If you want to bring your game's audio to life, I'm your guy. I will take on pretty much any type of reasonable work within the above fields and you can hear some of my work right here!

Please check out my soundcloud sets page to see the projects that I am currently allowed to share work for, feel free to ask for examples in specific styles.

If you like what you hear, please consider hiring me!

My prices are as follows:

$20 per hour for all music, sound design and audio related work.

OR alternatively:

$100 per minute for music. Revision charges will apply, please detail what you want properly and provide references that closely match what you want.

Example hourly pricings:

Most simple pieces of 2 minutes long music will usually take 4 to 6 hours. More complex themes, or themes longer than 2 minutes will cost more due to taking longer to create.

Sound design work takes a lot less time, it's not unusual to see me do 5-15 sounds in an hour. Menu sounds are even quicker than this.

Budgeting, inquiries and free sample tracks

If you're not sure whether you can afford me or not, or simply want to compare my prices to other people more easily, please feel free to approach me with a budget, track list and specific style in mind (youtube links are great for this). Work can be spread out over many months or taken on all at once.

I will happily help with any inquiries you might have and I may even have time to give you a short sample track snippet. Be aware that this would be an incomplete track of a short length (less than a minute) and only serves to give you a taste of what it's like to work with me, how good a fit I will be for your game and a way to gauge pricing more accurately if there is uncertainty.

Thanks for checking me out, I look forward to working with you!

I'm BENI.MARU - a freelance sound designer and composer based out of Canada (GMT -6).

I am a freelance composer.  I come from a long line of musicians, both my grandfathers played music by ear. My paternal grandfather could play any instrument he touched. Except for the piano. My maternal grandfather could play one instrument only. By ear. Guess what it was?
That's right, the piano!

All my life, music has been a huge part of me. From the very first time I listened to beloved video game music from Super Mario Bros 3 from the NES, I was hooked.
I have roughly 9 years of musical composing experience. I specialize in adventure and RPG type game soundtracks. Some of my greatest inspirations/influences are Lamb (As in "I will Talk to my Brothers" ) Koji Kondo (Mario, Zelda) , Jun Ishikawa (Kirby) Nobuo Uematsu, Loreena McKennitt, Aivi Tran, and Earth, Wind, and Fire.

Thank you for your interest in commissioning me.
Here is a preview of my work.
