice vibes.

Part Two makes me want to do a funny dance in a supermarket.

Very much enjoyed, favorite so far!

I don't quite know how to describe it, but the whole album has a very familiar quality to it. The second song in particular is very reminiscent of Scarborough Fair, and I think ties together all of the songs quite nicely. 

The three songs together really do tell a vivid story, very cool!

A very pleasant listen! Stayed interesting throughout the whole piece, bringing in extra elements / sections kept it nice and fresh. If I had to give one piece of feedback, I think the piano in particular could have the velocities and timings  of each note slightly tweaked to give it a more realistic sound, but that's not a big concern. I really liked the faster pace instead of going with the obvious choice of slow and light. 

Overall really good! I enjoyed it

Yes you can! Thanks for asking :)

Hello Im JHawk, an experienced video game composer, and I'm looking for a fun project to join!

If You'd like to check out some recent work of mine, I just published the OST to Imago Season on all major streaming services,

If you're not looking for anything custom, I also have in excess of 100 Free songs you can download from the Free Music Store!

I look forward to working with you!

Hey thanks so much for using my music!! I agree that it fit your style super well :)

Really interesting main mechanic, I love the different applications of using the undo button and that it changes depending on the environment, really cool!

Very cute :) Really cool intro sequence!

This is so sick!! Great variety with the levels and everything was super intuitive. I really liked the levels that asked you to mask under the player to create an elevator type thing, really neat. So cool

Thanks so much for reaching out! you can contact me either at 20jhawk20@gmail.com , or jhawk2314 on Discord! 

Thank you so much for the kind words!! Really appreciate that :)

Yes and yes!  :D

Wow thank you so much for the in-depth analysis and kind words! Really appreciate it, glad you enjoyed :D

This is indeed really cool sound design! Very well mixed and professionally put together. Such a clear direction and theme to both songs. The clicks and whirs just make you feel somewhere high tech in space. The second song is a really nice vibe as well, great stuff! Love the energy throughout and the arpeggios at the end :)

Ok I created a SoundCloud account and put the link to the album in the project page! Also it should be possible to tab out now, thanks for the ideas!

Thanks so much for listening! Good thinking about not being able to tab out, I hadn't really considered that but should be an easy fix. I'll also look into putting it somewhere else to listen to (maybe Soundcloud and/or YouTube). Thanks so much for the helpful feedback, glad you enjoyed! 

Very nice! Really cool atmospheres established, my favorites were Mall Station and Temple Grounds. Loved the variety of synths used, I found it very immersive!

Incredible stuff! This definitely feels like an OST, every song felt like it belonged and provided a purpose or fit a theme. Honestly I don't really have any notes, everything was super professionally done, I was basically drooling the whole time it was such an enjoyable listen. Supernova Cannon especially was euphoric to listen to, felt right in place with some of my favorite game soundtracks! Kudos to you for such a great selection of music, well done!!

Really Strong! Super powerful with the guitar and bass, felt like the end of a movie, and it was able to hold that feeling throughout which is cool. I feel like the synths could even be utilized a bit more, for example the ending was really cool with the synth that bounced around, so more bits like that would be sick. Overall Really good! Great guitar playing :)

Great stuff! It felt really uplifting, and listening to it felt like the weightlessness of space :D My only critique is that the guitar in the first section  seemed a little overpowering, but I liked how the song built and kept growing after the pauses. Really cool!

Really Cool! My favorite was probably The Beauty That Cannot Be Seen, although it was tough to pick :)

The other two songs have really nice progressions that keep things fresh while maintaining a solid foundation, and though perhaps a little busy at times, were very pleasant to listen to. The automation with the synths/effects was a big highlight as well.

The thing that stuck out to me about my favorite one, was how long it hovered with those pad chords, just building an ethereal sort of landscape with some interesting percussion to add energy, then the sudden switch towards the end completely transformed the piece. The lead synth(s) in that section occasionally going out of tune, then  having some cool delay was sick. It really felt like a big release. 

Overall really solid! I enjoyed listening to each a few times :)

Thank you so much!! Really appreciate the kind words :)
