Film Score Composer & Music Producer (Global Indian Fusion Focus)

Next-Generation Music Composer – Award-Winning Break Awaits

The Opportunity: Your First Blockbuster Credit

We are not looking for a hired gun; we are searching for the next seminal voice in Indian film music. This is a demanding, high-stakes project offering the career-defining break that formal training promises. If you have just graduated from a top-tier music composition program, possess a deep reverence for Indian classical music, and are relentlessly ambitious about achieving a global sound, we offer the platform. We expect excellence and offer an unmatched opportunity for career acceleration and portfolio building in return for a modest, project-based compensation.

Core Mandate: The Global Indian Sound

The successful candidate must be a Master of Fusion—a composer who can seamlessly blend and elevate the music to international standards.

• Indian Classical Foundation: You must demonstrate a profound, academic understanding of Ragas (melody), Talas (rhythm), and the expressive depth of Indian classical forms (Hindustani or Carnatic). This is the soul of our music.
• International Oomph & Production: You must be a guru in modern music production, capable of layering, orchestrating, and mixing that classical foundation with international genres (e.g., epic orchestral scoring, electronic soundscapes, contemporary jazz, or global folk rhythms) to achieve a sound that is rich, layered, and universally appealing—a true East-Meets-West sonic identity.
• Emotional Score Mastery: Compose and produce the entire spectrum of music for our animated feature—from chart-ready songs that carry emotional weight to complex, underscore BGMs (Background Music) that precisely hit narrative cues (hit points) and elevate cinematic moments.
• Sound Design Integration: Work hand-in-hand with the sound team to ensure seamless, world-class integration of music and sound effects, recognizing that the final mix is critical to the international-grade quality we seek.

Technical & Production Requirements

This is a Producer-Composer role. You must be able to move your work from concept to final, polished demo.

• DAW Mastery: Expert proficiency in a professional-grade Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) such as Logic Pro X, Cubase, or Pro Tools for composing, arranging, and mixing.
• Virtual Orchestration: Proven skill in utilizing and programming high-quality virtual instrument libraries (e.g., Hollywood Orchestral Series, EastWest, Kontakt) to create realistic and emotionally resonant orchestral mockups.
• Studio Literacy: Deep understanding of signal flow, microphone techniques (even if primarily using samples), mixing (EQ, compression, reverb), and mastering to deliver a broadcast-quality stereo mix.
• Notation Fluency: Ability to read and write musical notation (using Sibelius or Finale is a plus) for potential live session orchestration.

Key Skillset and Mindset (The "Hungry" Factor)

We are selecting candidates based on ambition, sophistication, and a drive to earn an award-winning credit.

• Discipline & Rigor: You must possess the professional discipline acquired from a formal Film Scoring or Music Production degree/diploma from a recognized institution (e.g., Berklee, KM Conservatory, etc.). We need academic grounding, not just passion.
• Versatility under Pressure: The ability to pivot stylistically from a soulful thumri-inspired love song to a high-octane Hollywood-style action score within a tight turnaround.
• Story-Centric Composer: An innate ability to read a visual scene, understand the director's vision, and prioritize the narrative above personal musical preference. Your music must serve the film first.
• Thick Skin and High-Volume Output: Be prepared for constructive criticism and multiple revisions. Your commitment must be to delivering the final, perfected piece, even after numerous changes.

Why This Opportunity is Your Gold Mine

If you are currently a talented graduate or an early-career composer struggling to break into the top tier, this project is your launching pad.

• Unrivaled Portfolio Piece: This will be a feature-length, high-concept animated project that will be submitted to international festivals, giving you a major, verifiable credit.
• Full Creative Ownership (within brief): You will be the sole Music Composer/Director, owning the entire musical identity of the film—an opportunity rarely given to fresh talent.
• Networking and Exposure: Direct collaboration with a passionate creative team, giving you the professional networking required to elevate your career.

To Apply: Submit a professional portfolio that clearly demonstrates your command over Indian Classical Fusion, including at least two pieces that showcase both rich traditional melody and high-end international production value. Show us the next A.R. Rahman.
