Hi everyone,

I’m Ben Rawles and I’m a Music Composer and lover of Indie games working in the UK. I have 8 years of experience in Composition, Recording and Production, and I’m working towards my degree in Music for the Moving Image and Music Production at Leeds College of Music in North England.

A little FAQ...

Why would I choose you over other composers?

I’m a passionate Music Composer, Producer and Songwriter with hours of composition for film and adverts under my belt. Studying at the prestigious College of Music in Leeds, I'm constantly working with other composers, artists, and musicians, so I have the connections to get exactly the sound you're looking for, and I have access to top flight studios to make it sound as good as possible. I've also written/co-written and produced two albums, which have both had nationwide radio-play (BRMB/Beacon/BBC Radio Leeds) and I've created Foley sound design for several film projects.

Have you got any experience working with game developers?

I have worked with a number of game developers on projects ranging from small Android/iOS projects to higher budget indie projects, but I make the most of any platform I work with, so small speakers on mobile platforms sound as good as possible, as well as fully fledged PC systems. Most of my experience lies in TV and Advertising, but I'm excited to work with passionate game developers that want great music to give their game atmosphere and personality!

How much do you charge?

This will depend entirely on what you're looking for, but I can certainly achieve a lot more than you'd expect from your music budget. Whether you want to tell me what you need, or what you can afford, I will do the best I can to enrich your game, without exhausting your budget!

Can I listen to something?

I have loads of demo's on my website that are constantly being updated with new material, but if you want me to compose you a free sample tailored to your game, send me an e-mail and that way you'll know what I'm capable of, before you hire me out! If you've heard the demo's and you want a quote for your game, send me an e-mail with info about the game, platform, budget etc, and I'll try to get back to you on the same day!

Kind Regards,

Ben Rawles

I've been working closely with the talented creator of 'Reobirth' over the last few weeks so I've got some great new stuff to show you!

Here's the 'Battle Soundtrack' composed for the game.

I'm also working on music and sound design for two big game trailer projects, an android game (for Microsoft and Sony) and a full game soundtrack later in the year!

Stay tuned and thanks for your interest,
Ben.

I composed some podcast music recently for an RPG game. Will was looking for 'Post-Apocalyptic Industrial' music, and this is what I came up with!

Listen to the 'The Mutant Epoch Symphony Soundtrack'

I've now made an agreement with a professional string quintet (Full 5 Piece), so I can offer real, live strings in any compositions I do for you. The expression and emotion you get from these players is incredible, and it really can't be matched by composers using computers alone.

If you're looking for some high budget movie quality music, but you're on a tight budget, I guarantee that I can compose and record what you want with professional string players, in a high-end acoustically treated recording studio for less than $120/£80/94 Euro per minute!

If you're budget is very tight, I can offer even better rates without recorded live strings!
