I'm looking for a custom original track for my indie psychological horror game inspired by Lisa: The Painful. The track will be something like a radio-style background track for a 2D game where the player works as a bartender. The music will play during active work scenes while the player makes drinks and handles a lot of customer orders, so it should have energy and movement to it. I want something semi-fast, groovy, chaotic, slightly sleazy, and nervous. This is a horror game, but not in a typical horror movie background music way. It is more of a bartender sim with themes of alcoholism and the idea that people are the real monsters. Because of that, I want the track to feel strange, experimental, and very human. Not generic horror music. Not cinematic trailer music. Not dark ambient wallpaper. I want something with personality that feels authored by a real person. Don't be afraid to be weird. The track should work as background music for a bar, but still feel a little off, tense, or emotionally dirty underneath. It should help the player feel active and engaged during busy work, not sleepy or too relaxed. This track should be instrumental. I have no need for vocal lyrics, but using some sounds or super small samples is cool (you'll see in the ref files). Choirs are ok, but with moderation. Melody by voice is also fine. Original work only, please, no AI-generated or AI-assisted music. And I need an exclusive custom track for my game. The track will be around 2 to 3 minutes long and should have a clear beginning and ending. It does not need to loop. Track is gonna be played in mono in-game. We might add a radio and make it a stereo, but I'm not sure yet. My main reference for hat I want is from Lisa: The Painful: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] These tracks are good references for the kind of weird, memorable, human-made energy I'm looking for. I don't want a copy of these tracks. I only mean them as references for mood, boldness, and unusual personality. Deliverables: - 1 full original track around 2-3 mins - WAV + MP3 My budget for this track is $30-50. If I like working together, I have other tasks for tracks with similar vibes.

Hi, I’d love to work on this project. Your description immediately resonated with me because I’m very interested in music that feels human, strange, and emotionally imperfect rather than traditional horror scoring. I’m a guitarist, producer, and composer with experience creating experimental, groove-driven music using live instruments, lo-fi textures, and unconventional sound design. I enjoy writing music that sits between background atmosphere and active rhythm, keeping the player engaged while something uneasy and psychological exists underneath. I understand you’re looking for something memorable and authored, not cinematic horror or generic ambient music. My goal would be to create a semi-fast, nervous bar-radio track with groove, movement, and personality — slightly sleazy, chaotic, and human, fitting a bartender gameplay environment while carrying emotional tension beneath the surface. I will deliver a fully original composition with no AI-generated material. The track will be around 2–3 minutes with a clear beginning and ending, mixed to work well in mono for in-game playback. Final delivery will include WAV and MP3 files. I’m comfortable working within your budget and would be happy to collaborate on future tracks if the partnership works well. Best regards, Michele Zara Composer / Producer / Multi-Instrumentalist

Hey, Your project instantly caught my attention — not because it’s “horror,” but because it’s human, uncomfortable, and a bit dirty beneath the surface. That’s exactly the kind of space I like to work in. I’m a DJ/producer based in Istanbul, working mainly in melodic techno and indie dance, but I often move into more experimental and character-driven sound design when the project calls for it. What you described — semi-fast, groovy, chaotic, slightly sleazy and nervous — is something I can absolutely translate into a track that feels alive, not generic. I won’t give you cinematic horror or ambient filler. I’ll build something with personality — something that feels like it’s coming from a broken radio in a bar where things aren’t quite right. Here’s how I’d approach your track: • Groovy but unstable rhythm (keeps the player active) • Slightly detuned or “imperfect” elements to create tension • Textures that feel human and flawed, not polished • Subtle experimental touches to keep it unpredictable Fully original work, no AI, and tailored specifically for your game. I’m also open to building a consistent sonic identity if you plan to expand the soundtrack later. Let’s make something weird and memorable.
