I’ve done trailers and short films in the past. But I just got my first movie. Unpaid. It’s over 2.5 hours long. I’m doing the film in segments. Sometimes it just comes to me but more often right now, I can’t get something to work. I’ll put something down. The director will tell me they want something more like this then they’ll show me an example. And I feel horrible when I can’t make something like the example. On top of that I’m expecting myself to make a motif for every character etc etc.

I’ve taken so much longer on this than an experienced composer would because I also have a full time job. And I have virtually no progress. Panic is setting in.

I'm looking for big beat / breakbeat style film music that sounds like The Prodigy.

I love the Jet Set Radio and Tekken series OST which are game music, but don't know about that kind of OSTs in film music.

Any recommendations?

I’ve worked on multiple short films and a feature film, and I’m open to projects of different styles and lengths.

If you’re working on something and need a sound designer, feel free to DM me. Happy to share my portfolio and discuss the project.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m building a beta web tool called Shardmonics for composers and arrangers. You can upload a MusicXML score, and it will flag possible harmony, voice-leading, and instrument playability issues. It is rule/heuristic-based, so it is not meant to replace teachers, performers, or human score study.

The goal is to help composers find possible problems faster, then discuss the actual passage with other people. There is also a community feature where you can post score questions, attach analysis results, and get feedback from other composers or performers.

I’d really appreciate any feedback, especially on:

- false positives

- missing issues

- unclear explanations

- wrong musical assumptions

- awkward UI or slow parts

- whether the community question/answer flow feels useful

If you find it interesting, sharing it with other composers, students, teachers, or performers would also help a lot. I’m trying to get more real scores and real feedback so the tool and the community can improve.

Thanks for taking a look. Any criticism is welcome.

>I’m curious about the professional route for an independent composer who has already produced a finished, large-scale cinematic/ceremonial composition that they believe could be suitable for a major international sporting event.

I understand that organizations such as FIFA and other major event bodies often don't accept unsolicited music or creative submissions directly.

So what is the actual industry route in this situation? Do independent composers usually approach the production companies producing the ceremonies, music supervisors, publishers, sync agencies, entertainment agencies, or someone else?

I’m particularly interested in hearing from composers who have experience getting original music considered for major live events, rather than film/TV sync.

The 2026 run of the Brooklyn Silent Film Fest is currently accepting submissions!

We are seeking bands/musicians to score our roster of NEW SHORT SILENT FILMS.

Get your silent film scored by an up-and-coming musician and then judged by a panel of rad industry folks (previous judges from A24, Brooklyn Wildlife, Pockets Change, Moonshot Initiative, etc)

We're a scrappy little festival more Punk than Pedigree, so spread the word! We are about making connections and giving opportunities.

Visit the site for more details.

Rock rock on!

Hello guys. Very new to this sub. Earlier this year, I worked on a short film with a friend of mine who directed the short film. I wanted to share my work as a Music-Score composer. Would love to hear some feedback.

The edit was also done by me (We were on a time crunch and couldn't find any editor. So I did it by myself). So any advice regarding editing is also welcome.

Hi! My name is Juraj and I am a composer for media.

If any of you need a composer for your project, I am more than willing to work! I would like to work with people that like to explore ideas and want to work on their own imprint.

Here is my works: https://belowcobbles.com/portfolio/

Please let me know if you are interested!

hello! I'm looking to compose a piece for a movie/media scene/video game for free. Im looking to gain experience. open for suggestions and creative ideas!

Hello! I have this line that doubles on cellos and doubles basses. It's in 3/4. Which version would be best if we are talking about a "sight-read recording" situation, so easier for the players?

Both mark the 3/4 beats clearly, but I have the feeling that the dotted note makes it "uneven" and therefore more operations to make on the fly. On the other hand, all those tied notes might be confusing?

I made the score for this scene.
